🧬 How Nutrients from Spirulina Are Absorbed Into the Cells
Spirulina has no cellulose cell wall, making its nutrients highly bioavailable. Here’s how nutrient absorption works:
1️⃣ Ingestion
Spirulina is consumed as powder, capsule, tablet or mixed into drinks/foods.
2️⃣ Digestion
a. Begins in the mouth and continues in the stomach and small intestine.
b. Enzymes break down proteins, carbs, and fats into amino acids, sugars and fatty acids.
3️⃣Absorption in the Small Intestine
Villi and microvilli in the small intestine absorb:
a. Amino acids → absorbed into blood and sent to cells for protein synthesis.
b. Vitamins and minerals → enter bloodstream via active transport or diffusion.
c. Fat-soluble nutrients (A, E, K, etc.) → absorbed with dietary fat into lymph.
4️⃣Transport via Blood or Lymph
a. Nutrients travel through the portal vein to the liver, which regulates their release.
b. Others go through the lymphatic system before entering the bloodstream.
5️⃣Cellular Uptake
Cells use receptors and transport proteins to take in the nutrients they need.
Once inside:
a. Nutrients are used for energy (ATP) production.
b. Help build or repair tissues.
c. Support enzyme functions and hormone production.
