The natural plant pigments that give Spirulina its distinct color also provide numerous health benefits. These include chlorophyll (green), which helps cleanse the body of toxins, beta carotene (orange), a potent antioxidant, and phycocyanin (blue), which supports protein absorption and healthy immune function.

Emerald Balance is 100% vegetarian. Its most prominent ingredients, green barley grass, spirulina, and cracked cell chlorella, are the main contributors to its rich, nourishing green color. These are highly prized for their generous quantities of antioxidants and proteins--essential ingredients that build connective tissue, hair, skin and nails.

While water is the key ingredient for a healthy lawn, it is not the only answer. Fertilization is generally required for that lush green look, as is bug control.

Stephen: We don't promote consuming anything that has been denatured -- even in the slightest bit. Pills and powders are not natural, of course. If you want to eat algae, go to a lake and eat raw algae as other natural creatures do. All the information and pseudo-science fed to the masses about the supposed "benefits" of these denatured supplements is erroneous, hypothetical, and inspired by greed.

No! Many greenroofs appear red, orange, yellow and all colors in between at different times of the year because the fleshy leaves of various succulents change colors throughout the year. Also, greenroof plants are not all evergreen, nor should they be. The beauty and anticipation of the change of seasons add to the color palette. And of course, flowers vary, too, in colors from whites to yellow, pinks, deep reds and purples and blues.

You are most likely seeing classic chromatic aberration (CA), the details of which are explained in beautiful detail by Van Walree. (See also HyperPhysics or Wikipedia.) In short, chromatic aberration results from the fact that different wavelengths of light refract slightly differently when passing through your lens. This causes some wavelengths to be misfocused, have different magnification and/or get shifted laterally in your image.

Individuals who consume fewer than three balanced meals a day, do not get the recommended intake of fresh fruits and vegetables, are on restricted diets or are regularly subject to intense physical activity will benefit from incorporating Noevir Spirulina as a daily dietary supplement. Those living an active, modern lifestyle can especially benefit from the powerful cleansing activity of Spirulina to eliminate dioxins from the body.

Spirulina is grown artificially in concrete or plastic ponds using a sodium chloride salt content, often 100 times greater than that of Klamath Lake. Almost all Spirulina manufacturers spray dry, which kills Enzymes and other heat-sensitive components, and decreases the Beta-Carotene due to the high temperatures. Our AFA Blue-Green Algae quality care begins with the selection of the freshest AFA "Blooms" from pristine Eagle Ridge.

Color: hold the glass at an angle against a white background (table cloth or sheet of paper) and assess the color in the middle of the bowl of the glass and at the rim. White wines start life pale and darken with age. Red wines start out a deep, bright purple and gradually turn ruby, mahogany and eventually brown as they age.

No. The property can remain as it is when designated and all materials can be replaced in kind with similar materials. If the roof is asphalt shingles, you can replace it with asphalt shingles of any color. You may also replace existing vinyl or aluminum siding with a different colored siding of the same material. You only need an HDC Certificate of Approval to change the materials or alter the design.

Some RGB cameras come from the factory with the sync signal set to the green channel. The frame grabber needs to have the sync signal on channel four. Having it set to the green channel will make the color image overly green. Refer to your camera manual to see how to turn the sync on green off.

The color of the iris is determined by the amount of melanin pigment it has. The pigment in the iris is always brown. Blue eyes have very little pigment, and brown eyes have much more pigment. Green eyes have a moderate amount of pigment.

Palm oil naturally contains carotenes (pro-vitamin A) which gives it its red color. Palm oil carotenoids have comparative alpha-carotene and beta-carotene distribution as carrots. (The refined red palm oil that is available in some food stores in the US has 15 times the amounts of carotenes compared to carrots and 300 times more than tomatoes!). Approximately 1 tablespoon of red palm oil meets 100% of the adult reference dietary intake (RDI).

No, spirulina used in Spira Max is cultivated in a controlled environment using specially selected nutrients, minerals and purified water. No lead, mercury, pesticides, herbicides or other pollutants are found in these spirulina ponds. Strict quality control is employed to ensure the purity of the spirulina grown.

No, chlorella cell wall is made of indigestible cellulose, just like green grass, while the cell wall of spirulina is made of complex yet soluble proteins and carbohydrates. In addition, chorella does not seem to have the same anti-viral, anti-cancer and immune stimulating properties of spirulina.

Yes, giving Spirulina to your children is a great idea! It's an easy way to fill in the gaps when they aren't eating all of the veggies that they should be eating. Spirulina tablets can be chewed or swallowed (if your child is able), and Spirulina powder can be added to yogurt, juice or applesauce.

Athletes need extra nutrition. Spirulina is a high intensity superfood for a high intensity workout. Taken before jogging or competition, it delivers energy and improves stamina.
