Spirulina is microscopic blue - green alga that is a single celled photosynthesising organism turning light into nutrients. This type of algae is one of the first forms of life to start the evolutionary paths of Earths life.
Spirulina has become one of the health food industries favourite super foods, but it has been eaten often in the North African diet for hundreds of years. Now many people take Spirulina as a nutritional supplement.
We supply Spirulina powder, and will very soon be selling tablets, capsules, and Spirulina health tonics.
Spirulina is almost a complete whole food, capable of supporting life as a standalone food.
Spirulina blue-green algae provides abundant supplies of vitamins, trace minerals, carbohydrates, amino acids and digestive enzymes. Spirulina powder has more protein in it than any other vegetable source (about 60%). It’s a complete vegetable protein, containing all essential amino acids, but it has lower levels of methionine, cysteine, and lysine, compared to dairy and meat sources.
Spirulina has an amazingly nutritious profile, containing; essential fatty acids, GLA fatty acid, nucleic acids (RNA and DNA), B complex group, vitamin C and E and many phytonutrients such as carotenoids, chlorophyll (blood alkalyser), and phycocyanin (a blue pigment), which is a protein that is known to act as an anti oxidant and makes it look a blue green colour
Health benefits of Spirulina.
The health benefits of taking Spirulina are far reaching because of the massive spectrum of nutrients found in it. Taking a rich nutrient as part of a balanced diet can benefit the body’s natural balance.
Kind to the Environment
Because Spirulina is so sensitive to pesticides and chemicals, it can only be grown in pure naturally balanced water. It also absorbs vast amounts of carbon dioxide as it photosynthesises.
