December 28th, 2008 | by real |

Like many other health conscious people around today its highly probable that you have never discovered spirulina, let alone tasted it, so what is spirulina and why is it fast becoming the most popular natural health supplement worldwide)?

Spirulina is basically an algae. It is often grown in commercial tanks and is then usually freeze dried or manufactured into spirulina capsules or spirulina tablets before it is sold to health food practitioners.

Spirulina has an amazingly high chlorophyll content, as much as 70% in fact, and it is the large volume of chlorophyll that gives it the deep green/blue colour it is renowned for. In fact Nestle have begun using spirulina as a natural colouring for their blue smarties, which you may remember was abandoned in 2006 until recently because of the chemical colourings they used previously. (Nestle introduced natural colours and flavours across their entire range due to health issues over the chemicals used)

Spirulina is also abundant with antioxidants, which have been proved to help in our bodies.

Spirulina is also dense with minerals and vitamins including vitamin B12, C and E aswell as a great deal of other vital nutrients our bodies need to function correctly.
