Hydrilla, a fresh water vibrant green plant, is a nutrient powerhouse abundant in vitamins, minerals, trace minerals and several health-promoting food compounds.Research has shown populations that consume a diet rich in food compounds have an associated decreased risk of developing degenerative health conditions and improved health. This direct association is related to the vital roles food compounds exhibit in the body, including acting as potent antioxidants, immune stimulators and detoxifiers.
Hydrilla is far superior in almost every nutritive value when compared to other aquatic green foods. Based on average analysis, Hydrilla is superior in Calcium, Magnesium, Manganese, Potassium, Zinc, Copper, Vitamins B1, B2, B5, B6, B12, Vitamin C and Vitamin E. In addition, Hydrilla has an abundant source of the food compounds Beta-carotene and Chlorophyll, two colorful pigments responsible for Hydrillas bright and energizing green color. Beta-carotene and Chlorophyll both act as potent detoxifiers and antioxidants in the body. Interestingly, Chlorophyll has a molecular structure very similar to the molecular structure of the human red blood cell, and it is known to be an excellent natural blood builder.
Hydrilla is also rich in the antioxidant nutrients Selenium and Vitamin E, as well as GLA (Gamma Linolenic Acid), a vital fatty acid for optimal health. Another one of Hydrillas remarkable nutritional qualities is its high protein content: 50-60 percent, with all the essential amino acids including a high content of Lysine.
Hydrilla is a rooted macrophyte (aquatic plant), organically grown in pristine fresh-waters of the Southern United States. At first, the Department of Agriculture considered Hydrilla to be a problematic weed, and went to great lengths and cost to eradicate it. However, wherever it was eradicated, fish populations dramatically decreased. Once reintroduced, fish populations increased and were leaner and healthier. Since Hydrilla was a part of the fishs diet, scientists investigated the nutritional value of Hydrilla, and they were surprised at how nutrient dense it was.
