Have you had your green slime today?  

You’ve seen it covering the surface of lakes and ponds with a blanket of green – it’s called Spirulina, a blue-green algae that are a group of organisms that are among the oldest on the planet and  are packed with incredible nutritional value.

Here is the nutritional punch these tiny organisms provide:

PROTEIN: Contains between 50-70% protein

AMINO ACIDS: It is a complete protein containing all essential amino acids

OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS: Rich in gamma-linolenic

acid (antioxidant and promotes heart and joint health) and alpha-linolenic acid

VITAMINS: Contains vitamins B1, B2,B3, B6, B9(folic acid),C, D, A and E

MINERALS: Source for Magnesium, Iron, Calcium, Potassium, Selenium, Zinc, Copper, Chromium, and Manganese

TRACE MINERALS: Contains trace minerals (which are commonly lacking in today’s diet)

Spirulina is so nutritional dense and it packages all these vitamins and minerals in a natural form making them in a highly usable state for the body.  Chock full of antioxidants which aid in the elimination of toxins and free-radicals.  It is also well known as a natural anti-cancer agent.  And there’s more! Spirulina helps balance flora in the gut, fights Candida overgrowth, can temper appetite and stabilize blood sugar levels AND can reduce inflammation in the body.

Consider adding spirulina to your daily nutrition.  I don’t recommend skimming the top of your local pond but do recommend investing in a top quality spirulina from a pure and trusted source.
