Spirulina: What it is and how it works...

Spirulina is a global super-supplement that maintains the immune system & supports a healthy allergy response.*

Spirulina is a microscopic blue-green vegetable algae that is considered to be one of the most nutrient-dense supplements available. Spirulina is a source of highly absorbable protein, mixed carotenoids and other phytonutrients, B vitamins, iron, chlorophyll, GLA and essential amino acids, as well as other trace minerals and nutrients.

Spirulina has emerged as an especially potent and healthy source of nutrition for humans and animals alike. Spirulina has been consumed by many different cultures for centuries, as an essential nutrient for optimal health.

Safe and non-toxic, this vegetable algae nourishes the endocrine and immune systems. Spirulina is perhaps best known for its ability to help support a normal allergy response. High in antioxidants, spirulina is thought to help protect the body from free radicals that are found in the environment. Spirulina has also been shown to help promote gastrointestinal health. The B vitamins in spirulina support the nervous system. In addition, spirulina supports the detoxifying role of the kidneys and liver.

Springtime uses only the highest-grade spirulina, chosen for purity and freshness. Modern culture systems are strictly controlled, assuring 100% purity of the strain for a safe and reliable supply. And, as with all Springtime products, we choose to manufacture to USP standards, which include testing for heavy metals, pesticides and contaminants.
