| Q |
How does Spirulina improve gastrointestinal and digestive health? |
| A: |
When people take Spirulina they often notice immediate change in regularity and elimination. Research confirms it does promote digestion and bowel function. Spirulina suppresses bad bacteria like E.coli and Candida yeast and stimulates beneficial flora like lactobacillus and bifidobacteria. Healthy flora is the foundation of good health and it increases absorption of nutrients from the foods we eat, and helps protect against infection. Spirulina is a great food for malnourished people precisely because it helps rebuild healthy intestinal flora, which are essential for the utilization of more complex foods. It is also benefitial for AIDS patients because in AIDS patients, nutrient malabsorption associated with opportunistic infections can initiate full blown AIDS. |
