Like many other health conscious people around today its quite possible that you have never heard of spirulina, let alone tasted it, so what exactly is it and why is it fast becoming the number one health supplement in the world?
Spirulina is basically an algae. It is grown in commercial tanks and is then usually freeze dried or manufactured into spirulina capsules or spirulina tablets before being distributed to health food companies.
Spirulina has an amazingly high chlorophyll content, as much as 70% in fact, and it is the large volume of chlorophyll that gives it the deep green/blue colour it is famous for. In fact Nestle have begun using spirulina as a natural colouring agent for their blue smarties, which was dropped in 2006 until recently due to the chemical colourings they previously used. (Nestle introduced natural colours and flavours across their entire range due to health concerns over the chemicals used)
Spirulina is also abundant with antioxidants, which can help prevent free radical damage in our bodies.
Spirulina is also packed with vitamins and minerals including vitamin B12, C and E aswell as many other vital nutrients our bodies require to function properly. In fact the list of health benefits are just far too numerous to mention here so why not visit our website for more information on spirulina and the benefits we can all achieve from using it.
