RAWDAY 100% Raw Spirulina 500mg

Spirulina is microscopic blue green vegetable microalgae that grow naturally in fresh water ponds and lakes in warm, sunny environments. It was discovered in South American and Africa in natural alkaline lakes. Spirulina has been used as a food source for centuries. Since the 1970′s, Spirulina has been well known and widely used as a dietary supplement in some countries. It is considered the most complete naturally cultivated nutrient in the world.

In terms of absorption, the capsules take longer to breakdown once ingested, but this can actually be a good thing. There are many enzymes in Spirulina. Enzymes are often destroyed by stomach acids during digestion, but the beautiful thing about taking Spirulina in capsules is that they are only partially digested in the stomach, and then complete digestion in the intestines. In the intestines there are no stomach acids present, so you can get the full benefit of these vital enzymes.

The single most important thing you can do to preserve Spirulina once it has been opened is to refrigerate it, if kept cold (or even frozen) there should be a negligible loss of nutrients.
