Giveaway: Two Month Supply of Proselem — A $120.00 Value — 3 Winners — $360.00 Total!

I am very excited to announce that we have a new sponsor on our Resource Page who has brought a Spirulina supplement into the United States from France, where it has been used for 7 years. This product is a 98% whole food product. In addition to the powerful anti-oxidant Spirulina, it also has naturally occurring selenium, vitamin E, and another powerful anti-oxidant called SOD.

Pure food supplement

This is a very pure food supplement that has finally reached our shores.  The French High Council of Public Health has approved Spirulina for use in human nutrition as a vegetable and a condiment. The official French categorization of Spirulina is that of a natural, non-traditional food source. It may be nontraditional to us, but it was and is very traditional to the cultures who have used it for centuries.

I think it may be close to a sacred food to those cultures. Read more about Spirulina here.

Simple ingredients –  easy absorption

Spirulina has an impressive amount of nutritional elements that are quickly and rapidly absorbed.  Some of its proteins are enzyme pigments.  The phycocyanins and phycoerythrinas produce its characteristic blue pigments.  These blue pigments along with carotenoids function in capturing the widest range of the solar spectrum where chlorophyll alone cannot.

The make-up of the proteins expressed in Spirulina’s amino acids is very interesting because it is almost the same as what the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations has theoretically established as the international model for fighting malnutrition. There is however a slight deficiency in sulfur-containing amino acids in spirulina, but the peoples of Africa and the Aztecs of Mexico naturally compensated for this by eating it along with millet and corn.

Vitamin E

In this product the manufacturers use d-alpha-tocopheryl acid succinate extracted from natural sources (plant seeds) which is the most active of the tocopherols.  Its antioxidant activity centers primarily on cell membranes where it prevents peroxidation of the phospholipids.

While protecting the membranes from oxidation, tocopherol acts in synergy with the other antioxidant systems, including selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase which breaks down the lipidic peroxides formed.

Superoxide dismutase (SOD)

We have a natural system of anti-oxidizing enzymes, which includes SOD, catalase, and peroxidase. These enzymes eliminate free radicals.  These anti-oxidizing enzymes present in the cell effectively eliminate primary free radicals on formation.  As a result very few free radicals are allowed to oxidize the cell constituents protecting them from damage.

However under certain conditions (smoking, stress, pollution, solar radiation, etc.) we will be exposed to free radicals when the rate of production of these oxidants is greatly increased. The free radicals will oxidize the cell constituents producing secondary free radicals that are capable of further oxidation. This can lead to cell destruction and the possibility of various diseases and cell pathologies..

Up to now the primary antioxidants (SOD and catalase) have not been utilized because they are fragile molecules and difficult to stabilize.  The only existing method is to supply secondary antioxidants from food or nutritional supplements to slow the damage caused by oxidant stress.

Here comes Proselem

Proselem is a source of primary anti-oxidants. It is made of plant-based capsules containing selenium-rich spirulina and natural Vitamin E extract, plus micro-capsules of SOD that protect it from the gastric juices.  The 400 mgs of spirulina contained in each capsule represents:  50 µg of selenium, 8 mg of Vitamin E, plus 5 mg of superoxide dismutase.

Quality

This product is from a company that takes pains to make a quality product. Safety and quality control are paramount. Proselem is made using a specific, selected strain, tested by and obtained from the famous Institute Pasteur in Paris. This strain is toxin free. (There are some strains of cyanobacteria that produce toxins).
