Spirulina Powder Organic 250 g

Organic Spirulina Powder

Spirulina, known as a natural superfood, thrives best in the mineral-rich waters of the warm tropical sea. It takes its name from its spiral shape and is considered one of the earliest forms of life on Earth. It was already extremely popular and highly valued by the Aztecs. Traditionally, it was used to make stews and various cakes, and was consumed for strength and stamina. However, spirulina has regained its popularity in recent years. As such, it has been regarded as one of the best and most popular superfoods for quite some time now. It has also been approved by the FDA and the WHO, and is reportedly consumed by astronauts on missions. Spirulina is rich in minerals and salts from the seas and oceans. These contain the same minerals as human blood. The algae thus contain natural vitamins and minerals that the body can easily digest.

Spirulina and other algae are most commonly consumed in powder form. However, we also offer spirulina in tablet form.

Our spirulina is organically grown.

What are the benefits of spirulina?

It contains chlorophyll, a high percentage of protein, all essential amino acids and just a few per cent of mainly unsaturated fats. Chlorophyll is sometimes referred to as ‘green blood’, as its molecular structure is extremely similar to that of haemoglobin and is therefore well-suited to our bodies. Spirulina is also very easily digestible due to its cell wall, which is composed of digestible mucopolysaccharides (rather than cellulose, as in other plants). Among the amino acids, the most important is gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which is found only in breast milk, borage oil, hemp seeds and certain other algae.

It also has a beneficial effect on digestion, promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut and improves gut flora. Spirulina is an excellent support for a healthy diet and various (weight-loss) diets.

Spirulina is a rich natural source of potassium, as well as iron, calcium, zinc, sodium, manganese, magnesium, selenium, iodine, chromium and even sulphur. It also contains beta-carotene and electrolytes. Among the vitamins, the most important are vitamins A1, B1, B2, B3, B6, B9, B12, C, D and E.

In addition to the above, it is also worth noting that spirulina has a beneficial effect on hair and skin. With a quarter of a teaspoon of spirulina and a few drops of water, you can prepare a face mask, which you apply to cleansed skin and leave on for 20 minutes. Then rinse thoroughly and moisturise with cream. You can repeat this process 2–3 times a week.

Why is spirulina referred to as a superfood and why is it good to consume?

Spirulina has a distinctive composition, which includes high levels of plant proteins (including essential proteins and amino acids), vitamins, minerals and other important active ingredients. Its unique composition fully nourishes the cells of the human body. It removes heavy metals from the body, thereby detoxifying it.

We also classify it as a superfood because it has a high protein efficiency ratio; the proteins in spirulina are easily digestible and can be effectively utilised by the body in its processes.
