Spirulina is an excellent source of many important vitamins and minerals. It contains high amounts of vitamin A, vitamin K, vitamin B12, riboflavin (vitamin B2), iron, iodine, chromium, molybdenum, and manganese. These nutrients are important to support various body functions, including energy production, blood formation, and bone health.
Contains antioxidants
Spirulina is rich in antioxidants that help protect the body from damage caused by free radicals. It contains, among others, c-phycocyanin, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), chlorophyll, carotenoids, and zeaxanthin. These antioxidants can help reduce inflammation and improve overall health.
