What Makes Spirulina So Powerful?

With the release of two new Laszlo Blue Firmarine products, you may well be wondering why Spirulina is such an effective part any skin care routine. The answer lies in the fact that it is a powerhouse nutrient that delivers firming benefits, as well as anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties for overall skin health. Some of the most important but rarely discussed nutrients Spirulina provides are Beta Carotene, GLA, and Protein.

Beta Carotene
The beta carotene that is contained in Spirulina is ten times more concentrated than it is in a carrot, which means that it can do wonders for your skin. This nutrient helps to block UVA radiation, which can damage your skin by causing aging, DNA damage, and an incresed risk of malignant melanomas. Furthermore, it encourages new skin growth, and helps to heal skin lesions caused by acne. Finally, as it is an antioxidant, it helps to protect your skin aganist free radicals, while fighting the bacteria that can cause acne in the first place.
Protein
Protein is not one specific substance, but rather tens of thousands of different compounds with unique combinations of its building blocks - amino acids. Collagen, the structural tissue that is responsible for keeping skin firm, is actually a type of fibrous protein. Spirulina itself is over 60% protein, and can help supplement the collagen in your skin and stimulate new growth. This helps your skin to stay firm and younger looking for quite a long time.
GLA
GLA, or Gamma-linolenic acid, has been known to help children with eczema, better skin conditions in women, and improve skin function in the elderly. In fact, in a German study, patients with red, irritated skin who were provided GLA were shown to have greatly improved in a span on 12 weeks. Furthermore, women with sensitive and irritiable skin who were provided GLA were shown to have vastly improved skin barrier function a mere six weeks in their studies. The improvements only continued throughout the final 18 weeks of the study.

And, of course, Laszlo Blue Firmarine products also contain Vitamin C and E providing long lasting antioxidant protection. Also, Glycerin, Soribtol and Palm Kernel to help hydration and retain moisture by binding water to the skin. Rest assured that with Laszlo Blue Firmarine and Spirulina Maxima, your skin will never feel softer or look younger.
