Spirulina, 1oz.

Spirulina is blue-green algae that is harvested and dried for its healthful value. Spirulina is cultivated and consumed throughout the world as a source of food and nutrition. It can be sprinkled on food or added to spice mixes, smoothies, green drinks, and juices.

The plant's chemical makeup is 65% amino acids, including the essential fatty acid gamma-linolenic acid (GLA).

The high concentration of amino acids has made spirulina a popular nutritional supplement for those who are unable to obtain sufficient calories and protein through diet alone, particularly athletes who burn calories at a high rate. In addition to amino acids, spirulina is also a rich source of numerous other nutrients, including many essential vitamins and minerals.
