Good source of protein and amino acids.
Spirulina (arthrospira) is a blue-green algae found in alkaline ponds around the world. It does not have a hard cell wall making it harder to digest, but a soft, easily digested cell wall made of a mucopolysaccharide.
Spirulina is the best vegetable protein source, with a protein content of over 65%, higher than any other natural food. 3-10 grams a day delivers impressive amounts of beta carotene, vitamin B-12 and B-complex, essential trace minerals, phytonutrients and gamma-linoleic acid.
