Chi Spirulina 500mg organic tabletsWhat is spirulina?
Spirulina is a blue-green spiral-shaped alga. Algae are microscopic plants that have been at the base of the food chain for millions of years. Spirulina is an ancient saltwater alga known to the Aztecs, Toltecs, and several indigenous peoples in Africa, such as the Kanembu in Chad. Many terms have been used to describe spirulina: green gold and even beautyfood. Spirulina has a dark blue-green color, thanks to a brilliant blue polypeptide called phycocyanin. Phycocyanin is one of the phytonutrients in spirulina. The green color comes from chlorophyll.

Did you know that…
Spirulina is used as astronaut food? The European Space Agency has been researching biological solutions for over 25 years to create a closed ecosystem in a spacecraft using bacteria, algae, and plants, without the products taking up too much space. During one of these experiments, it turned out that spirulina offers possibilities. Spirulina contains many micronutrients and consists of more than 60 percent protein. Therefore, it is a good dietary supplement to complement daily astronaut food.
