What is spirulina? Well, spirulina are spiral-shaped, blue-green, fresh water algae that have been dried and used for centuries as a food. Recently, spirulina powder has gained a reputation for being one of the best nutritional super food supplements available.
Spirulina is naturally sterile and it retains its nutritional value even when processed and stored at high temperatures. In addition to being a highly nutritious food, spirulina health benefits include reducing the severity of strokes, improving recovery after strokes, reversing age-related memory and learning ability declines, and reducing hay fever symptoms. Among other benefits of spirulina, some people have even successfully used spirulina for autism symptoms.
Spirulina algae are plentiful in many easily-assimilated vitamins and minerals, and they are especially high in Vitamin B-12 and beta-carotene. Spirulina is also rich in easily digestible protein that is especially well-balanced in terms of its amino acid content. In fact, it is such a complete food that it is often used in spirulina fasting.
The recommended dosage of our high-quality spirulina powder supplement is about one teaspoonful per day for adults, and about half that for children. No significant spirulina side effects have been reported within normal dosage ranges.
