Spirulina
Powder - 4 lb. (Bulk Size)
Spirulina
(Arthrospira platensis) rests atop the green superfood pantheon.
This blue-green vegetable plankton has been a source of nutrition for humans
since the Aztecs harvested it from Lake Texcoco in Mexico centuries ago.
Spirulina very well may have been the first photsynthetic life form created
by nature over 3.6 billion years ago. Algae such as Spirulina is believed
to have produced the oxygen in our atmosphere that allowed the developement
of higher life forms, and it still contains the rich nutrient content that supports
the diversity of life we have on Earth today. Spirulina contains the highest
protein and beta-carotene levels of all green superfoods, and is also a rich
source of GLA (Gamma Linolenic Acid), a popular fatty acid with numerous health
benefits. In addition it is the highest known vegetable source of
B-12 and provides optimum levels of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, cell
salts, amino acids and enzymes. NOW® Spirulina is 100% pure, and cultivated/harvested
in Hawaii, where ideal weather conditions allow for year-round growth and excellent
nutritional content.
