Facts

Spirulina is one of the most popular supplements in the world since it is high in protein, provides essential elements and phytonutrients, and creates its own energy from sunlight. Reduces chronic inflammation induced by oxidative damage that may DNA and cells. Spirulina is an excellent source of plant protein. It is regarded a "complete" protein because it contains all of the vital amino acids that your body need but cannot generate on its own.
