Love Yourself to Bits with ENERGYBits: Heart Health Benefits of Spirulina and Chlorella for Men and Women

February 01 2024, by Catharine Arnston, 8 min reading time

Cardiovascular health is critical to your overall well-being and longevity. It influences your physical health and also aspects of your mental, sexual, and reproductive health. In today’s fast-paced world, heart health is more important than ever. It’s not just about avoiding the cardiologist or staying alive; it’s also about maximizing our mojo. From our physical zip to our mental zing and, yes, even our sizzle in the sack.

Decades of studies have shown that nutrition is a key piece of cardiovascular health. A healthy heart and well-functioning blood vessels are essential for robust sexual health, giving a whole new meaning to “getting your heart racing.”

The benefits of algae, particularly spirulina and chlorella, are at the forefront. These algae are superfoods that are our allies in maintaining and improving heart health. For instance, they help manage blood lipid levels, improve blood sugar control, boost nitric oxide, and much more. In this article, we’ll cover the science behind this and why algae is the best way to love yourself this February.

Heart Healthy Benefits of Algae

Healthy blood lipids

Maintaining healthy levels of blood lipids, such as cholesterol and triglycerides, is crucial for cardiovascular health. High levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides lead to the buildup of plaques in arteries. This increases the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Imagine your blood vessels are like a freeway in Los Angeles. Plaque build-up is like rush hour traffic. The last thing you want is a traffic jam. This would slow down the flow of blood to all areas of your body, including those that spice up your love life.

Algae tablets are very beneficial for blood lipids. Research indicates that these algae reduce LDL cholesterol and triglycerides while boosting good cholesterol (HDL). <1> Algae also reduce inflammation and arterial stiffness, <2> making sure it is smooth sailing for the blood to reach wherever it is needed. <3>, <4>, <5>, <6>

Healthy blood sugar control and weight

Heart health is also tied to blood sugar control and weight management. High blood sugar levels and obesity are risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Algae tablets are wonderful at promoting healthy blood sugar control and reversing some of the damage from occasional indulgences <7>.

By supporting energy production and feeding a lean microbiome, spirulina and chlorella can promote a healthy metabolism. This encourages effective energy production both from your fat stores and food <8>, <9>. This means you’ll be less likely to store away the extra calories.

Nitric oxide and blood pressure

Nitric oxide is a key molecule in relaxing blood vessel walls, which in turn can promote healthy blood pressure levels and blood flow. The blood vessel relaxation helps with:

Blood pressure control
Reducing undue stress on the heart
Sexual functions
Physical energy and endurance

The biggest source of nitric oxide in food is vegetables. The problem is that less than 10% of Americans get enough vegetables daily. This may explain why so many people have suboptimal levels of nitric oxide and thus high blood pressure.

Just as they provide numerous other nutrients available from vegetables, algae tablets, especially spirulina, are an excellent source of nitric oxide <10>, <11>

Men’s Health Benefits of Chlorella and Spirulina

Increase testosterone

Testosterone is crucial for health and well-being in both genders, although it’s even more important for men’s health. It influences everything from muscle mass and bone density to libido and mood. As you age, maintaining optimal testosterone levels is crucial. Algae tablets are your cheerleaders for healthy testosterone levels.

Producing testosterone requires many micronutrients abundant in our algae tablets, such as zinc and magnesium. Numerous animal studies suggest that spirulina and chlorella can support healthy testosterone levels, especially in aging and less-than-ideal conditions <12>, <13>.

Improve libido

Libido, or sexual desire, is an important aspect of health and quality of life. Factors like stress, poor diet, and hormonal imbalances can really impact libido. Algae tablets can naturally support libido by <14>:

Improving stress resilience
Providing micronutrients that support hormonal health
Providing food-based nitric oxide
Supporting healthy testosterone levels
Helping with energy levels
Protecting cells from oxidative stress

After all, libido and fertility are key measures of health. Spirulina and chlorella can work as an aphrodisiac by boosting your health and reversing your cellular age, with no virtually no side effects.

Protect sperm and testicles from oxidative stress

Lifestyle-related oxidative stress can reduce fertility in both genders. It can destroy sperm quality, testicular health, and egg health. As we age, our sperms or eggs accumulate oxidative damage to their DNA, and their capacity for self-repair decreases. This explains normal age-related declines in fertility <15>, <16>, <17>.

Phycocyanin, chlorophyll, and other plant-based antioxidants in algae tablets help neutralize these harmful oxidative species. This protects sperm, testicles, and eggs from oxidative stress. Studies have indicated that the properties of these algae contribute to improved sperm quality and reproductive health in men. <18>, <19>

Women’s Health Benefits of Chlorella and Spirulina

Support healthy hormone balance

Hormonal balance is a cornerstone of women’s health. Hormones influence everything from menstrual cycles to mood and vitality. Two of the major drivers of women’s hormonal problems nowadays include:

Suboptimal nutrient levels
Exposure to and poor detoxification of estrogen-like substances in our environment
Poor blood sugar control
Excess inflammation from diet and lifestyle choices

Chlorella and spirulina help with women’s hormone balances by addressing many of these root causes, such as:

Providing bioavailable micronutrients and amino acids in the perfect natural balance
Acting like binders and fibers, and may be able to support the detoxification of estrogen-like chemicals that everyone is exposed to <20>
Supporting healthy blood sugar control <21>
Providing a source of gamma-linoleic acid, a fatty acid that supports inflammation balance for menstrual health <22>

Support fertility and pregnancy

Nutrition plays a critical role in fertility and the course of pregnancy. Spirulina and chlorella offer a spectrum of nutrients vital for reproductive health, such as folate, iron, and omega-3 fatty acids.

Folate is essential in pregnancy for preventing neural tube defects in the developing fetus. Crucially, folic acid, a synthetic form of folate, is the most commonly fortified and supplemented form <23>. Yet, many people cannot activate folic acid, which may cause folate deficiency and excess folic acid. If you genetically have bad folic acid conversion, the safest source of folate to consume is from foods, such as algae tablets. Whole food folate is what your body recognizes and can readily activate.

Protein and iron are also essential for both the mother’s and baby’s health. As plant-based protein sources and bioavailable iron, algae tablets are powerful nutritional support for healthy babymaking.

Oxidative stress is perhaps the biggest obstacle to pregnancy. As natural sources of antioxidants, spirulina, and chlorella help protect the DNA in your eggs, which may improve your chances of conception and pregnancy <24>.
