The History of Spirulina

Spirulina believe it or not has actually been around for over 3.5 billion years. It is believe that this microscopic algae was the first photosynthetic life form on the planet and to that effect is our immortal ancestor.

This blue-green algae which is shaped like a perfect spiral coil would have produced the oxygen that we have in our atmosphere and this in turn allowed for higher life forms to evolve.

So why is spirulina still around today?

This amazing algae has been able to renew itself and has billions of years of successful evolutionary wisdom encoded into its DNA.

Not that you know a little about the history of where spirulina came from let me tell you why it has been given the name superfood.

Spriulina contains a really remarkable concentration of nutrients and these cannot be found in any other food, grain, herb, or plant. It is the highest protein food and protein is the building block of our bodies. Without protein we would actually die as protein is used for almost every bodily function. Spirulina contains over 60% of digestible vegetable protein and it also has the highest concentration of Vitamin B12, iron, beta carotene, trace minerals, and the rare essential fatty acid GLA.

All these ingredients are what makes spirulina a superfood and an excellent alternative to separate vitamins and minerals.

Do yourself a favor and start adding spirulina to your daily diet. You will see amazing benefits, I promise you. You can purchase spriulina from Amazing Health Foods.
