Uses Of Spirulina Due to its high quantities of minerals, vitamins and micro-nutrients, Spirulina has been mainly used to combat malnourishment and assist HIV/AIDS patients Africa. However in the last few years Spirulina has seen a growing market amongst the health and fitness conscious. Its high protein and nutrient content make it an ideal food supplement and an immune booster. The blue green alga Spirulina is arguably nature's most powerful green food. With over 60% protein content, Spirulina is the highest, most digestible source of "complete" protein. Spirulina is also the source of several important phytonutrients like Carotenoids; Essential Fatty Acids like Gamma Linolenic Acid; trace minerals such as Iron, Magnesium, Calcium; Sulpholipids and the antioxidant enzyme Superoxide dismutase (SOD) all of which are in a bio-available form. This ability of being easily digested and assimilated is due to Spirulina's lack of a cellulose cell wall. Most remarkably Spirulina is the highest source for phytopigments like Phycocyanin, Beta-carotene, Zeaxanthin and other plant pigments that define green foods like Chlorophyll.
