IIMSAM Mexico

The Fmr. First Lady of the State of Chiapas, Mexico & President of the Chiapas-Chapter of the Mexican National Agency (National System for Integral Family Development (DIF) Isabel Aguilera de Sabines signed the Agreement between the DIF and the Intergovernmental Institution for the Use of Microalgae Spirulina Against Malnutrition (IIMSAM) to combat malnutrition on an unprecedented scale in Chiapas using Spirulina Platensis as a food fortifier in the form of a cookie, soup power containing 3 grams of spirulina sufficient for a daily intake.

The FMR. FIRST-LADY OF CHIAPAS MS. DE SABINES STATED: “I thank IIMSAM by this agreement, they have advised us to fight malnutrition in Chiapas,” said Isabel Aguilera de Sabines, president of DIF Chiapas “I invite all the children, who are experts in the use of internet, to seek the benefits of algae “Spirulina Max,” to know and see which has better meat proteins, vitamins and minerals that are essential for development, especially mentally, “she said. The use of Spirulina is recommended to combat malnutrition and sustainable development by the Organization of the United Nations through the IIMSAM, because it contains more digestible protein than meat or soya, minerals (potassium, calcium, zinc, magnesium, manganese, selenium, iron and phosphorus) as well as vitamins (the entire complex of B vitamins, and vitamin E). Therefore, in Chiapas this super food has been included in our daily meals food programs as a fortifier that is provided to children, and pregnant women to combat malnutrition.” (Edited-translation from Spanish version.)
