Spirulina 400 mg, 150 capsules

Spirulina comes from a natural alga (cyanobacteria) that is exceptionally rich in nutrients and proteins. When properly harvested from uncontaminated water basins it is one of the most potent nutrient sources available. It is composed mostly of proteins and essential amino acids and is especially recommended for vegetarians due to its high iron content. It is also often consumed for its vitamin B12 content, although there is still much debate on this subject. The high concentration of protein and iron makes it highly recommended during the post-operative period or whenever we need to boost the body's immunity.

*Spirulina (marine cyanobacterium) contains over 1000 micrograms of iodine.
