Weight Loss and Glyconutrients

Recently, scientists coined a new specialization in medicine, nutrition and biology, called glycobiology, which is based on the scientifically proven fact that the human body only needs 8 essential sugars in order to maintain and support life activities. If we were to give a more exact definition to this science,

Glycobiology is the study of the structure, biosynthesis, and biology of saccharides (sugar chains or glycans) that are widely distributed in nature. Sugars or saccharides are essential components of all living things and aspects of the various different roles they play in biology are researched in various different medical, biochemical and biotechnological fields.

Spirulina in Losing Weight

Spirulin, or Spirulina (as it is most known) is an extract from two blue-green algae, Arthrospira platensis, and Arthrospira maxima. It is used by humans worldwide as a food supplement. Spirulina is rich in proteins, but it has less methionine, cysteine and lysine than animal proteins such as meat, eggs or milk. This nutritional supplement is also rich in fatty acids, especially in gamma-linolenic acid.

Spirulina, Weight Loss, Health Improvement

There were some studies done on humans, which showed that spirulina has positive effects on melanosis and keratosis due to chronic arsenic poisoning. Other research proved that spirulina helps undernourished children to gain weight and get rid of anemia. In ordinary people, a study done in 2007 proved that spirulina has the property to lower the total cholesterol levels, while increasing the HDL cholesterol (which is the “good” one), to lower triglycerides and to lower blood pressure.

A popular belief is that if one takes a spirulina tablet before the meals, this would lead to an appetite decrease, thus generating a weight-loss effect on long term. If spirulina is taken after the meals, it has the property to increase appetite, thus helping people eat more and gain weight. There are no studies on this relationship between spirulina and weight loss, but as it is beneficial anyway, anybody needing to get rid of some extra pounds can take it for one month and see if it works or not.

As far as I’m concerned, I’ve seen some slight loss of weight during the two months I’ve taken spirulina, but nothing revolutionary. Recently, I’ve discovered another product from the sea, the Pure Marine Phytoplankton. It managed to cut my appetite, therefore I felt less cravings and I ate less, thus being able to lose some weight without starving.

Nonetheless, the biggest gain was that I felt better, more energized, and I needed less sleep when taking these food supplements based on marine phytoplankton. If any of you is interested in trying the phytoplankton, there’s this promotion ongoing: Buy (3) Bottles of Marine Phytoplankton and Save $30.00.
