Organic Spirulina
Spirulina, or organic Spirulina, is a nutritional supplement that is made from two different types of cyanobacteria: Arthrospira platensis and Arthrospira maxima. These organic forms of bacteria are cultivated using high quality and safety standards as a dietary supplement for both humans and animals.
Organic Spirulina consists of free- floating cyanonacteria that is naturally found in tropical lakes where there is a high supply of pH and adequate carbonates and bicarbonates concentrations in the water. Organic Spirulina is a fresh water plant and has become a staple food of some African cultures as well as Mexican cultures too.
History and Origin
Spirulina is a food source used by many South and Central American natives. Neither the therapeutic benefits of Spirulina nor the cultivation of this dietary supplement, were not done until more recent years.
Ancient Uses
The Aztecs and the Mesoamericans used Spirulina as a common food source and harvested most of their supply from Lake Texcoco. They were then made into cakes and that were called Tecuitlatl which means 'Stone's Excrement'.
In the African country of Chad, the history of Spirulina dates back as early as the 9th century during the Kanem Empire when they dried these into cakes and were added to broth and eaten as side dish for their main meals.
Modern Uses
The first commercially produced plant for Organic Spirulina was run by Sosa Texcoco that made this dietary supplement more readily available for anybody who wanted to reap its therapeutic benefits.
The use of algae-food supplements were first developed in the 20th century and this is due to the results of studies that led to the conclusion that Organic Spirulina contains 55% to 77% protein in dry weight. It contains essential amino acids which are comparable to eggs and milk. Organic Spirulina contains nutrients that are essential for overall body growth and development. This food supplement contains high levels of Vitamin E that is needed for skin and immune system health.
Organic Spirulina is recommended for people who tire quite easily and have very stressful lives. This can significantly increase the health of the immune system increasing your resistance to many types of diseases and illnesses. It is a perfect source of high quality protein that is great for people who are sports and fitness enthusiasts, for those on a diet and also to promote health and development in children.
Organic Spirulina preparations are available in tablet form, powdered form and also as a supplement for cats, dogs and horses, as well as other types of animals and pets.
Side Effects
There are no notable side effects of Organic Spirulina and many who have used this dietary supplement for boosting their immune system health have had great results. Eating Organic Spirulina and adding it into your daily diet regimen can increase your daily quality protein intake for tissue repair.
If you wish to take Organic Spirulina to treat a particular ailment, then it is recommended that you first discuss Spirulina with your doctor regarding the right dose for you. It may also cause adverse drug reactions when taken together with your current medications, so be sure to discuss any contraindications. Talk to your doctor first before adding Organic Spirulina into your diet if you are pregnant or breastfeeding as well.

If possible, could players be given the option of training (ie hitting the nets etc.) to improve their stats? It could be done as follows...
If a player is not training, everything is done as normal.
If a player is in training, every day they DON'T play a FC/A-List game (including days where no game is played for that team), they are given one day of training.
During this day, they can improve their ratings/simming stats by a certain amount in either batting or bowling.
During this day, they also increase their chances of getting injured by a certain amount.
I don't think this could be done for fielding due to the fact that fielding changes in multiples of 3 and therefore can't have very small changes like batting/bowling can have (eg. 0.1 run increase on batting).
If a player is injured, they can't train anymore.
What the amounts would be is what would be the main debate. It could be 0.2 improvement in batting / bowling simming stats for double the chance of injury or something... dunno. But that would be ideal, really. If you were sitting out for 10 games, you could add a couple of runs to your average via long days in the nets.
The catch is activity - some players are inactive in this place and shouldn't really be given an advantage. For this reason, I'd suggest making a thread where the player has to 'sign in' for his training every day he's not played.
This is all very early days in the idea, so a huge amount could be worked on, but I think the idea of injury-risk-for-training is the best idea I've heard so far as to how we can allow for players to improve their play, and it also allows for those who sign up with poor stats to improve instead of just sitting on the sidelines in every game.
