December of 2003 was quite reminiscent of the legend of the three wisemen who travelled from the East to the Orient bearing gifts about 2000 years ago. You see, on December 3 in 2003 a king came to visit us. The king of the Nigerian Igbo people (translates into "heart"), his majesty Ennemike Echemazu Emeka called upon us, and he was bearing a royal gift: the very precious Akelu seeds.
In Africa the Akelu seeds are also known as "The Jewel of the Igbo" and is believed to provide energy and regarded as a gift from God. Akelu seeds are commonly given as a gift on ritual occasions. Many tales and experiences have turned the precious Akelu seed into a legendary natural gift.
The Akelu seed is indigenous to Nigeria, where it grows in so-called fruit pods on trees about 10 to 15 metres tall. The fruit itself looks a bit like a large, green nut. This nut has the Akelu seeds in it. Mother Nature has provided this seed with a great multitude of interesting substances that we warmly recommend for the chilly autumn and winter months.
Akelu comprises, for instance, the secondary vegetable substances of polyphenol and flavonoids. They are believed to enhance the immune system, which is an important subject particularly relevant in the cold season. Polyphenol and flavonoids can also boost the blood circulation. These important reasons inspired us to use Akelu seeds to refine our Spiruleta turning it into "Royal Spiruleta". After all, how are the 4058 vital nutrients of spirulina transported to the body's cells? Right! Via the bloodstream.
By the way: By combining spirulina with Akelu seeds we have created a world novelty that is only available through Natura Vitalis.
