The power from the water

Algae: chlorella, spirulina, kelp - valuable helpers

Algae have long been neglected by science. Today we know how important their contribution to the ecology of our planet is: they provide a significant part of our vital oxygen. In addition, species such as chlorella and spirulina support us in a healthy lifestyle with their concentrated content of nutrients.

Unfortunately, according to the law, we are not allowed to make any statements about the effects of the algae.
Only partial statements may be made about the ingredients.

BIO quality, grown for you under the best conditions

A Japanese delicacy

Algae populate freshwater and saltwater around the globe. Science has still not fully grasped their biodiversity. The culinary and health value of chlorella and spirulina, on the other hand, has been known in Asian countries for thousands of years. The Chinese were the first to put the nutrient-rich seaweed on their menu. Today, Japanese chefs in particular are known for their preparations. The plants capable of photosynthesis live in the light-flooded top layers of the oceans and freshwaters. Microalgae are invisible to the human eye. Macroalgae can reach a length of 60 meters. Large species such as brown algae (also called kelp) form entire 'forests'.

Chlorella - the healthy algae from freshwater

Chlorella is one of the freshwater algae. This tiny microalgae, invisible to the naked eye, is one of the simplest unicellular organisms. The name chlorella is derived from chlorophyll, which makes up most of the algae. She can bind many nutrients and use them for her amazing growth. In countries like Japan, Korea and Taiwan, chlorella is an integral part of the culinary tradition. The demand for chlorella is also increasing worldwide: word has gotten around that this aquatic plant is full of healthy ingredients.

Sango coral powder for your health

When looking for high-quality chlorella products, you should definitely look for organic quality. The seaweed is a highly efficient filter system that binds pollutants and toxins without suffering any damage itself. Accordingly, it seems of the utmost importance to ensure the highest level of purity in algae production. The chlorella cultivation for Magnesium-Quelle products takes place in large, well-maintained breeding tanks that are fed with clear spring water. After harvesting, the chlorella algae are gently dried and micronized in a spray process, i.e. ground to a particularly fine powder. This increases the solution behavior and the bioavailability of chlorella.

Chlorella - a natural source of iron

In addition to its high chlorophyll content, chlorella scores with its vitamins, minerals and nutrients. Aquatic plants contain a lot of iodine, protein and vitamin E. 10 grams of Magnesium-Quelle Chlorella Algae Powder contains 85.7 percent of the daily requirement of iron. This makes the algae the ideal companion for a vegan diet. The powder can be drunk dissolved in a glass of water. Chlorella also pairs well with green smoothies, salad dressings and spreads.

Iron is so important to us:

  • Iron contributes to normal cognitive function.
  • Iron contributes to normal energy metabolism.
  • Iron contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin.
  • Iron contributes to normal oxygen transport in the body.
  • Iron contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system.
  • Iron helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.
  • Iron has a role in cell division.
  • Iron contributes to the normal cognitive development of children.

Spirulina – the climate changer

Like chlorella, spirulina is a microalgae – those aquatic plants that are invisible to the naked eye but can form huge carpets when grouped together. Spirulina is about 0.3 to 0.5 millimeters in size. Its shape is reminiscent of a spiral - hence its name: Spirulina = small spiral. Science does not assign Spirulina to the plant kingdom, but to the bacteria. More specifically, the cyanobacteria, confusingly called blue-green algae by non-scientists. Spirulina is one of the original inhabitants of this planet. Their ability to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen is believed to have contributed to the composition of Earth's atmosphere today.

Best food of the future

Spirulina occurs naturally in highly alkaline salt water. The blue-green algae can also be found in freshwater lakes. Even the ancient Aztecs knew about the nutritional benefits of the plant. They fished them out of Lake Texcoco and let the mass dry on the banks. For a long time, the nutritional value of spirulina was forgotten. But ever since Belgian researcher Jean Leonard rediscovered the plant in 1964, science has been exploring its inner workings. As early as 1974, the WHO declared it the 'Best Food of the Future'. In 1997, the World Food Conference reaffirmed the importance of spirulina as the best alternative food source.

Organic quality from aquaculture

Today, the nutritious spirulina blue-green algae is cultivated in subtropical aquaculture. The resulting products show large differences in quality. If you buy spirulina as a healthy dietary supplement, you should therefore pay attention to organic quality, as is consistently the case in the Magnesium-Quelle product range. Aquaculture thrives in shallow tanks that are 15 to 25 centimeters deep. Paddle wheels keep the water moving and the quality of the crops is constantly monitored. Herbicides or other pollutants are not used. Immediately after harvesting, the spirulina algae are dried at low temperatures and carefully pressed into tablets or ground into powder.

Spirulina – a natural source of protein

The Spirulina products in organic quality impress with their wide range of nutrients and their high bioavailability. The protein content is particularly high at 65 percent. Spirulina also contains plenty of iodine and the minerals calcium, iron and magnesium. As organic products, Magnesium-Quelle tablets and powders are free of coloring agents and preservatives. They contain no sugar, no gluten and no lactose. The Spirulina tablets are to be taken with water or orange juice. The powder goes well in a daily smoothie or in bread dough.

Kelp - Health from the underwater forest

Kelp is a brown algae that thrives in the cool marine waters of the North Atlantic and North Sea. Under water, this macroalga forms forests up to 60 meters high. The large egg-shaped swim bladders are typical of this type of algae. The seaweed owes its synonyms to them egg wrack, bladder wrack and knotted wrack. On average, kelp plants live for ten years. However, specimens have also been found that are estimated to be 400 years old. Kelp is considered a popular marine product used in industry and agriculture. The seaweed has also become increasingly popular as a dietary supplement in recent years. Such products place special demands on the quality of the cultivation and the water quality.

The organic forests in the North Sea

Algae farms have a long tradition in Asian countries. They prove that with care and knowledge, the best organic algae products can be harvested. Magnesium-Quelle's Kelp comes from the British North Sea. Cold water, clear water quality, professional care of the kelp forests and a plant-friendly harvest and further processing produce the best products under the strict guidelines of organic farming. The establishment and care of kelp cultures not only achieves healthy kelp products of the highest quality. Kelp culture also contributes to climate improvement. Kelp has the property of converting large amounts of CO2 into oxygen. Danish researchers have discovered that one hectare of seagrass filters out more CO2 from the atmosphere than ten hectares of forest. And Portuguese scientists say the kelp is even more powerful.

Kelp - a natural source of iodine

Kelp is an excellent source of natural iodine. And according to nutritionists, the micronutrient iodine contributes to normal skin function as well as to normal function of cognition and the nervous system. Iodine also supports the energy metabolism. Iodine is very important for the thyroid gland, which is dependent on the micronutrient for the production of thyroid hormones. The kelp from Magnesium-Quelle is carefully filled into capsules after harvesting and drying in Germany. The organic kelp capsules from Magnesium-Quelle.ch contain 100 percent natural iodine. One capsule taken daily with water is sufficient for daily iodine supply.

Effects of iodine on our body:

  • Iodine contributes to normal production of thyroid hormones and normal thyroid function.
  • Iodine contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system.
  • Iodine contributes to normal energy metabolism.
  • Iodine contributes to normal cognitive function.
  • Iodine helps maintain normal skin.
