Spirulina is a blue-green microalgae that contains natural protein as well as other nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and GLA (gamma-linolenic acid).
NOW® Spirulina provides a natural nutrient profile found in real whole foods.
Spirulina has the highest protein content of any known edible plant. It is a complete protein source with 18 amino acids. Protein makes up about 60-70% of the dry weight of spirulina, which is why it is colloquially called green meat. It can be a great addition to the diet for people who limit their intake of meat products or dairy protein, such as vegetarians. They can also be a good alternative source of peptides for people with intolerances to other high-protein foods. Spirulina is rich in several forms of sulfur, which is felt in the taste, reminiscent of boiled eggs. This is another important ingredient that helps strengthen the immune system, as well as improve skin health. The blue dye found in spirulina has cleansing properties as it helps remove toxins from the body.
