The blue plant pigment is anti-inflammatory and protects the cells from radicals.
Spirulina capsules are offered as a supplement, that is, as a dietary supplement. They are taken in addition to daily food to prevent deficiencies of proteins, iron, vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids.
Spirulina has a long lasting effect on the skin, which is then generally healthier, and the capsules have a smooth surface that slides easily down the oesophagus. For this reason they are offered by many companies - for example Biofeel.
With a protein content of over 60 percent, spirulina capsules are a protein-rich food supplement with many trace elements and vitamins. One capsule contains 3g of powder, so the recommended daily dose of 10 capsules is sufficient to maintain stable and vital health. Spirulina's own phycocyanin provides additional protection against environmental toxins.
