Spirulina Powder
Country of origin: China
Like Chlorella, Spirulina is a single-cell green algae and is grown in outdoor pools under warm sunlight on a secluded island in the South China Sea. It has been well researched as a true whole food because of its comprehensive nutritional profile, and ability to synthesise Vitamin B12 without being of animal origin.
A single serving of Spirulina naturally contains 6800% of your daily reference intake for B12, as well as being a good source of protein which is vital for muscle growth and maintenance. Spirulina is also a fantastic source of Iron which supports the normal function of your immune system as well as normal oxygen transport in the blood. Spirulina is also high in Magnesium which support the normal functioning of the nervous system. Enjoy as a part of a healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet.
