Spirulina

Spirulina is a species of blue-green algae that has garnered a lot of attention as a super-food with a whole host of health-improving benefits. Spirulina is rich in nutrients such as protein, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Typical uses for this powerful nutrient include:

• Boosting immune system function
• Combating premature aging
• Protecting against allergic reactions
• Antiviral and anti-cancer properties

Spirulina is an effective nutrient on its own, although it is often included in other health-boosting formulas accompanied by other “green” super-foods such as barley grass and chlorella.
