Like many other health conscious people around today its very probable that you have never discovered spirulina, let alone tasted it, so what exactly is spirulina and why is it fast becoming the number one natural health supplement accross the globe. It is often grown in commercial tanks and is then usually freeze dried or turned into spirulina capsules or spirulina tablets before it is sold to health food businesses.

Spirulina has an incredibly large chlorophyll content, with as much as 70% in fact, and it is the large volume of chlorophyll which gives spirulina the deep green/blue colour it is famed for. In fact Nestle have begun using spirulina as a natural colouring for their blue smarties, which you may recall was dropped in 2006 until this year due to the chemical colourings they used previously. (Nestle introduced natural colours and flavours across their entire range as a result of health issues over the chemicals used)

Spirulina is also filled with antioxidants, which have been shown to help in our bodies.

Spirulina is also abundant with vitamins and minerals including vitamin B12, C and E aswell as many other essential nutrients our bodies need to function properly.
