THE NUMBER 1 SUPERFOOD EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE - SPIRULINA

THE NUMBER 1 SUPERFOOD EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE - SPIRULINA

Spirulina has been named “food of the future” by nutritional specialists, and for good reason.

After many years in the shadows, Spirulina is being recognised for its naturally nutrient dense profile and has been named “food of the future” by nutritional specialists. [1] Sourced from pure algae, Spirulina has a high-concentration of complete protein, is a natural source of bioavailable iron and contains vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and omega fatty acids, deservingly earning its street cred among health enthusiasts and nutritionists alike, not to mention its undeniable health benefits. Scientists and health professionals are even advocating Spirulina as a way to treat certain conditions. [2]

Spirulina, which naturally grows in both fresh and salt water, grows best when environmental conditions such as sun exposure, temperature and nutrient conditions are optimal. The creation of large outdoor spirulina ponds in desert areas enables growers to create and control these ideal growing conditions with clean air, hours of sunshine, purified water and minimal pollution. When grown and produced by experts, spirulina should be completely free from pesticides, herbicides, preservatives, dyes, chemicals, irradiation and fumigation.

Spirulina has always been known to support vegan and vegetarian diets but is now emerging as the superfood EVERYONE should take…on earth and beyond. ‘National Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA ) Scientists from USA tested and found that 1 kg of Spirulina is nutritionally equal to 1,000 kg of assorted Vegetables and Fruits.’[3] As a high quality, pure and natural superfood, it is also safe for children to consume as well as expecting women. In fact, Spirulina is one of the most sought-after food supplements among expecting women, not only as an effective pregnancy supplement, but also while preparing for it. Spirulina is believed and advised by many to enhance the natural chances of conception. [4]

When it comes to consuming superfoods, the objective is always the same; to boost immunity, increase energy and endurance, lower the risk of illnesses, fight fatigue and improve overall health and wellness.
