What exactly Is Spirulina?
Spirulina is an almost microscopic fresh water plant. An aquatic micro-vegetable / organism composed of transparent bubble-thin cells stacked end-to-end forming a helical spiral filament. Spirulina's green colour comes from an abundance of the plant pigments chlorophyll and beta-carotene.
Spirulina's history
For centuries Mexicans have consumed Spirulina and it was used as a food during the Aztec civilisation. It has also historically been used among the people of the Lake Chad area in Central Africa. In the past 20 years Spirulina has been consumed in nearly 70 countries. Spirulina's long history as a food and many years of scientific research confirm it to be a very safe food.
Why take Spirulina?
Spirulina is the most nutritious, concentrated whole food known to humankind and its concentrated nutrition makes it an ideal food supplement for people of all ages and lifestyles.

Spirulina supplies nutrients that are lacking in most of our diets. It has antioxidant and anti-aging properties; it provides athletes with long-lasting energy and reduces recovery time; nourishes people who have digestive, assimilation and elimination problems; satisfies the appetite as it provides essential nutrients to weight watchers; and helps busy people who don't have time for regular, balanced meals to nourish themselves.
Spirulina is an excellent food during pregnancy.
