Ingredients We Use #7 -- Blue-Green Algae

Blue-Green Algae (or Spirulina) is multi-celled with a thin, weak membrane and thus has good digestive absorption characteristics. Rich in high-standard, easily digested protein (60-75%), this exotic blue-green alga can be found in alkaline waters (sodium bicarbonate content, hence soft waters) of some lakes in Africa and Mexico as well as the U.S.A., China and other areas of the world. Because of this highly alkaline condition of the waters, spirulina becomes highly resistant to disease, other microorganisms and natural enemies. The protein in spirulina is more concentrated than soybean (39%), or raw material of animal origin (18-20%). This high protein content helps stabilize blood sugar levels, making it beneficial for those with hypoglycemia. To protect and repair the liver, a full sufficiency of protein must be taken. Algae Nutrio helps create a high serum level of protein.
