Everything you need to know about the beneficial effects of algae
Due to their exceptional properties, algae suitable for human consumption are increasingly popular ingredients in various dietary supplements.
Spirulina and Chlorella are the best known and also the most popular types of microalgae, they contain a lot of useful substances for the body. The two algae are also effective separately, but by consuming them together, we can achieve even better results, since through the combination of their unique mechanisms of action, we can contribute more to the enhancement and maintenance of health, beauty and energy.
In our article, you can find out why the consumption of algae is beneficial, and to whom we recommend PANHELLEN ALGA+ our product.
Natural source of vitamins, minerals and nutrients
Based on the research results, it can be said that among our foods, algae (especially Spirulina and Chlorella) have the highest mineral, vitamin and nutrient content. Algae contain vital and indispensable micro- and macronutrients for the body in a natural, well-utilized and easily absorbed form.
Energy increase, health care, beauty care
Algae can be considered an excellent source of B vitamins, which group of vitamins regulates carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism (thus energy production). In addition, it contributes to the proper functioning of the nervous system, as well as the health of the skin, eyes and hair.
Algae contain iron, magnesium, calcium, zinc, selenium, potassium, which can be used to great effect, but they also contain a number of important coloring substances (carotenoid compounds). Due to their antioxidant effect, carotenoids (e.g. alpha- and beta-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, phycocyanin) can contribute to the proper functioning of the immune system, allergy treatment, blood formation, regeneration after training, speeding up the healing of injuries and wounds, as well as reducing inflammation and to reduce the risk of developing cataracts
Vegan protein source
Due to their protein content, algae can be present as an excellent source of protein in a strict vegetarian or vegan diet. They are not complete in terms of their amino acid composition; the amount of methionine and lysine in Spirulina and methionine in Chlorella is insufficient. However, keeping this small shortcoming in mind, it can be an excellent addition to a lifestyle free of animal products.
Indirect performance enhancement, helping constructive processes
Sports performance cannot be directly (directly) increased by using algae, but through the many positive effects of Spirulina and Chlorella algae, we can indirectly contribute to increasing performance, reducing fatigue and delaying exhaustion.
Through their role in hematopoiesis, they increase the production of red blood cells. All this is shown in the improved tissue oxygen supply and increased metabolism, which can play a big role in the building processes.
Weight loss, weight loss support
The main cause of obesity is the improper functioning of the endocrine system resulting from an improper nutritional imbalance. The resulting carbohydrate cravings can be reduced by regular intake of the micronutrients found in the balanced Spirulina - Chlorella algae formula.
In addition to restoring the nutritional imbalance, Spirulina alga can also contribute to weight loss and body fat reduction by introducing GLA into the body. GLA is an essential fatty acid that helps regulate blood sugar and insulin. Through GLA, Spirulina contributes to a more even blood sugar level, as a result of which the feeling of hunger appears later. In addition, due to its protein content, Spirulina delays the feeling of hypoglycemic hunger.
Prebiotic effect
Several studies on Spirulina have proven that it exhibits properties typical of prebiotics. (Prebiotics are non-digestible food ingredients that promote the growth and functioning of beneficial probiotics in the large intestine.) Due to its prebiotic effect , Spriulina can help maintain healthy intestinal flora , thereby also contributing to strengthening the immune system.

It is an excellent source of protein and is entirely of plant origin, so it can be an ideal food supplement for those following a vegetarian or vegan diet. Since Spirulina and Chlorella algae can indirectly contribute to performance enhancement, reduction of fatigue and delay of exhaustion, they are also a particularly useful source of vitamins, minerals and nutrients for athletes. In addition, algae can play a significant role in preserving health and beauty (hair, skin, nails), in weight loss, and have a prebiotic effect. Overall, their consumption can be beneficial for people of all ages.
