Spirulina is taking over the Multivitamin

April 15, 2010 by Ella

spirulina

Spirulina is a common type of blue-green algae that grows in warm fresh water. It has great nutritional and curative properties, it’s established as a great supplement on the market and it has been consumed for centuries by many cultures throughout the world.

As a nutritional supplement, spirulina usually comes in the form of pills or powders. It is a source of protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. Eating five grams of spirulina provides about 230 percent of the Recommended Daily Allowances (RDAs) of vitamin A and beta carotene, 150 percent of the RDAs of vitamin D and vitamin B12, and 125 percent of the RDA of vitamin K. It’s also a rich source of carotenoids, copper, vitamin E, iron, manganese, selenium, and zinc, and studies show that taking spirulina in moderation is not harmful.

Some people believe spirulina may help boost the immune system, prevent allergic reactions, combat certain viruses, lower cholesterol, protect the liver, fight cancer, and even aid in weight loss.

Here is the Nutrition Information for Spirulina.

    I’ve been taking a multivitamin for years since I became very anemic and had to be hospitalized. I was in my 20s at the time. It is never to early or late to start trying to take better care of your body. Taking the right vitamins is part of that approach.
