The SUPER-FOOD


Spirulina is a micro alga which is doubtless one of the most former inhabitants of our planet

Its food value was already known and appreciated by the old Aztecs because it pushed naturally in the lake Texoco in Mexique.
It was also consumed traditionally by native Africans of the surroundings of the lake Chad.

It was ?re-discovered? in the Sixties and it is still regarded nowadays as the SUPREME SOURCE OF NUTRITIONfor the humanity.

Spirulina is rich in proteins, mineral salts, essential vitamins and fatty acids very digestable and easily assimilables.

A daily portion provides to the human organism assimilable iron, provitamin A, many vitamins of the group B of which the vitamin B12, the vitamin E and the gamma-linoleic acids among others.
Phosphorus, Calcium and Magnesium are present in quantity comparable with the cow milk.

As comparison, 10 grs of spirulina contains as much of:

- IRON than : 72 grs of whole corn, 450 grs of spinaches or 90 grs of calf liver
- VITAMIN than : 14 eggs or 4,5 litres of cow milk
