DRAGON SUPERFOODS SPIRULINA 400mg x 200 tabl
Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) is a single-celled blue-green algae, so named because of its spiral cell structure. It has a deep dark green color, a slightly bluish color due to its chlorophyll content and a specific and characteristic taste and aroma.
With its 65% protein content, it is the food with the highest protein content. Spirulina protein contains all 8 essential amino acids, making it the most complete protein ever.
Spirulina contains vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12, E and K. In addition, spirulina contains minerals, trace elements, cell salts, phytonutrients and enzymes, chlorophyll and other pigments.
Spirulina was discovered by researchers studying an African tribe. The tribe was very poor and had limited access to fruits, vegetables and meat. However, they remained healthy thanks to the fact that they regularly consumed the dark algae that grew around them. This algae, now known as Spirulina, was pulled from the lake and dried for the tribe to consume. This helped people get protein and other nutrients despite a poor diet and limited resources.
Most people don't eat enough vegetables. Since Spirulina contains a large concentration of nutrients, it can be said that one small serving of Spirulina has the antioxidant power of 5 servings of fruits and vegetables. It has more antioxidants and phytonutrients than blueberries and spinach combined.
Algae is mainly acquired from lakes, rivers and swamps. After harvesting, it is naturally dried. Drying allows to preserve the amount of nutrients, which can be reduced under the action of high temperature.
Spirulina is mostly available in powder or tablet form. It is easy to consume - it can be added to smoothies, drinks, yogurt, oatmeal, etc. It has a specific smell due to the high concentration of chlorophyll, which, however, can easily be quenched with honey, citrus or banana. The powder form allows it to be mixed into various glazes, batters, etc. Some people prefer to take Spirulina in tablets rather than powder. The optimal absorption of Spirulina is achieved when the tablets are taken with food, and Spirulina itself stimulates and improves digestion, as well as intestinal flora, due to its alkaline structure and the presence of live lactobacilli similar to those in yogurt. Spirulina contains 23 times more iron than spinach, more protein than any other food and 3 times more calcium than milk.
Spirulina's high concentration of vitamins and antioxidants make it a powerful, healthy superfood. It is shown to increase the amount of energy in the body, to support cellular and immune function, to lower cholesterol and for eye health. Because it boosts the immune system, many people increase their consumption of Spirulina during illness to increase their ability to fight off infection and disease.
In tablet form, spirulina can be chewed or swallowed, making it easy and convenient to use.
