What it is
A microscopic alga
A microscopic alga
with a big nutrient profile
Spirulina is a microscopic blue-green algae, commonly associated with Arthrospira platensis and related species. It is naturally rich in protein and contains a variety of other nutritional compounds.
Spirulina has been consumed as a food source and is now widely available in capsule forms. The capsule format makes it easy to include as part of a regular nutritional routine.
Phycocyanin is one of the characteristic blue pigments naturally found in spirulina, and gives it much of its distinctive blue-green colour.
How to think about it
Unlike some traditional herbs, spirulina is better understood as a nutrient-rich food ingredient than as a traditional medicinal herb.
It has been consumed as a nutritional food source in different parts of the world and is valued for its nutrient content. Today it is commonly included in wellness routines as a plant-based source of protein and other naturally occurring compounds. Its nutritional properties should not be interpreted as evidence that it can treat, prevent or cure a medical condition.
