KShs 800.00

Spirulina, a type of blue-green algae, is thought to be one of the Earth’s earliest forms of life.

Historically used by the Aztecs to enhance stamina, spirulina is now recognized as a superfood—a nutrient-rich option with protein levels that rival those of eggs.

Due to its naturally bitter taste, spirulina is often blended into yogurts, juices, and smoothies to make it more palatable. It’s widely available as a supplement in health food stores.

One tablespoon of spirulina provides:

  • Calories: 20
  • Protein: 4 grams
  • Fat: 1 gram
  • Carbohydrates: 2 grams
  • Fiber: 0 grams
  • Sugar: 0 grams

Spirulina is rich in:

  • Copper
  • Iron
  • Niacin
  • Riboflavin
  • Thiamine

Additionally, spirulina contains magnesium, a crucial mineral for everyday functions like muscle use and heart rhythm. It’s also essential for protein synthesis and energy production.

As a nutrient-dense superfood, spirulina offers a plant-based protein that studies suggest may have antioxidant, pain-relief, and neuroprotective effects.

The antioxidants and nutrients in spirulina are associated with several health benefits:

  • Anti-Cancer Properties: Spirulina’s antioxidants have anti-inflammatory effects, which can reduce the risk of cancer and other chronic diseases. Phycocyanin, the pigment responsible for spirulina’s blue-green color, has been shown to decrease inflammation, inhibit tumor growth, and kill cancer cells.
  • Heart Health: Research indicates that spirulina’s protein content can lower cholesterol absorption, leading to reduced cholesterol levels. This promotes clearer arteries, lessening the strain on the heart, and potentially preventing heart disease and stroke.
  • Energy Boost: Spirulina enhances energy levels, improves endurance, and reduces fatigue.
  • Natural Detoxifier: Spirulina helps detoxify the body and supports a healthy digestive system.
  • Appetite Suppressant: Spirulina is also known to help curb appetite.
