Blue-green algae, of which spirulina is a well-known example, is a group of 1,500 species of microscopic aquatic plants. The two most common species used for human consumption are Spirulina maxima and Spirulina platensis. Spirulina is particularly rich in protein and also contains carotenoids, vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids. Blue Green Algae (Aphanizomenon flos-aquae) is a unique superfood harvested from the pristine Upper Klamath Lake in the Oregon Cascades. This nutrient-dense, freeze-dried, whole food concentrate contains a full spectrum of easily digestible minerals, vitamins, protein and chlorophyll. Blue-Green Algae is the perfect anabolic green food, as it contains all eight essential amino acids. The glycolipoprotein cell walls are "softened" during the freeze drying process making the cell contents more readily available for assimilation. NOW Blue Green Algae tabs are safe, 100% natural and highly assimilable. This nutrient rich super-food is one of our earth's most universally complete nutritional sources - organically enriched with a complete amino acid and vitamin profile, over 60 trace minerals, omega-3 and -6 essential fatty acids, high beta-carotene content and chlorophyll. As one of the very few supplements with use dating back thousands of years, blue-green algae has been trusted for generations to strengthen the immune system, improve mood, ease pain, increase energy and promote healthy digestion.
