How it works

Spirulina is one of the richest food sources known to man. It is 65 percent protein by composition and contains the B vitamins, beta-carotene, gamma linoleic acid (GLA), iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese, potassium, zinc, and bioflavonoids. Spirulina is considered a complete protein since it contains all the essential amino acids.

Spirulina is actually a blue-green algae commonly found in ponds and lakes. It has been a valuable food source for Mexicans, Asians, and Africans for thousands of years. The World Health Organization used it to feed malnourished children in India.

Besides being a good food source, spirulina has been shown to be beneficial to your health. For example, it is high in gamma linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid the body uses to produce anti-inflammatory agents.
