Over the last few years, spirulina has gained its reputation as a superfood. It is considered as the highest naturally occurring sources of protein.
Spirulina is a type of bacteria called cyanobacterium, which is often referred to as blue-green algae (a name you’re much more likely to have heard of), and it can benefit your body and health in an almost mind-boggling number of ways.
Unlike animal proteins, plant-based protein does not form uric acid in the body. The hype of this blue-green algae is due to the various nutrients such as rare trace elements, biologically active enzymes, amino acids, essential fatty acids, chlorophyll, glycol-proteins, complex sugars, vitamins and minerals.
