You may have heard of spirulina when it was added to the diet of astronauts. Or you may be familiar with it as a traditional food of the Americas and Africa. If you haven’t heard about it, let me tell you what you’re missing out on.
Spirulina is a good source of plant protein—it has more than beef or fish, as well as all 8 amino acids, a lot of iron, and a bunch of plant nutrients that support many aspects of health. There’s high levels of chlorophyll, which support healthy blood, and studies have even found that spirulina boosts the immune system (stimulating white blood cells and other immune activity).
It’s perfect for vegans (because of the high protein and iron content), people with digestion issues (from IBD to severe food allergies to old age)—it’s very easy to digest!, and according to another study, for people with Type 2 Diabetes (it’s got a powerful antioxidant).
You can add the benefits of Spirulina to your diet with a handy supplement: Blu-Lina Organic Spirulina. It’s especially handy for those with dietary issues (or just high standards): it’s made without allergens like wheat, eggs, corn, soy, etc., and like all Colloids for Life products, meets our high standards—it’s not processed with heat, chemicals, or fillers.
Spirulina is a true superfood, not just a one-hit-wonder. It’s a prebiotic that can support the good bacteria in your gastrointestinal tract, an anti-viral food, and is loaded with enzymes and essential fatty acids in addition to vitamins and minerals.
If you need a big nutritional boost—to support dietary choices/needs or other problems, look to Spirulina. It’s been available in nature for centuries, but fallen out of our dietary habits in favor of processed foods. Just make sure you stick to a high quality organic product, like Blu-Lina Organic Spirulina from Colloids for Life.
