Spirulina - what is it and why is it worth using?

Spirulina is a microscopic algae. It belongs to the group of superfoods and is often called Mother Earth's milk. To what does he owe such enthusiastic expressions? Is it worth using it every day? Let's check.

We do not know any other plant or substance that would be richer in nutrients, especially vitamins B, E, A and microelements. Highly valuable protein, iron (much more than meat!), Magnesium, calcium, potassium and the so-called biophotons (molecules in which the alga has accumulated solar energy and gives it back to the body ready for use) restore the body's vitality in an incredible way. There is a lot of scientific evidence confirming the beneficial effects of spirulina on the human body.

Spirulina stimulates the body's natural defenses.

Spirulina: Hawaiian or Chinese?

So which one should you choose? Which will be better? Truth be told ... it doesn't really matter. Both Chinese, organic and Hawaiian spirulina are worthy of our interest. It should be remembered that the Chinese are true masters of her breeding. For example, they have been growing spirulina for many years and are doing it really well. After all, it is their spirulina that has conquered almost the whole world and is enjoying a diminishing popularity everywhere.

Hawaiian Spirulina owes its unique properties not so much to the cultivation itself, but to the place where it is grown. It is grown in specially prepared, for this purpose, pools with groundwater sources of rainforests and clean ocean water. The specific microclimate around Hawaii has no little influence on its development and breeding.

We leave the choice of the right spirulina to you. Remember, however, that spirulina requires special treatment and approach, so not only professional knowledge is required to grow it, but also remarkable accuracy. This alga is really valuable, but at the same time extremely delicate and sensitive to any changes in the environment in which it grows up.
