Spirulina - the world's oldest and healthiest natural food you'll ever eat

Spirulina is an algae which is an excellent nutrition source that contains proteins, essential vitamins and phytonutrients such as beta carotene which is also known as an antioxidant. In fact spirulina contains 10 times the amount of beta carotene contained in carrots. It also contains an essential fatty acid known as GLA which has been shown in studies to be a powerful anti-inflammatory agent. Spirulina is sometimes referred to as a super green food - its deep green color coming primarily from the chlorophyll it contains.

Spirulina benefits

Spirulina has been in existence for almost as long as the existence of organic life on earth and was one of the first photosynthetic life forms that began producing oxygen. It's also one of the most heavily researched of all algae. It is a natural (non synthetic), aquatic grown, life sustaining substance with no known side effects. Since it is 100% natural it doesn't contain toxic chemicals or pollution of any kind as is often the case with processed foods. Some of its many benefits include:

  • The highest concentration of beta carotene of any food - 10 times greater than carrots
  • Has high concentration of proteins
  • Contains high amounts of B complex vitamins with high concentrations of vitamin B-12.
  • Natural cleanser due to its high chlorophyll content
  • Rich in iron, magnesium and trace minerals

Spirulina is easy to take any time and anywhere in either powder or compressed tablet form. Studies suggest that 3 to 10 grams a day would deliver significant health benefits. It mixes well with fruit smoothies for any time of the day and provides a good way to supplement while eating healthy.
