Dunaliella Salina

There have been many breakthroughs in science and medications over the past couple of years. We are constantly waiting for the next best thing. Now the wait is over because now there is a breakthrough in the world of supplements.
Muscle cramping has always been considered a mystery; there is no exact answer as to why we get muscle cramps. We have often turned to products like Advil and other pain relieving over the counter medicine, however there is now a substance that can not only prevent them but is organic and natural.

What is Dunaliella Salina?

Dunaliella Salina is a soft wall, single cell, edible species of marine microalgae found in the remote coastal waters off north Western Australia.
Research has shown microalgae such as Dunaliella Salina to be the most nutrient-dense food on earth, with minimal digestible structures in contrast to higher plants or animals or microalgae with hard cell walls.

"Dunaliella salina is a type of halophile pink micro-algae especially found in sea salt fields. Known for its anti-oxidant activity because of its ability to create large amount of carotenoids, it is used in cosmetics and dietary supplements. Few organisms can survive in such highly saline conditions as salt evaporation ponds. To survive, these organisms have high concentrations of -carotene to protect against the intense light and high concentrations of glycerol to provide protection against osmotic pressure. This offers an opportunity for commercial biological production of these substances." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunaliella_salina)

Some of you out there might be thinking, Algae? Yeah right! But in products like Recovery e21 (electrolyte replenishments capsule) the substance is powdered down and packaged as a capsule you take orally. According to the Recovery e21 website FAQ"s ""

What does Recovery e21 taste and smell like?

"Since it is a naturally derived mineral matrix from the sea, it smells and tastes like the sea." (http://www.recoverye21.com/faq)

Research has proven that carotenoids have antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, and immune enhancing properties. Dunaliella Salina microalgae contains the powerful carotenoid family alpha and beta carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin and cryptoxanthin. This powerhouse combination protects against free radical cell damage responsible for premature aging, cataracts, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic diseases.

So how does Dunaliella salina compare to Spirulina?

Dunaliella salina is arguably the most nutrient dense food source known. On a gram per gram basis, Dunaliella salina can contain more than twice the chlorophyll of Spirulina, 8 times the mineral content and over 6,000 times the antioxidant content.

Lately medications and supplements have turned to the past and tried more natural methods. It"s now that more organic and natural product are providing customers with results that we are more avenaceous to try them.
