NASA’s Spirulina Bar
NASA uses spirulina as space food after research concludes it is an ideal food source in space because of it’s nutritional value, light weight, and ability to grow in space. Spirulina is a light weight vegan food source with high protein, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

Spirulina’s anti cancer benefits, cholesterol and diabetes lowering effects, and anti-inflammatory effects are documented in a few studies. Here are few of them.

Spirulina boosts IQ in school age children.
Detoxification of Lead and Heavy Metals
Unfortunately, 34 million American homes have lead-based paint (HUD) and over 6 million homes have lead pipes (AWWA). In 2015, 18 million people were served by water systems with lead violations.
Chronic lead poisoning is linked to brain development disorders, lower IQ, ADHD, irritability, forgetfulness, depression, and fatigue.
The CDC estimates 600,000 children have elevated blood lead levels and that an additional 600,000 children are undiagnosed.
So what is a parent to do?
Chlorella significantly reduces lead levels in the blood of mice.
Excerpt from research:
“We have observed in the group receiving the CVE/lead simultaneous exposure a dramatic reduction of 66.03% in blood lead levels, when compared to lead-exposed nontreated control. On the other hand, CVE treatment following lead exposure produced a much less effective chelating effect. CVE treatments for 3 or 10 days, starting 24 h following lead exposure, produced a reduction in blood lead levels of 13.5% and 17%, respectively, compared to lead-exposed nontreated controls.”

More research demonstrating the protective effects of spirulina and chlorella against lead and metal toxicity.
Research excerpt:
“Algae such as Spirulina and Chlorella can attenuate Cd or Pb toxicity in the liver, kidneys and brain of animals [124,125,126,127]. Spirulina also has marked anti-teratogenic effects in Cd-injected pregnant mice. Oral administration of a high dose of Spirulina significantly decreased the frequency of foetuses with exencephaly, micrognathia, and skeletal abnormalities induced by Cd [128]. Moreover, Spirulina has been reported to reduce the quantity of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes and micronucleated normochromatic erythrocytes in blood cells of Cd-exposed mice (both the mother and the foetus) [129]. These algae possess many dietary antioxidants, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, phycocyanobilin and carotenes, which enable them to alleviate toxic metal-induced oxidative stress [130].”
