A powder prepared from blue-green, freshwater algae from China, which boasts a large selection of vitamins, minerals, fibre & other valuable nutrients. The powder can be used to enrich each & every meal. Product benefits• The sheer abundance of vitamins (including vitamin B complex, vitamin E & beta carotene), minerals (spirulina contains up to 13% of essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium potassium, phosphorus, iron, zinc) trace minerals, cell salts, phytonutrients, enzymes & chlorophyll found in spirulina, all combine to strengthen our immune system. In addition to these immunity boosting spirulina benefits, the nutrients also improve our renal function, regulate our blood sugar levels & help reduce our risk of allergies. • Thanks to its large concentration of antioxidants, & in particular phycocyanin, spirulina can protect our bodies’ cells from harmful free radicals. • Spirulina acts as a natural host to live bacterium. This often overlooked spirulina benefit makes it particularly effective in combatting common yeast infections such as Candida. • As spirulina benefits from high quantities of vitamin B12, it has become a valuable supplement for those at risk of a vitamin B12 deficiency, such as vegetarians, vegans & those on a rawfood diet. A lack of vitamin B12 can have serious health implications & may lead to nervous tissue damage, anaemia, mania, psychosis & even the onset of Alzheimer’s if left unaddressed. Research by professor David Smith at the University of Oxford in 2008 revealed a direct correlation between insufficient levels of vitamin B12 & brain shrinkage & studies at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago showed a lack of vitamin B12 in elderly patients can actually reduce brain size & lead to impaired thinking, reasoning & memory skills. • Spirulina is entirely of plant origin & thus contains no toxins, meaning that it’s suitable for those on a kosher as well as vegetarian, vegan or rawfood diet. • This potent superfood is also a great alternative to protein powders, as on average spirulina benefits from 9.8 grams of protein per every tablespoon. • Suitable for those following a vegetarian, vegan or raw food diet. • Certified organic by " Organic Farmers & Growers", the UK’s leading government accredited organic certification body
