Like many other health conscious people around today its very likely that you have never come accross spirulina capsules, let alone tasted it, so what is spirulina and why is it fast becoming the fastest selling natural health supplement accross the globe?

Quite simply, spirulina is an algae. It is mainly grown in commercial tanks and is then usually freeze dried or manufactured into spirulina capsules or spirulina tablets before being sold to health food practitioners.

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

Spirulina is also packed with antioxidants, which have been proved to help prevent free radical destruction in our bodies.

Spirulina is also dense with vitamins and minerals including vitamin B12, C and E aswell as a great deal of other vital nutrients our bodies require to function correctly. As a matter of fact the list of health benefits of spirulina are just far too numerous to mention here so why not pop over to our website for more information on spirulina and the many benefits we can all achieve from using it.
