Spirulina Manna® (Arthrospira platensis) is a spiral shaped blue-green microalga that is known for its incredible, broad-spectrum nutritional content. Spirulina is considered one of the world's first superfoods. A staple food source for the Aztecs and other Mesoamericans who harvested wild spirulina from Lake Texcoco in central Mexico, wild spirulina is still harvested today from Lake Chad in west-central Africa. Wild blue-green algae thrive in lakes and inland bodies of water that are warm and alkaline.
Spirulina contains 55-70% biologically, complete protein content by dry weight - which translates to 2 grams of protein per teaspoon - and it is also a source of beta-carotene, various minerals, and gamma linolenic acid, an essential omega-6 fatty acid. Spirulina naturally contains varying levels of phycocyanin, a pigment-protein complex with antioxidant properties that is found only in blue-green algae.
Spirulina Manna is grown (cultivated) outdoors under highly- controlled conditions and is regularly lab tested for heavy metals and microbial toxins to ensure highest levels of purity.
Suggested use1 teaspoon per day, either all at once or divided. Spirulina is a food. It can be eaten directly or added to foods.
