I have been wanting to mention spirulina for ages, and finally found the time. We've been using it for the past year or so, and the health benefits are remarkable. I like to add it to our green juice in the mornings, which turns it a deep, mossy green colour... beautiful!Spirulina contains an astounding array of nutrients, including chlorophyll, protein, vitamins, major minerals, trace minerals, essential fatty acids, nucleic acids (RNS and DNA), polysaccharides, and a vast spectrum of antioxidants.
It is an algae superfood that consists of 65 - 71 percent protein (the highest concentration of protein found in any food), and is a complete protein source. it contains all 8 essential amino acids, and 18 amino acids in total.

Wow! That's quite a rap for the humble, slightly fishy-smelling powder. Where it is harvested matters, so please try and source the best that your budget allows.
So do something amazing for your health and your body today, and invest in a good quality brand.
Spirulina powder definitely has a significant effect on our body, particularly if taken daily. With its enormous amount of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, it can be considered a super food. A lot of people use it on their daily drinks and meals. In fact, others have found a way to use it as an ingredient for soap, face mask and other beauty products. ->Erlinda Lilly
ReplyDeleteHi Angela! I'm actually looking for a good brand of spirulina so I might give this a try. If not too much, can you say more on how spirulina benefits? :)
