One of the first life forms on Earth, Spirulina is considered one of nature’s most perfect foods. Containing 65% protein, this nutrient dense algae is often used by NASA astronauts and endurance athletes to help with output and recovery. Its blue-green appearance is attributed to phytonutrients; chlorophyll (green pigment) and phycocyanin (blue pigment). Both are powerful antioxidants, working together to alkalize, sooth, and protect the body.
