Spirulina,a type of blue-green algae rich in protein, beta carotene, chlorophyll, anti-oxidant, minerals and other essential nutrients that our body need. It is different from most other algaesas it is easily digested and absorbed by the body. Besides,it is well-known as one of the best alkaline food,which helps to change weak acidic body condition to a healthy alkaline one
The blue green algae Spirulina is arguably nature''s most powerful green food. With over 60% protein content, Spirulina is the highest, most digestible source of "complete" protein
Spirulina is also the source of several important phytonutrients likeCarotenoids; Essential Fatty Acids like Gamma Linolenic Acid; trace minerals such as Iron, Magnesium, Calcium; Sulpholipids and the antioxidant enzyme Superoxide dismutase (SOD) all of which are in a bio-available form.
Most remarkably Spirulina is the highest source for phytopigments likePhycocyanin, Beta-carotene, Zeaxanthin and other plant pigments that define green foods like Chlorophyll.
Features of Spirulina

- Spirulina is alkaline and helps balance body''s pH
The U.N. Industrial Development Organization(UNIDO) commissioned a five-year toxicology study on Spirulina and found it to be a safe, nontoxic food, and in a separate study "recommended it as a potential solution to the world food crisis and global protein shortage".
NASA
has done extensive research into the use of algae as food for space travel, and chose Spirulina after beginning research with over 1,000 species of blue-green algae.
