Spirulina





Blue-green algae, of which spirulina is a well-known example, is a group of 1,500 species of microscopic aquatic plants.The two most common species used for human consumption are Spirulina maxima and Spirulina platensis. They are both genus of the Cyanobacteria also known as Cyanophyta.




Spirulina occurs naturally in tropical and subtropical lakes with high pH and high concentrations of carbonate and bicarbonate. Spirulina occurs in Africa, Asia and South America.
Most health benefits to humans claimed for spirulina and other blue-green algae supplementation are supported by anecdotes rather than scientific research. Spirulina is particularly rich in protein(60%) and also contains carotenoids, vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids.
