About SpirulinaEdible blue-green algae, Dietary supplement.Mechanism of Action of SpirulinaSpirulina exerts its action by being a richest food supplements. It is a good source of proteins (60 to 70%) and also contains vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, lipids, fibres, organic nitrogen, antioxidants, phycocyanobilin etc. The protein content of Spirulina is 85 to 95% digestible. Fat content (5 to 7%) of Spirulina is in the form of essential fatty acids in the form of linolenic acid and gamma linolenic acid.
Gamma linolenic acid elevates HDL levels and improves fatty acid profile and act as a precursor of PGE1 which prevents platelet aggregation in blood vessels and also controls inflammations. It is a richest source of anti oxidants like superoxide dumatase enzyme and beta-carotene. It also contains high concentrations of B complex vitamins. Phycocyanobilin which is a linear tetrapyrrole related to haem forms Phycocyanin which forms soluble complexes with iron and other minerals and is in an easily absorbable form.

About Folic AcidDietary supplement, Folate derivative( B9 ), Water Soluble Vitamin.Mechanism of Action of Folic AcidFolic acid reduced by enzymes folate reductase and dihydrofolate reductase and forms dihydrofolic acid tetrahydrofolic acid respectively. Tetrahydrofolic acid acts as a coenzyme which mediates a number of one carbon transfer reactions by carrying a methyl group as an adduct. It involves a number of reactions such as 1).conversion of homocysteine to methionine. 2).synthesis of thymidylate which is an essential constituent of DNA from methylene-tetrahydrofolic acid. 3). Conversion of serine to glycine by tetrahydrofolic acid and forms methylene-tetrahydrofolic acid. 4).to introduce carbon units at position 2 and 8 during de novo purine synthesis requires formyl-tetrahydrofolic acid and methenyl-tetrahydrofolic acid.5).generation and utilization of "formate pool". 6).For mediating formino group transfer in histidine metabolism. Folic acid is required to maintain normal erythropoiesis and nucleoprotein synthesis.Pharmacokinets of Folic AcidAbsorption: Well absorbed orally
Distribution: Widely distributed in the body and highest concentration is seen in liver. It appears in the CSF and breast milk
Metabolism: Metabolized in to N-methyl tetrahydrofolic acid in liver
Excretion: Extra drug is excreted unchanged in urine. A small portion of folate is lost by a combination of urinary and fecal excretion and oxidative cleavage of molecule.
