About Spirulina

Spirulina is a fresh water blue-green algae superfood that has been consumed as a food for centuries. Ancient cultures in South America and Africa used spirulina for its amazing therapeutic properties and dense nutrient content. Recently spirulina has been termed the richest, most nutritious superfood known to man and a September 2005 issue of AARP Magazine listed spirulina as the number one food to add years to your life. 
  
Spirulina is arguably nature's most powerful green food. With over 60% protein content, besting red meat (~27% protein) and soy (~34% protein), Spirulina is the highest, most digestible source of "complete" protein. This ability of being easily digested and assimilated is due to spirulina's lack of cell wall.

Spirulina is also the source of several important phytonutrients like: Carotenoids, Essential Fatty Acids like Gamma Linolenic Acid; Vitamin B12 - not found in any other green food; trace minerals such as Iron, Magnesium, Calcium and Selenium; Sulpholipids and the antioxidant enzyme Superoxide dismutase (SOD) all of which are in a bio-available form.

Most remarkably spirulina is the highest source for phytopigments like Phycocyanin, Beta-carotene, Zeaxanthin and other plant pigments that define green foods like Chlorophyll, making spirulina the most cost effective of green foods.

Spirulina has many additional benefits which include protecting the brain and heart against oxidative damage, supporting a healthy immune system and supporting normal inflammatory response.
