Spirulina is 100% natural product<\/span><\/strong> that consists a wide variety of nutrients and supplements, thus it is considered an enriched supplement.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It contains a wide variety of essential nutrients such as vitamins, metals, trace elements and unsaturated fatty acids with a high protein content (55-70%).<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0 \u00a0Did you know that\u2026 spirulina is a source of \u03b2-carotene and vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin)?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Spirulina has a high concentration of vitamin B12 found in animal food products thus making a suitable source for the vitamin intake for vegetarians.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Precisely spirulina consists of: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Protein:<\/strong> Essential Amino acids: Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan, Valine. Not essential amino acids: Histidine, Alanine, Arginine, Aspartic Acid, Cystine, Glutamic Acid, Glycine, Proline, Serine and Tyrosine.<\/p>\n

Metals\/Trace Elements:<\/strong> Calcium (Ca), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), Sodium (Na), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Zinc (Zn), Magnesium (Mg), Copper (Cu), Chromium (Cr), Selenium (Se).<\/p>\n

Vitamins:<\/strong> beta carotene (Provitamin A), Vitamin B Complex (B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, Pantothenic Acid, Biotin, Folic Acid), Vitamin E.<\/p>\n

Fatty Acids:<\/strong> Mainly polyunsaturated fatty acids including \u03b3-Linolenic Acid (GLA), \u03b1-Linolenic Acid (ALA) and Linoleic Acid (LA).<\/p>\n
