What is spirulina?
Originally consumed by the ancient Aztecs, spirulina thrives in both fresh and salt water. It is a type of cyanobacteria, a family of single-celled microbes called blue-green algae. Like plants, it can produce energy from sunlight via photosynthesis. In addition to a healthy dose of vitamin A, spirulina contains protein, B vitamins, copper, iron, magnesium, potassium, and manganese, along with small amounts of virtually every other nutrient you need for optimal health… all from nature!
