Organic Spirulina Tablets 80g, Dragon Superfoods

Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) is a single-celled blue-green algae, so named because of its spiral cellular structure. It has a rich dark green, slightly bluish color due to its chlorophyll content, and a specific and characteristic taste and aroma.

With its 65% protein content, it is the food with the highest protein content. Spirulina protein contains all 8 essential amino acids, making it the most complete protein overall.
Spirulina contains vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12, E, and K. In addition, spirulina contains minerals, trace elements, cell salts, phytonutrients and enzymes, chlorophyll, and other pigments.

Spirulina was discovered by researchers studying an African tribe. The tribe was very poor and had limited access to fruits, vegetables, and meat. However, they remained healthy due to the fact that they regularly consumed dark algae that grew nearby. This algae, now known as Spirulina, was harvested from the lake and dried so that the tribe could consume it. This helped the people to obtain protein and other nutrients despite their poor diet and limited resources.

Most people do not eat enough vegetables. Since Spirulina contains a high concentration of nutrients, it can be said that a small serving of Spirulina has the antioxidant power of 5 servings of fruits and vegetables. It has a greater amount of antioxidants and phytonutrients than blueberries and spinach combined.
The algae is mainly harvested from lakes, rivers, and swamps. After harvesting, it is naturally dried. Drying allows the preservation of nutrient quantities, which can be reduced by high temperatures.

Spirulina is primarily available in powder or tablet form. It is easy to consume – it can be added to smoothies, drinks, yogurt, oatmeal, and more. It has a specific odor due to the high concentration of chlorophyll, which can be easily masked with honey, citrus, or banana. The powder form allows it to be mixed into various glazes, doughs, etc. Some people prefer to take Spirulina in tablets rather than powder. Optimal absorption of Spirulina is achieved when tablets are taken with food, and spirulina itself stimulates and improves digestion, as well as gut flora, due to its alkaline structure and the presence of live lactobacilli, similar to those in yogurt. Spirulina contains 23 times more iron than spinach, more protein than any other food, and 3 times more calcium than milk.

The high concentration of vitamins and antioxidants in Spirulina makes it a powerful, healthy superfood. It is indicated for increasing energy levels, supporting cellular and immune function, lowering cholesterol, and for eye health. Since it strengthens immune defense, many people increase their consumption of Spirulina during illnesses to enhance their ability to fight infection and disease.

In tablet form, spirulina can be chewed or swallowed, making it easy and convenient to use.
