Superfood Spirulina


Spirulina is typically considered to be one of the world's most powerful superfoods.Spirulina is 100% natural and a highly nutritious micro salt water plant. It has more protein than meat, fish, poultry, and soybeans. It has the most beta-carotene of any food, and it has a full spectrum of ten mixed carotenoids. 

It contains all eight essential amino acids, and no fewer than ten non-essential amino acids. It is also rich in iron, vitamins A, E, and B, potassium, enzymes, minerals, phytonutrients, and beneficial fatty acids like DHA and GLA.


Spirulina is probably one of the most well-known dietary supplements to be commonly called a “superfood”. This is surely justified considering how it can be a single point source for a wide variety of vitamins and nutrients.


Without any additional fortification spirulina in its natural form contains about60% protein, 12 different vitamins and at least 8 minerals that are essential for the body. These include B complex vitamins, beta-carotene, vitamin E, manganese, zinc, copper, iron, selenium, and gamma linolenic acid (an essential fatty acid). 


The protein in Spirulina can be considered as a complete protein as it contains all the essential amino acids like Histidine, Leucine, Lysine etc.
