MUCO-POLYSACCHARIDES These are a combination of complex and simple sugars which appear to stimulate the body's repair mechanisms. Enhancing these mechanisms is important, because the body is constantly repairing and replacing damaged cells. If you can do this better, it means you will 'age' better. Muco-polysaccharides appear to have a particular affinity to help repair damaged heart and artery tissue. Spirulina also contains muco-polysaccharides, by the way; it is these which form the cell walls of spirulina, rather than the much tougher cellulose, which normally forms the cell walls of plants. CHLOROPHYLL Chlorophyll is the remarkable substance to which we all owe our lives. This is because chlorophyll has the ability to capture the sun's energy and lock it into plants in such a way that we can use it to sustain our own lives. Chemically, chlorophyll is almost identical to haemoglobin - the substance which transports oxygen from the Lungs to the tissues of the body. Out of about 50 atoms in the compound, only two are different. The main difference is that at the centre of chlorophyll there is a magnesium ion; whereas haemoglobin has iron in the same place. The action of chlorophyll is so important, that two Nobel prizes were awarded for research on the compound. Chlorophyll's health properties were observed as early as 1950, when Offen Krantz reported the healing of long standing peptic ulcers after the application of chlorophyll. The benefits of chlorophyll fall into three main categories, purifying, anti-inflammatory, and renewal.
