Spirulina is a spiral shaped green microalgae. One of the most nourishing superfoods known, it contains a host of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. As a source of high quality, easily digested vegetarian protein, Spirulina offers all essential amino acids along with a unique fatty acid known as GLA or Gamma linolenic acid, an anti-inflammatory compound found in mother’s milk. Its vibrant green color is due to the concentration of chlorophyll and the antioxidant phycocyanin.
