Sure. For example, marigold or pot marigold (calendula). The active compounds found in marigold have the quality of stimulating blood circulation and speeding up the healing periods. Marigold flowers contain a bitter compound. They have healing, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and soothing effects. They provide a huge source of flavonoids, carotenoids, vitamin C, proteins , among others. The contained bio-flavonoids reduce the fragility of the capillary blood vessels as well.
Spirulina is another example. Spirulina is the richest beta carotene food, with a full spectrum of mixed carotenoids. About half are orange carotenes: alpha, beta and gamma and half are yellow xanthophylls. They work synergistically at different sites in our body to enhance antioxidant protection. Twenty years of research proves eating beta carotene rich fruits and vegetables gives us real anti-cancer protection. Synthetic beta carotene has not always shown these benefits. Research in Israel showed natural beta carotene from algae was far more effective. As suspected, natural carotenoids in algae and vegetables have the most antioxidant and anti-cancer power. Look at marine fish. They are some of the most colorful animals on the planet and many of them consume spirulina and other algae. spirulina's concentrated nutrient value, it is easily digested and loaded with antioxidants. Beta carotene is good for healthy eyes, skin and vision.
Spirulina beta carotene is ten times more concentrated than carrots.
Iron is essential to build a strong system, yet is the most common mineral deficiency. Spirulina is rich in iron, magnesium and trace minerals, and is easier to absorb than iron supplements.
Spirulina is the highest source of B-12, essential for healthy nerves and tissue, especially for vegetarians.
These are just a few examples. Thanks
