Spirulina - A Rich Source of Iron and Protein




Spirulina has become a very popular dietary supplement because of its high iron and protein content. It is a natural food that contains 58 times more iron than raw spinach and 28 times more than raw beef liver. It contains 60 percent more proteins in its dry weight thus earning the name superfood. 

Spirulina is believed to protect the body from various forms of allergies, boosts the immune system, and possesses anti-cancer and anti-viral properties.
