4 oz - ZIN: 511508 - Unlike any other individual herb, Spirulina contains high concentrations of the nutrients needed to cleanse and rejuvenate the body. It is a naturally digestible food that aids in protecting the immune system, absorbing minerals and reducing cholesterol. Its high protein content helps to stabilize the fluctuating sugar levels characteristic of hypoglycemia. Spirulina is especially good for vegetarian diets, because it supplies vitamin B12, needed for healthy red blood cells. It also suppresses the appetite and may prolong the life of patients. This herb contains gamma-linolenic, linoleic, and arachidonic acids, iron, 60-70% protein, essential amino acids, nucleic acids, chlorophyll and phycocyanin. References: .
