What Is Spirulina Powder?
Growing naturally in tropical climates, spirulina is a cyanobacterium (blue-green algae) and has been used as food for hundreds of years; some of the earliest known cultivators were the Aztecs, Mesoamericans grew spirulina in Lake Texcoco. It is also known to have been cultivated by ancient civilisations in Chad and throughout Asia.
The Positive Nutritional Content Of Spirulina
It contains about 60% protein and all essential amino acids. It is also a concentrated source of many vitamins and minerals necessary for a healthy immune system and daily nutrition.
As a concentrated source of protein, spirulina also contains the minerals calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus and zinc in significant quantities, and the vitamins A, C, E and vitamin K, making it an excellent all-around nutrition supplement.
The Natural Vitamin B Complex
Spirulina is a rich source of B-complex vitamins, especially thiamin and riboflavin, which play a significant role in helping the body to convert food efficiently into fuel and promote healthy skin and cognitive functionality.
B-complex vitamins keep the body healthy by fighting free radicals; free radicals are mutated cells which, left, can develop into more severe illnesses.
Spirulina’s Origins
Our spirulina is grown in Mongolia, away from industrial pollution in covered tanks; we have had relations with our supplier for nearly four years and have never had any quality issues; upon arrival in Europe, samples of each shipment for laboratory testing where it is tested for over 500 known pesticides and heavy metals, and there has never had a problem.
Safety Risks Associated With Spirulina
As with all protein-rich foods, spirulina contains the essential amino acid phenylalanine; this should be avoided by people who are known to have phenylketonuria, a rare genetic disorder, and spirulina should be avoided by those who carry it.
Spirulina contains naturally occurring sulphites.
