Spirulina (Nervous is a blue-green algae that grows in warm, alkaline fresh waters around the world, including Lake Texcoco in Mexico, and Lakes Rudolf and Nakura in Kenya. Its value as a food source is demonstrated by the fact that when the Spanish conquered the Aztec empire, they found the natives using green algae (spirulina) from Lake Texcoco in their diets.

Spirulina is 65-71 percent complete protein, compared to beef’s 22 percent protein. The algae is a source of all eight essential amino acids, as well as chelated minerals, natural plant sugars, trace minerals and enzymes. It’s easily assimilated by the body. Spirulina contains potassium, calcium, zinc, magnesium, manganese, selenium, iron and phosphorus. It is also rich in chlorophyll.

Spirulina can be used as a pre-meal supplement. It is one of the few plant sources of vitamin B12 -- a teaspoon supplying 2-1/2 times the Daily Value -- making it an excellent nutritional supplement for vegetarians whose diets usually lack vitamin B12. Each capsule contains 400 mg f 100 percent blue-green microalgae (vegetable plankton).

Take 2 capsules with a meal three times daily.

Spirulina is also available in the following combination package:

• Super Algae
• Garden Essentials
• Spectrum (Phytonutrients)
