Spirulina

Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) is a nutrient rich blue-green algae that is a good source of protein, essential amino acids, E, C, and B vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, zinc, iron, copper, and selenium. Spirulina contains powerful antioxidants that have anti-Inflammatory and immune boosting qualities. Spirulina can help regulate blood pressure, lower cholesterol levels, and improve blood sugar levels. It is a good source of iron and may provide relief to people with anemia. The anti-inflammatory effects caused by Spirulina's antioxidants can have a positive effect on allergy symptoms, such as sneezing and congestion, and help reduce histamine production. Spirulina is concentrated with zeaxanthin, a plant pigment that may reduce the risk of cataracts and age-related vision loss. Its antibacterial properties promote good oral health and can reduce dental plaque and gingivitis. Spirulina's chlorophyll content helps remove heavy metals and toxins from the body.
