discovered the perfect solution in spirulina, a species of photosynthetic plant-like<br />

vegetation that contained every desirable nutritional element needed for good health.<br />

It was a special form of blue green algae growing in tropical climates.<br />

In order to raise the highest quality spirulina, Dr. Hills developed a hydroponic<br />

farming system in carefully controlled fresh-water ponds. This method<br />

produces a pure strain of spirulina. It is harvested and dried into a powder<br />

without being processed, cooked, or preserved. In 1996 Dr. Hills chose <strong>RBC</strong><br />

to carry on his dream for the production and worldwide distribution of<br />

spirulina. His legacy still lives today in <strong>RBC</strong> spirulina products.<br />

Some of the many benefits of <strong>RBC</strong> spirulina include:<br />

Dr. Christopher Hills<br />

• It is approximately 70% highly digestible protein, with 18 essential and nonessential amino acids,<br />

92% NPU (Net Protein Utilization), and it is the only vegetarian source of vitamin B12.<br />

• It is one of the richest natural sources of vitamins, minerals, natural calcium, and enzymes.<br />

• It provides alpha and betacarotenes including lutein, astaxanthin and zeaxanthin (nutrients for the<br />

retina and macula of the eye). It contains other antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase (SOD)<br />

(1,700 units/g), and a newly recognized antioxidant called phycocyanin (1g/10g), which is the “blue”<br />

antioxidant that scavenges the most dangerous hydroxyl and alkyl free radicals.<br />

• It contains plant sterols to support balance in both men and women. They have shown antioxidant<br />

activity against damaging lipid peroxidation. These sitosterols preserve and protect DNA and cell<br />

replication.<br />

• It is high in DNA and RNA with important purines and pyrimidines for cell regeneration.<br />

• It contains inositol and the whole range of essential and non-essential fatty acids, including gamma<br />

linolenic and linoleic acid, which are precursors for the master hormones called prostaglandins, and<br />

they are essential to healthy membranes throughout the body.<br />

• It contains factors that support healthy red blood cells.<br />

• It's a natural food source of vitamin K, which appears to help<br />

repair and minimize scar tissue in skin.<br />

• Its unique phytochemicals and other nutrients strengthen the<br />

immune system. It also contains water-soluble polysaccharides<br />

that in animal and cell studies, have been shown to increase<br />

antibody response, cytokines, interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and<br />

tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha).<br />

• It contains sulfolipids, which cross the blood brain barrier<br />

helping to protect the structure and function of brain cells.<br />

• It is an excellent addition to any weight loss program because it is high in protein, low in<br />

carbohydrates, and low in calories. It gives a sense of fullness because it is a protein rich food that<br />

increases energy while dieting.<br />
