Spirulina is a blue green algae that springs from water. It is very high in proteins, B complex vitamins and iron. It also contains antioxidants, chlorophyll, beta –carotene and other nutrients. You can find them in most health stores around the world in capsules or powder forms.
Spirulina offers health benefits to almost every organ in the body. It is good for allergies and also removes toxins. It is an anti inflammatory and is excellent for boosting the immune system.
It is a great source for vegans and pregnant ladies because of its high content of protein and iron. It is also incredibly high in calcium which makes it ideal for children as well.
I like to add a teaspoon of Spirulina powder to my smoothies or parfaits. I also add it to my overnight oats sometimes. If you have never tried it before I suggest you start with maybe a quarter of a teaspoon and build your way up because Spirulina does have a taste to it that needs some getting used to :)
So interesting
