Feature: Spirulina
What’s in our Cabinet? This week we are taking a closer look at one of our favorite superfoods, Spirulina!
These tiny, single-celled freshwater microalgae contain an impressive 60% protein content and are also a natural source of minerals including iron, calcium, and magnesium. It’s high levels of B12 and protein make it the perfect addition to a balanced vegetarian or vegan diet.
And while we wouldn’t recommend relying on Spirulina as your main protein or iron source, it is cool to know that each gram of protein in Spirulina is 4x more absorbable than the same gram of protein in beef, and it contains 25-50x more iron than what you’d find in raw spinach, almost equivalent to red meat!
What’s more is that Spirulina is an extremely environmentally friendly and sustainable food source that’s easy to grow and harvest. It requires only 1min of water/year to produce versus beef which requires 218x more for the same 10g of protein!
Regular supplementation with Spirulina also removes accumulated toxins in the body, creating a gentle and safe daily cleansing effect, though we recommend you speak to your primary care provider first to see if this is appropriate for you.️
Our spirulina is Certified Organic and routine testing is always done to ensure Health Canada standards are exceeded with respect to measuring algal toxins, microcystins, BMAA, benzopyrene, pesticides and aflatoxins.
Nature truly is amazing and kudos to the first person who thought to sample this fluffy green plant in the sea.
As with any natural health product, you should consult your healthcare practitioner to see if this supplement is right for you.
What You Get: Each VTMN Packs order comes with enough packs to cover you for 30 days, so depending on how often you take your supplements (most of ours are taken twice a day), the total number of packs you get may be between 30 and 60.
