Spirulina for Elderly People

Spirulina’s anti-ageing properties and health benefits make it a super nutritional supplement for elderly people.

Anti-ageing

Spirulina has several anti-aging substances such as beta carotene, Vitamin E, GLA, superoxide dismutase (SOD), etc. which prevent cell damage by removing free radicals. In addition, it contains nucleic acids (DNA & RNA) that helps in repairing genetic elements in injured cells and slows down the ageing process. The SOD present in Spirulina can neutralise active oxygen, delay ageing, revive energy levels, and prevent formation of wrinkles, black spots and grey hair. SOD is also beneficial in restoring energy levels, memory and youthfulness.

Helps Reduce Gastric Problems

Spirulina contains alkaline substances, protein and chlorophyll, which help in relieving gastric ulcers by neutralising gastric juice, protecting stomach wall, and diminishing inflammation and swelling of wounds. It also helps to coat irritated stomach lining, inhibit maladaptive pepsin secretions and reduce tissue inflammation. In addition, Spirulina has an extraordinary effect to restore intestinal and stomach functions, and may help to cure gastroptosis.

Improves Indigestion

Spirulina contains beta-carotene which enhances gastrointestinal health and helps in digestion and food absorption. Spirulina also stimulates beneficial microbes such as lactobacillus and bifidobacteria in the digestive tract, which improve digestion and bowel function.

Prevents Cardio-Vascular Diseases

Spirulina is a rich source of chlorophyll, serine, sylvite and vitamin B6 which help to lower blood pressure, decrease blood glutinousness, and maintain softness of blood vessels. Spirulina is an excellent source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which is beneficial in reducing cholesterol in the blood and to prevent heart disease and stroke.

Strengthens Immune System

Spirulina enhances human immune system by improving the productivity of marrow cells, functions of thymus and spleen, facilitating the synthesis of serum protein. The chlorophyll present in spirulina is a detoxification agent, which removes atmospheric and other pollutants from the body. In addition, Spirulina contains phycocyanin and allophycocyanin that improve the immune system by increasing white blood cells in the human body.
