Spirulina is a microscopic blue-green algae that has been consumed as food for thousands of years, including by the Aztecs. It is approximately 60–70% complete protein by dry weight and is rich in B-vitamins, iron, and chlorophyll.

Why it's used in the Beauty & Wellbeing Blend

As a food ingredient, spirulina is one of the most nutrient-dense plant foods available. It contributes complete protein, iron, and B-vitamins to the daily diet as part of a balanced eating plan. Iron contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the normal formation of red blood cells, which is a recognised nutrient function claim under FSANZ.
