Spirulina

Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) is a simple one-celled microscopic blue-green algae (Cyanobacteria).

Spirulina can be found in many freshwater ponds, lakes, and rivers. It thrives best under pesticide-free conditions with plenty of sunlight and moderate temperature levels, but it is also highly adaptable, surviving even in extreme conditions.

Spirulina is often deemed the most nutritionally complete of all food supplements, containing a rich supply of many important nutrients, including protein, complex carbohydrates, iron, and vitamins A, K, and B complex.
