Spirulina

Just a few years ago, spirulina was exclusively part of a vegetarian diet. Fans of plant-based nutrition chose this superfood as a natural substitute with a high content of proteins and beneficial compounds.

Spirulina is a combination of green algae and cyanobacteria. The shade can vary from green to dark blue or emerald. Visually spiral-shaped bacteria inhabit only warm waters of tropical lakes with a high alkaline content. Spirulina is also grown, dried, ground, creating a biologically active supplement based on phytoplant.

Dark green algae can provide complete nutrition, replacing several meals. A large amount of protein helps the human body to be energized, which is important for dieting and weight loss.
