Our certified organic Spirulina is a source of freshwater algae, rich in proteins, vitamins, minerals and carotenoids essential for remarkable health and well-being.
Spirulina is a healthy, easy-to-digest, cholesterol-free source of essential amino acids. Spirulina also contains carotenoids, which serve as precursors for the synthesis of vitamin A. The acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), fatty acids omega-3 present in spirulina, help reduce cholesterol, promote cardiovascular health, and strengthen connective tissue to improve joint mobility. Spirulina also contains vitamins A, B₁, B₂, B₆, B₁₂, C, E, and K, and traces of the essential elements chromium, magnesium, selenium, and zinc.
New Roots Herbal's certified organic Spirulina is grown in closed, contaminant-free freshwater ponds, then harvested, rinsed in fresh water, and dried for a smooth, natural flavor.
