Superfoodies Spirulina Powder 100g

Spirulina powder is prepared from the blue-green, freshwater algae which boasts a large selection of vitamins, minerals, fibre and other valuable nutrients.

This Spirulina powder is certified organic and guaranteed contaminant free made from blue-green, freshwater algae. It is suitable for a vegan diet and has been dried at low temperatures with nothing added or taken away. Spirulina powder has only become such a sought-after addition to the Western diet in recent years, meaning that many of our customers are still highly unfamiliar with this nutrient-dense and rather striking food supplement. Sometimes sold in capsule form, it is made from a special type of unicellular freshwater blue-green algae that was once a valuable source of food and medicine for the Aztecs and Mesoamericans. Today, spirulina algae is cultivated in lakes and pools all over the world, where it especially thrives at a pH of around 8.5 and a temperature of approximately 30 °C. Thanks to its high nutritional content, NASA and the European Space Agency both proposed that spirulina be cultivated as a primary source of food during long-term space missions.

Spirulina Powder is rich in calcium. The calcium in spirulina powder contributes to normal blood clotting, a normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal muscle function and normal neurotransmission. It also contributes to the normal function of digestive enzymes and has a role in the process of cell division and specialisation. In addition, calcium is needed for the maintenance of normal bones and normal teeth, as well as the normal growth and development of bone in children.
