Spirulina

Spirulina is undoubtedly packed with nutrients. A 2-tablespoon (14-gram) portion contains 8 grams of complete protein, as well as 95% of your daily copper needs and 22% of your daily iron needs.

Additionally, spirulina is a great source of essential fatty acids, as well as significant amounts of the minerals magnesium, riboflavin, manganese, and potassium. A natural pigment contained in spirulina called phycocyanin has been shown in several test-tube and animal studies to have potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties. Additionally, research links spirulina consumption to health advantages such as a boosted immune system, lower blood pressure, and better blood sugar and cholesterol levels. But more human studies must be conducted before any conclusions are drawn on all of spirulina’s health claims.
