Spirulina comes from a natural algae (cyanobacteria) particularly rich in nutrients and proteins. When properly harvested from uncontaminated bodies of water it is one of the most potent sources of nutrients available. It is made up mostly of proteins and essential amino acids and is especially recommended for vegetarians due to its high iron content. It is also often consumed due to its vitamin B12 content, although there is still much debate on this topic. The high concentration of protein and iron highly recommends it during the period after surgery or whenever we need an immunization of the body.
