And it’s quickly becoming one of the most popular superfoods on the planet for a good reason. Spirulina is an algae that is packed with nutrients! In fact, it is so nutrient-dense that some researchers and scientists believe it can end malnutrition and world hunger. So what’s in it that makes it so nutritious? It is a high-quality source of protein–making up about 65% of its composition! It contains 18 amino acids, copper, iron, manganese, potassium, B vitamins, iodine, and Gamma-linolenic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid). It’s also one of the best plant-based iron sources and contains over 26 times more calcium than milk. Check out some of the health benefits of spirulina! #1 - It May Improve Muscle Strength and Endurance Spirulina is so nutrient-dense and high in antioxidants that Aztec messengers would use it as an energy source on their long runs. Some modern studies show that spirulina may improve muscle strength and endurance and decrease damage from exercise. #2 - It Helps Your Body Detoxify Spirulina can bind with toxins and heavy metals such as lead and arsenic and help your body remove them! In addition to chlorophyll that helps remove toxins in your blood, one review shows that the high antioxidant content is another reason for spirulina’s detoxifying properties. #3 - Its Anti-Inflammatory Spirulina is rich in antioxidants, in particular–phycocyanin! Phycocyanin is anti-inflammatory, and some studies have shown that it fights free radicals that cause oxidative stress. Add it to smoothies, beverages, or yogurt for an antioxidant boost! #4 - It Can Improve Your Immune System Mix things up if you’re tired of constantly taking vitamin C to stay healthy! Research shows that spirulina can increase “the production of infection-fighting cytokines.” One study, in particular, shows that spirulina can improve immune function in older adults.
