Spirulina algae is a freshwater algae with a typical spiral shape, from which its name derives.
By virtue of its multiple properties, since 1974 the UN has promoted its cultivation in the fight against the nutritional deficiencies of the poorest populations on the planet.
Spirulina alga: the "best food of the future" according to the UN.
What are the characteristics that make spirulina algae a "superfood"?
Without a doubt, the main property of spirulina algae is the high concentration of highly digestible complete proteins. Among them, lysine, bioavailable at 85%.
It is even more easily digested than soy proteins.
While the various types of meat have a protein content below 25% of their dry weight, spirulina proteins make up more than half of its weight.
Furthermore, seaweed is a natural source of iron: 10 grams of spirulina in fact provide the recommended daily dose.
Benefits of Alga Spirulina
Spirulina algae is rich in tryptophan, an essential amino acid needed to regulate sleep and to combat depression.
It is an excellent source of minerals (potassium, calcium, zinc, magnesium, selenium, phosphorus) and vitamins (B and E), which is why its consumption:
- increases cellular energy production;
- facilitates digestive processes;
- helps counter neuro-degenerative diseases.
In fact, it is one of the few vegetables containing vitamin B12, essential for optimal functioning of the brain and nervous system.
Its blue-green color is due to its high chlorophyll content, digestive and circulatory properties.
Thanks to its high chlorophyll content, spirulina has digestive and circulatory properties.
Its phycocyanin, the only blue pigment in nature, with its strong antioxidant power, converts it into an important ally to fight against oxidative stress, the main cause of aging.
Various clinical studies show that spirulina alga is indicated to prevent and also treat cholesterol and diabetes.
