Description
Spirulina is an organism that grows in both fresh and salt water. It is a type of bacteria called cyanobacterium, which is often referred to as blue green algae. Just like plants, cyanobacteria can produce energy out of sunlight, via the process called photosynthesis. Spirulina was consumed by the Aztecs back in the day, but became popular again when NASA proposed that it could be grown in space and used by astronauts. A standard daily dose of organic spirulina powder capsules is 1-3 grams, but doses of up to 10 grams per day have been used effectively. It is actually quite amazing how nutritious it is. A single tablespoon (7 grams) of dried spirulina powder in a capsule contains: Protein: 4 grams. Vitamin B1 (Thiamin): 11% of the RDA. Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin): 15% of the RDA. Vitamin B3 (Niacin): 4% of the RDA. Copper: 21% of the RDA. Iron: 11% of the RDA. It also contains decent amounts of magnesium, potassium and manganese, and small amounts of almost every other nutrient that we need. This is coming with only 20 calories, and 1.7 grams of digestible carbohydrate. Gram for gram, this means that spirulina may literally be the single most nutritious food on the planet. Two capsules of organic spirulina contain a small amount of fat (around 1 gram), including both omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in about a 1.5 to 1 ratio. The quality of the protein in organic spirulina is considered excellent, comparable to eggs. It contains all the essential amino acids that we need. It is often claimed that spirulina contains vitamin B12, but this is false. It contains pseudovitamin B12.
