Healthy living is a trend and it is customary for many to venture into the consumption of supplements and activities that strengthen our health and well-being in an integral way. Today we are talking about spirulina or spirulina, a food supplement that has always been described as unicellular algae although it is actually a set of cyanobacteria. Spirulina is a superfood in the form of a spiral - hence its name - that is consumed in powder or in tablets, is added to green juices, salads, or even stews. It offers a variety of more digestible proteins than red meat and a range of components such as vitamins, macrominerals, minerals, essential fatty acids, proteins, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), chlorophyll, and a wide range of phytochemicals.
Spirulina contains high amounts of chlorophyll – its color is bluish green – so it helps eliminate toxins from the body. It grows in seawater and in some lakes in Africa, America and Asia, and was a fundamental part of the diet of the Mayans and African indigenous people. It has been declared by UNESCO as the food of the millennium for its multiple properties and health benefits. It is consumed by athletes and is a rejuvenating supplement due to the concentration of nutrients, iron and antioxidants it contains.
