Spirulina (Arthrospira maxima) is a unicellular cyanobacterium and one of the earliest life forms. Approximately 3.6 million years ago, it began releasing oxygen, slowly creating today's atmosphere. In its natural state, it can be found mainly in warm tropical seas. In the past, long before it was cultivated, it was a food source for cultures in Mexico and Africa. Today it is cultivated in large freshwater ponds. It is then dried at low temperatures and mechanically processed into powder. Organic spirulina powder contains on average 65% protein and a wide range of vitamins, minerals and (phyto)nutrients.

What it helps with

• It helps people prone to anaemia because it supports healthy blood formation (thanks to its iron and vitamin B6 content).
• Iron is essential for the normal transfer of oxygen in the body and thus improves oxygenation.
• It helps to reduce fatigue (due to the interplay of iron and vitamin B6).
• The iron contained in spirulina contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
• It contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system (thanks to its magnesium content).

Beneficial substances in spirulina

1. high protein content: contributes to bone health and satiety, aids growth and body development

2. contains a wide range of vitamins and minerals, such as the following:

• high content of calcium (needed to maintain normal bone health) and iron (helps with blood formation)
• contains awide range of B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, B12): positive effect on the proper functioning of the nervous system

3. contains beneficial chlorophyll: a green pigment structurally similar to haemoglobin

4. beta carotene: precursor of vitamin A, natural antioxidant
