Overview
Spirulina (arthrospira platensis) is a genus of
blue-green algae. The most commonly cultivated species are S.maxima
and S.platensis. Spirulina is a spiral shaped single cell
organism that closely resembles a bacterium. Due to its high
chlorophyll content, Spirulina typically turns the lakes and ponds
it grows in a dark blue green. Blue green algaes are believed to
be one of the first living organisms on the earth and may have
existed as long as 3.6 billion years ago. It is speculated that
algaes may have helped produce the oxygen in the atmosphere
allowing all other life on earth to evolve. Spirulina is usually
grown in brackish water and in non-fertile land that cannot be
used by other crops. Spirulina can produce 20 times more protein
per acre than soybeans. It is a concentrated source of many
nutrients including: predigested proteins, amino acids,
chlorophyll, essential fatty acids (most notably gamma-linolenic
acid or GLA), and several vitamins (Vitamin A, Beta-Carotene,
Vitamin E and the B complex vitamins, most notably Vitamin B12).
Our Spirulina 500 mg is available in 100 vegetarian tablets.
