TIENS Spirulina Capsules

I. Relevant fundamental knowledge 

The  modern society is in a state that owns unparalleled vantage. The human beings are enjoying the fast and convenient traffic, sumptuous and fine foods, limitless data and information, as well as colorful culture. However, the outspread vantages bring much adversity to modern people——the furious competition, busy work, too many social intercourses, as well as tense rhythm and tremendous pressure. Thus, many people are living in an irregular state and their repast is unreasonable, namely that they gain the successful career at the price of their health. With the development of modern industry——the pollution, radiation,  toxic chemicals and all kinds of civilization diseases are striking every modern people. Therefore, the ideal “enjoy the nice life, own the health life” has been the dream.

The scientists and medicine authorities in American, Japanese, and German have finished the long-term experiments and have researched many clinical tests, and then they proved that Spirulina owns the efficacies for preventing and curing many diseases, while no side-effect will be caused as well. Spirulina gets its name for its physique assumes to be spirality, and they live in alkalis saline of the tropical and semitropical

zone. According to the textual research of the botani

sts, Spirulina is the earliest organism that appeared in the earth, they can p

roduce the oxygen for promoting survival, multiply and evolution of the

 organisms. (Relevant Story) The Africa aborigines have realized the nutritive value of the Spirulina long before. They have taken the Spirulina as the 

main food, and the Spirulina makes their body stronger and full of vigor, so as to adapt the need of existence in the hot environment which demands the heavy physical performance. The medicsninvestigated and discovered that the aborigines are difficult to fall ill, which is related to the Spirulina in enhancing the body immunity. In the 1960s, one of the Belgium expeditions traveled in Sahara, they found the green Spirulina in the Chadian Lake. The latent value of Spirulina is discovered

according to the identification of the botanist Later, the scientist have started their field investigations in succes

sion. They all judge that Spirulina is the food that owns the most comprehensive and balanced nutriments of all the foods at present. (Relevant Story) In 1973, the France scientist Dr. Cleme

nt, who have applied himself to the research of Spirulina, published his research findings in the International Proteins Conference that: Spirulina is the best pure-natural proteins food source of all the foods known to human beings. 

There are more than 25,000 kinds of algaes in the earth, among all of them, blue algae are the earliest creature in the world, which appeared in more than 3.5 billion years ago. Spirulina belongs to the blue algae, and it is the minor algae which lives in waters and assumes cyan. The Spirulina gets its name because its shape is taenidia. The importance of Spirulina lies in that: it is able to supplement the essential nutriments for the human body, regulate the balance of the body physiological enginery, promote the body metabolism, strengthen the body immunity as well as enhance the body diathesis, so as to resist and cure the diseases. In this way, taking the Spirulina will bring all benefits and no harm to every person. 

Health is the first wealth to human being. The health depends on not only the medicines, but also on the scientific nutrition. Fortunately, Spirulina has been the best natural and green health food that gathers the nutritional and medicinal values together so far. Therefore, it is ascertained by the FAO to be “the optimal natural health food for human body in 21st century”.

1. The “talisman” of NASA

The astronauts have very supereminent body and mentality, but the long-term and hardy work must depend on “Super Nutrition”. However, the chamber seems to be “space about a inch is equal to a inch of gold”, so it cannot store too much food. Therefore, it is quite necessary to find the “Omnipotent Food” which is abundant in nutriments, high-quality proteins, essential amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins and all kinds of microelements. In addition, the food must be small, light, safe, nontoxic, easy to be absorbed, hard to produce food debris, credible in quality, as well as easy to be stored. In order to solve the problem and find the “Super Food”, many scientists in American and Russian (the Soviet Union) Space Administrations have tried their best to research it. At last, the Spirulina become the final solution to the problem.

2. Spirulina——“Super Food”

In 1492, the explorer Columbus discovered the Spirulina in Mexico and saw magic efficacy with his own eye. However, the Europeans were immersed on the discovery of new continent during that time, so they showed no attention to the discovery of the Spirulina and forgot it gradually.

In 1940, the Spirulina was discovered by a European expedition in lakefront of the Chadian Lake in Central Africa. From then on, the Spirulina have raised the global green miracle in an irresistible momentum.

In all the known natural plants, Spirulina gathers all the most excellent nutriments which own the effects in health care. Moreover, Spirulina owns the optimum combinations of all the nutriments. For example, the whole nutriments in 1 gram of Spirulina are equal to 1 kilogram of all kinds of vegetables and fruits. In addition, 8 gram of Spirulina is able to keep the human life for 40 days.

The nutriments content in Spirulina is nearly the same as the ideal standard for human body which designed by the Food and Agriculture Organization. Thus, it is canonized consistently by the United Nations and all the countries in the world.

The average life of Japan ranks the first in the world for they can consume 500 tons of Spirulina every year. Every one of them takes the Spirulina when they traveled in China. In addition, Japan imports more than 500 tons of Spirulina products from American every year (there is no natural Spirulina in Japanese homeland); 73% of who are more than 50 years old take the Spirulina.

3. “Laurels” won by Spirulina

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) recommended: “Spirulina is the optimal food in 21st century”.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) recommended: “Spirulina is the optimal and perfect food in the future”.

The International Microorganism and Proteins Conference deemed the Spirulina to be “the super health food in the future”.

The United Nations World Food Conference recognized the Spirulina to be “the super health food”.

The World Federation of United Nations Association praised the Spirulina to be “the optimal nutrition source in 21st century”.

The World Health Organization (WHO) ascertained that: “Spirulina is the optimal health food for human being in 21st century”.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA): “Spirulina is the optimal source to proteins for human”.

The Chinese Ministry of Health deemed the Spirulina to be “new resource and health food”.

2. Efficacy of the product 

1) Strengthening the body, enhancing the body capability to resist the epidemic diseases

Immune system, which is equal to the army and policeman of a country, is the barrier to confront various illness-caused factors from both interior and exterior of human body. Thus, it is the guarantee to assure body in a healthy state for a long time. If immune system is damaged because of various reasons, the ability of our body to confront illness will recede. Then the nosogenesis will enter our body from the weak points, which will cause serious damage to our health.

The Spirulina owns the unique nutriments and it is abundant in compounds which can strengthen the body immunity, such as β- carotene, phycocyanin, polysaccharides, etc. These nutriments can enhance the activity of the body immune system obviously, as well as kill the pathogens effectively, so as to enhance the body capability of resisting the diseases, decrease the incidences of infection, tumour and autoimmune diseases effectively as well.

The Spirulina can disturb the reproduction and breeding of many kinds of viruses. In addition, lots of amino acids in Spirulina can repair the damage of liver cells and resume the liver function, so is owns good curative effect to hepatitis. Moreover, the Spirulina is able to supplement the physical force and promote the recovery. Furthermore, it is able to regulate the metabolism, enhance the visceral organs functions and resist the anoxia, so you will feel full of vigor if you take the Spirulina for a long time.

The medical scientists discovered that the Spirulina can stimulate not only the immune system. In fact, it is able to strengthen the body ability to produce the new blood cells. The important component parts of immune system---marrow stem cell, macrophage, T-cell, natural killer cell, spleen and thymus are all enhanced in functions. It is because that the macrophage is increasing in quantity and augmenting in activity, so it will be more effective in sterilization.

The Japanese scientists claimed in the latest published literature that: a unique extract in the Spirulina is able to inhibit the replications of AIDS virus, herpes virus, flu virus, parotitis virus and measles virus, at the same time, the extract is quite safe to human body.

2) Enhancing the body capability to resist harmful radiations

The Spirulina is the well-known natural health product for resisting the radiation. The Spirulina polysaccharides can enhance the body immunity, and resist the harmful radiations in inhibiting the normal proliferations of the human marrow cells 

(Relevant Story) In 1986, the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the former Soviet Union suffered the disastrous nuclear leakage, so thousands of the local people were emerged at death threat of the nuclear radiation. The international community was carrying out the humanitarianism aid. 

Of all the disaster-relief materials and equipments, the most precious one was the Spirulina product, which was developed by Japan just then. The product was able to resume the hematopoiesis for people who were radiated, thus, the incidence of the radioactive diseases decreased greatly. From then on, it has been well-known that the Spirulina owns the prominent efficacy in resisting the radiation. 

(Relevant Story) In modern life, the harmful radiations are bringing more and more negative effects to human health. For example, the computers and mobile telephones, microwave equipments, as well as bad materials from finishing the houses will cause serious damage especially to pregnant women and embryos. The prominent effect on resisting the radiation damage of Spirulina can build the solid “protecting wall” to resist radiation for you. 

Nowadays, we are facing the damage from poisonous chemicals in air, water, microwave, mobile telephone, bad finishing materials, foods and medicines. Thus, we should eliminate the accumulated toxins in the body constantly. The comprehensive and unique trophic structure for Spirulina is abundant in chlorophyll, phycocyanin, polysaccharides, so it is able to detoxicate and expel the toxins effectively. 

At the same time, the Spirulina is also the ideal auxiliary medicine for curing the tumour with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Lots of clinical experiments indicate that Spirulina can release the untoward reactions greatly after radiotherapy and chemotherapy for people who suffered from the tumour.

3) The Spirulina and diabetes 

The diabetics are easy to suffer from the deficiency of essential nutriments of human body, since they have to bear many tabus in their meal. Fortunately, the “natural green health care products” ——Spirulina is abundant in ample, comprehensive and balanced nutrition, so it is able to supplement the comprehensive and balanced nutrition quickly for the diabetics. 

At the same time, the Spirulina preparation owns the auxiliary therapeutic action to diabetics. Series of researches manifest that the polysaccharides in the Spirulina can strengthen the body capability of eliminating the free radicals, alleviate or inhibit the damage in pancreatic islet β-cell from the free radicals, promote the repair and regeneration of the pancreatic islet β-cell, improve the relative deficiency in insulin, as well as rectify disorder of the lipid metabolism. In addition, the flavonoids in the Spirulina can improve the functions of pancreatic islet β-cell persistently. Moreover, the organic chromium can improve the sugar tolerance for diabetics and decrease the blood sugar and blood fat. 

Although the functions in decreasing the sugar is weaker than many medical medicines used by the Herbalist and Western doctors, the Spirulina owns no side-effect and can be used for a long time. In addition, the Spirulina can act as the auxiliary medicine for the light and moderate increasing of blood sugar, or for whose blood sugar are controlled basically, so as to improve the systemic functions. Meantime, it is able to decrease the dose of the medicine which synthesized by chemical ways and used for lowering the sugar, alleviate the toxic action and side effect.

4) Spirulina and cardiovascular diseases

With the growth in human living standard and change of dietary structure, the cardiovascular diseases have become “the first killer” to modern urbanites. In order to prevent the deathful cardiopathy and apoplexy, we should decrease the content of harmful cholesterol in the blood. Besides changing the bad dietary and living habits, we should take some natural foods which own the efficacy in health protection, while Spirulina is the very food that satisfies the demands. 

Researches from Department of Scientific in Tokyo University manifest that the Spirulina is abundant in the essential fatty acid— γ-linolenic acid, which is able to decrease the serum cholesterol and improve the degree of arteriosclerosis, so as to alleviate the heart disease effectively. In addition, no side effect was found during the researches. 

Scientists in Mexico, Argentina Japan and India have discovered that Spirulina owns the efficacy in lowering the cholesterol. Moreover, the Spirulina is able to enhance the cardiovascular system functions and decrease the blood sugar. 

The published literature in Japan and India indicate that: the blood cholesterol can be lowered if we take some grams of Spirulina every day. In addition, it is able to increase the high density lipoprotein (good cholesterol) when lowering the low density lipoprotein (bad cholesterol) in blood serum. The researches in German and Japan discovered that the body weight will decrease with the lowering of cholesterol. All the researches show that Spirulina can decrease the cholesterol, so it is the beneficial and nutritional supplement for keeping the health in cardiovascular system.

5) Spirulina and beauty treatment 

The Spirulina contains the active substances that can resist the aging, such as β-carotene, vitamin E, γ-linolenic acid. Therefore, it is able to eliminate the free radicals in vivo, postpone the body aging, regulate the metabolism, facilitate the normalization of body functions, delay the gonad atrophy and enhance its vigor, so as to provide the beauty for you through the body. 

The Spirulina is the complete health food that high in proteins and low in calorie, for it is abundant in balanced nutriments such as plant proteins, vitamins, chlorophylls, β- carotene, γ-linolenic acid, so it is able to regulate the metabolism. In addition, the Spirulina is rich in iron, so the anaemia will not be caused when you are slimming.

6) Spirulina and children nutrition

The children demand the nutriments urgently for they are on their development stage. Once the nutrition supply is insufficient in this stage, it will cause serious adverse effects for their health and growth. The comprehensive and abundant nutriments in Spirulina can provide the “shortcut” for supplement the nutrition to children scientifically.

Tianshi Nutrient Super Calcium Series

A. Related basic knowledg

 1. Calcium and health

      Calcium is the source of life and the most active, metallic macroelement with the highest content in human body. Calcium is the element with the 5th highest content in human body (the 4 elements with higher content than calcium are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen), which cannot be synthetized in vivo and must be taken from outside.

 Calcium constitutes 1.5-2% of the body weight of human. 99% of calcium consists in hard tissues, such as skeleton, teeth, hair, nail etc., and constitutes the calcium bank of human body. 1% of calcium consists in blood, soft tissues and extracellular fluid, and constitutes calcium pool. The body requires all lifetime to maintain the equilibrium between bone calcium and blood calcium. Once disequilibrium occurs, diseases will be

 produced.

     2. Functions of calcium

         1) Four main functions of bone calcium: constituting skeleton, protecting internal organs, bearing body weight and supporting human body.

           2) Functions of blood calcium:

           a.       Maintaining normal rhythm of the heart

b.      Maintaining normal blood circulation

c.       Participating in the transmission in nerve center            

d.      Maintaining the contraction and relaxation of muscles

e.       Participating in blood coagulation                        

f.       Expediting phagocytosis of leucocytes and the adherence of cells

3) Calcium migration: In order to maintain the equilibrium between bone calcium and blood calcium, when there is calcium deficiency in the human body, parathyroids will secrete parathyroid hormone to take calcium from skeletons to maintain normal vital activities. Negative calcium equilibrium (consumption greater than intake) begins since 20 years old, and 1% of calcium is taken from skeletons into blood every year in order to maintain calcium equilibrium. Since 50 years old, the amount of total bone calcium is decreased by 30%, and since 70 years old, it is decreased by 50%. Therefore, calcium deficiency (osteoporosis) is produced. In order to maintain equilibrium, parafollicular cells of thyroid gland secrete calcitonin to stimulate the restoration of blood calcium into bones, which results in ectopic deposit of calcium, that is, hyperosteogeny. Osteoporosis and hyperosteogeny are a pair of osteopathia, the mechanism of production of which are calcium deficiency. Calcium deficiency may induce 109 kinds of diseases in human. Calcium deficiency has been the problem of health and nutrition of all the people. Therefore, specialists warn us there is calcium deficiency in all the people and there is no time to delay to supplement calcium for all the people. Calcium supplement is required during the whole life, especially for women. During the gestation, woman loses 30000mg of calcium. During delivery, 5000-10000mg is lost. 1000-1500mg of calcium is lost during menstrual period, and 300mg/day of calcium is lost during lactation. For this reason, almost all the health problems in women are concerned with calcium deficiency.

2.  Causes of calcium deficiency  

1）Long-term intake insufficiency: There is calcium shortage in the food; the calcium taken in is difficult to be absorbed. 

2）Consumption: heart 300mg/day; neurotransmission 200mg/day; calcium is also lost via sweat glands and stool. 

3）Calcium loss: regulation of self-stable system, trauma, diseases etc. 

5. Symptoms of calcium deficiency 

Children:   Night terrors, night cry, dysphoria, night sweat, anorexia, caput quadratum, rickets, skeleton maldevelopment, low immunity susceptible to infections

Adolescents: Leg asthenia, spasm, poor physical training results, tiredness, hypodynamia, dysphoria, impaired concentration, monophagia, anorexia, cariosity, teeth maldevelopment, high susceptivity to cold, hypersensitivity.

Young people: Recurrenting languor, hypodynamia, spasm, soreness of waist, notalgia and susceptivity to cold, hypersensitivity. 

Pregnant women and puerpera: Calf spasm, soreness of waist, notalgia arthralgia edema, hypertension of pregnancy etc. 

Middle-aged and old people: Soreness of waist, notalgia, calf spasm, osteoporosis, hyperosteogeny, osteomalacia, various bone fractures, hypertension, cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, lithiasis, tumors etc.
