Spirulina

And there's something I think, in my opinion, obviously, it should be included in everybody's diet.

And so regardless of whether you're vegan or you're a meat eater or whatever, They should be in your diet, Cholera and Spirulina.

So I started, I found somebody on the internet that was selling these tablets and I would get bulk tablets and I started my own brand.

And it wasn't, I wasn't Dr.

What are they got? So they've been working on this for years.

And what they went with is a product called Spirulina, which is made from algae.

But Spirulina comes with a host of problems that they are now dealing with.

You know, Glu-1, which is the artificial dye, it arrives at the factories as a liquid.

And they just pour it into these mixers and they mix it up with this sugary syrup, and it's pretty easy to handle.

Spirulina arrives as a powder.

So now you're mixing a powder into this same mixture, into the same recipe, and that is very different.

Also, because it's a protein, the resulting mixture becomes a lot thicker.

There's one more peptide-rich category of foods I want to talk about, and people are somewhat familiar with this category, but still not talked about very often, and that's certain types of seaweed.

It could be spirulina, it could be chlorella, but these are foods that are incredibly rich in peptides as well.

What's really unique about spirulina chlorella, and you know this because I heard you speak on this first, Spirulina corolla really are more microbial in nature.

They're kind of in the family of bacteria, right, in terms of their properties, but also they are very rich in peptides.

Talk to us about these amazing blue-green algaes.

There used to be these green footsteps that you could walk and follow to get to the display.

People called it manna from heaven.

Spirulina and chlorella are very rich in proteins.

Yeah, so you can take it in a tablet or a pill or a powder or just add it to a smoothie, but it's called spirulina.

So I've actually told people, like, "Hey, if you wanna try to improve your eyesight, take spirulina as a supplement, eat lots of carrots, and that can improve your eyesight." And I've had people tell me that actually works.

Spirulina, spell that for me.

Uh, S-P-

S-P

It's not in my regimen at the moment.

Spirulina has a lot of benefits.

Very protein dense, very nutritionally dense.

Also in the dark leafy greens, I...

Then I found out that the United Nations has endorsed spirulina algae, which we'll talk about today.

For 50 years as the answer to world hunger because it has the highest protein in the world.

Spirulina has three times the amount of protein as steak, chicken, or fish.

There is nothing in the world with more protein than spirulina algae.

And we have a quote from NASA that says, one gram of algae has the same nutrition as a thousand grams of fruits and vegetables.

Because growing algae is very complex, especially chlorella.

And there's a whole chapter in my book about this.

Spirulina is a lot easier.

Yeah.

Spirulina's a, a funny product, man.

[laughs]

It's like... 'Cause it, it's not just green-
