Spirulina,” health promoter “
The microalgae Spirulina is a highly nutritious cyanobacterium, considered by many as “the food of the future” due to its extensive list of nutritional benefits, being classified as a health promoting food by both the World Organization of Health and the United Nations.
A bluish-green superfood, whose color comes from the combination of phytonutrients such as beta-carotene (orange), chlorophyll (green) and phycocyanin (blue), which are not only natural pigments but powerful antioxidants that preserve the body and fight against free radicals, presenting many health benefits.
Its high protein content (more than 60%) as well as the presence of vitamins such as B12 (generally of animal origin) make Spirulina even more special within the plant kingdom, and makes it a powerful alternative for vegetarian or vegan diets.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_toggle title=”Source of essential nutrients” custom_font_container=”tag:p|text_align:left|color:%23000000″ custom_google_fonts=”font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:600%20bold%20regular%3A600%3Anormal” use_custom_heading=”true”]
