Spirulina is seaweed with a little blue - green, which belongs to the phytoplankton and is considered the oldest inhabitants of our planet, and according to researchers aged about 3.5 billion years.

What is particularly striking with regard to the spirulina is striking that the protein content reaches 55 -77% by weight of the dried form. Indeed, proteins containing all essential amino acids the human body can not biosynthesis, so that takes only through food.

Also, great interest is the presence of several fatty acids with the largest gamma-linoleic acid, an omega-6 fats, which are invaluable to our organization, and help fight cholesterol, helps metabolism and serves on the proper hormonal function. They must also know that this fat is a precursor of prostaglandins involved actively in various systems of our body.

Naturally, Spirulina contains many minerals and trace elements such as selenium, potassium, phosphorus, chromium and magnesium and is rich in chlorophyll, vitamin A (in the form of beta - carotene), D, K, B1, B2 and B12 . It also contains carotene, fikokyanini, and other useful xanthophyll pigments.

Please note that the scientific interest that exists for this precious information, particularly in the last ten years have led to systematic cultivation in many countries, including Greece.
