Foods with positive effects on our health are called superfoods. The vast majority of them are of plant origin, but there are some that contain animal extracts.
Recently, the World Health Organization (WHO) included spirulina in this list.
These spiral-shaped, bluish-colored cyanobacteria are distinguished by the large amount of proteins they contain and the eight essential amino acids they provide.
In addition, it contains fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, trace elements and minerals. All this provides energy to the body to combat physical and mental fatigue. Vitamin B6 improves the digestive system, magnesium provides a feeling of well-being while trytophan enhances serotonin production.
On the other hand, the presence of iron combats anemia, protects the heart, and regulates stress, which helps increase the level of good cholesterol.
At the same time, it is a powerful antioxidant and has anti-inflammatory properties that helps the immune system and creates a feeling of fullness.
Spirulina can be purchased in different forms, with capsules or tablets being a good option to make it easier to take.
