Spirulina

What is spirulina powder? Spirulina is a powder produced from a water-based organism that appears blue in color, even though it uses sunlight to produce energy like green plants do. Spirulina powder is a popular “superfood” taken in capsule form or added directly to smoothies, yogurt, soups, and other foods and beverages. Spirulina powder is a rich source of calcium iron, protein, essential fatty acids, B vitamins, trace minerals, carotenoids, and other antioxidants.

The plant’s chemical makeup is 65% amino acids, including the essential fatty acid gamma linolenic acid (GLA). The high concentration of amino acids has made spirulina a popular nutritional supplement for those who are unable to obtain sufficient calories and protein through diet alone, particularly athletes who burn calories at a high rate. In addition to amino acids, spirulina is also a rich source of numerous other nutrients, including many essential vitamins and minerals. Research into the medical benefits of spirulina is ongoing, but there is no doubt about its nutritional benefits.
