Spirulina is a Nutrient-dense superfood that has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, it contains a powerful plant-based protein called phycocyanin.
Spirulina has many benefits:
– Good for your brain, it gives you natural energy because of the nutrients it is giving your body, naturally giving you a clear mind and better brain function to get you through the day!
– It is an amazing natural product that provides an amazing amount of critical nutrients and bioactive compounds, especially if you are vegan or vegetarian and don’t consume animal protein.
– Spirulina contains more than 60% easily digestible and available proteins, including all essential amino acids, which again makes it the ideal plant-based protein for a vegan diet.
– One of these proteins is the natural blue pigment phycocyanin that has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties.
– Spirulina also contains the green pigment chlorophyll and more of the red-orange pigment beta-carotene than even carrots. Beta-carotene is an anti-oxidant and safe precursor of vitamin A because there is no risk of overdose.
– No other food contains higher amounts of iron and is as easy for your body to assimilate. This is critical because iron deficiency is common, especially in children and pregnant women and those on a vegan/vegetarian diet.
– Spirulina contains numerous minerals (magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, calcium, etc.) and vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B9, E, and K) that are critical to proper body functions.

One of the best things I started including into my weekly routine was a green smoothie a day! I now have a Spirulina Superfoods every day with protein and it keeps me going all morning! I can not believe the change in my mood and my energy, not to mention the difference it has made from what I was having for breakfast beforehand. I am no longer snacking on chips and a can of coke at my desk at morning tea time and this has been life-changing all in one month of making a healthy switch!
