Pure cultured Spirulina thrivesin the brilliant Hawaiian Sun

Only Spirulina farm in the world to have “continuous cultivation”(other farms must shut down for 3 – 4 months every year)

Over 20 years evolving into a superior strain in the hot, Hawaiian sun

A clean environment for pureHawaiian Spirulina

Algae is very absorptive: Hawaiian Spirulina has less than 0.2 ppm lead. Some Spirulina products and different food items have over 5.0 ppm.

Kona, Hawaii is blessed withclean water and clear skies

• Only Spirulina farm in the world to use only 100% potable, municipal water and deep sea water• Other farms use river water or irrigation water

1. Sea Source: Hawaiian Spirulina is the only micro-algae grown usingseawater drawn from a depth of 600 meters

2. Land Source: Hawaiian Spirulina also uses municipal drinking water fromdeep within the Hawaiian aquifer

Water Sources of Hawaiian Spirulina

94 different minerals from the deep sea water makeHawaiian Spirulina superior to other brands

Our Patented Ocean Chill™ dryingprevents oxidation of key nutrients

Low oxygen levels (< 1%) are essential to preserve key nutrients

Quality Control department:15 different quality tests for each

lot of Hawaian Spirulina

Ocean Chill™ Drying gives Hawaiian SpirulinaSuperior Enzyme Levels

S.O.D.Enzyme

Enzyme levels are a measure of freshness and antioxidant strength

Hawaiian Spirulina far exceeds all others in carotenoids

Why do we need to supplementwith Hawaiian Spirulina?

Nutrition experts and the United StatesGovernment recommend that we eat at least

5 – 9 servings of different fruits andvegetables each day

3 grams of Hawaiian Spirulina have the same amount of phytonutrients

as 5 servings of fruits and vegetables

Oxidation and Free-Radical Damage

• Causes damage to DNA and cell structures• Caused by pollution, cigarette smoke, sunburn,

radiation, exercise, even immune function.• Leads to aging and degenerative diseases• Hawaiian Spirulina is exceptionally rich in

antioxidants that neutralize free-radicals.

Variety of Antioxidants in HawaiianSpirulina

• Oil Soluble: Carotenoids– Beta Carotene– Zeaxanthin– Cryptoxanthin

• Water Soluble: Phycocyanin• Enzymes: Super Oxide

Dismutase• Other foods may have one or

two antioxidants—HawaiianSpirulina has many

Page 16: Cyanotech Spirulina

Hawaiian Spirulina supplies a rainbow of vitalantioxidants (shown in actual colors)

• Phycocyanin (antioxidant for liver and kidneyhealth, very hard to find in foods)

• Chlorophyll (anti-toxin, anti-carcinogen)

• Zeaxanthin (antioxidant for the eyes and brain)

• Beta carotene (antioxidant for skin, eyes,immune system, safe source of vitamin A)

Page 17: Cyanotech Spirulina

Phycocyanin protects the liverand kidneys from toxins

• Phycocyanin is a water soluble antioxidant that givesSpirulina its blue tint

• Japanese studies show that phycocyanin helps andprotects the liver and kidneys.

Zeaxanthin protectsour eyes as we age

• The leading cause of blindness inolder adults is called maculardegeneration (AMD).

• Foods rich in Zeaxanthin help preventAMD.

Just 6 tablets provide the amount ofzeaxanthin in a bowl of spinach, one ofthe richest vegetable sources..
