Lets take an deeper look into one of the world's most potent nutrient source available, Spirulina. Spirulina has an long history of existing ever since the beginning of life because it is an single-celled organism algae, more specifically an bacteria under cyanobacteria. One reason why this is an top superfood in our modern day to day life, is because it has the highest plant-based protein in existence! An average of 60% of it is protein! This fresh water algae is tremendously great for vegetarians because it can replace animal protein. It contains all the essential amino acids that we need for our daily lifes. As you know, the lower that the food is on the food chain, the more pure it is, and the more safer it is for us humans to consume it. It is an great source of antioxidants, as well as essential vitamins and minerals. On this planet, algae has been in existence and are the very first forms of lifes. Spirulina played an major role in being one of the first edible plants of the food chain. Cyanobacteria are chloophyll-rich, through the process of photosynthesis, it is able to feed itself. Spirulina has an whole, cheesy nutty-type of flavor and can taste fishy for some people. You either like the taste of you hate it.

The 3 health benefits of spirulina are:

1 Boosts Immunity

2 Improves Memory and Academic Performance

3 It protects your brain

Spirulina is natural, and has little to no side effects! This can be an great addition to your diet to help you feel more energized for the next day. Spirulina is truly an superfood and can be classified as one, the idea of eating of the very first foods of creation is very unique.

I take 1-2 teaspoons (6-10 grams) of spirulina powder, I usually just dissolve it into water and drink though. One teaspoon everyday consistently is an very stable dosage for me.

Ok, thanks.
