Spirulina is a blue-green algae well-known as a nutritional powerhouse. Often available as tablets or a powder, it's an excellent source of protein, vitamins (including B12 and K), minerals (such as iron and magnesium), and essential fatty acids.
It's particularly valued for its high concentration of antioxidants, which combat oxidative stress and may promote overall health. Regular consumption of spirulina has been linked to immune system enhancement, improved gut health through its influence on gut flora, and effective management of cholesterol levels, thereby supporting cardiovascular health.
Additionally, its anti-inflammatory properties make it beneficial in reducing inflammation throughout the body.
