i LOVE LOVE LOVE Spirulina!! Spirulina is another blue green algae, and is very similar to Chlorella. What separates them is the phycocyanin and chlorophyll content. Chlorella is higher in chlorophyll and Spirulina is higher in phycocyanin. Spirulina was the primary protein source in Mexico for over 5,000 years! it is 70% protein by weight!
- Spirulina contains 18 amino acids, and all 8 of the essential ones.
- best source of GLA
