Description
Spirulina is strictly speaking not an algae, but a cyanobacterium. Like algae, this microscopic bacterium can perform photosynthesis. This is why spirulina is sometimes called blue algae or blue-green algae. Spirulina owes its blue-green colour to a combination of the green pigment chlorophyll and the blue pigment phycocyanin.
Because spirulina grows in salt water, this superfood is rich in minerals. Iron and magnesium, for example, ensure that spirulina powder helps reduce fatigue and tiredness. Vitamins B1, B2 and B3, also present in spirulina, contribute to a normal energy-yielding metabolism. The proteins in spirulina support healthy muscles and joints.
Purasana Spirulina Powder contains 100% raw spirulina, with no additional additives. The product is certified organic, vegan and kosher, is also free of the allergens gluten, lactose and soya.
Tip: Add 5 grams of spirulina to a liquid, smoothie, smoothie bowl or to guacamole for extra green power.
