Spirulina is cultivated worldwide; uses as a dietary supplement as well as a whole food; and is also available in tablet, flake and powder form. The odour and taste of spirulina is very similar to seaweed.
Spirulina can be found in many freshwater environments, including ponds, lakes and rivers. It htrives best under pesticide-free conditions with plenty of sunlight and moderate temperature levels, but it is also highly adaptable, surviving even in extreme conditions.
Spirulina is often deemed the most nutritionally complete of all food supplements, containing a rich supply of many important nutrients, including protein, complex carbonhydrates, iron and vitamins A, K and B complex. It also has a high supply of carotenoids such as beta carotene and yellow xathopylls which have antioxidant properties. It is also rich in chlorophyll, fatty and nucleic acids and lipids. Thus, spirulina has countless uses as a supplement for maintaining good health and for preventing diseases.
Safety Profile:
While it has a very high nutritional value, spirulina may also cause side effects. Some individuals may suffer from allergic reactions to this algae, including rashes, hives and difficulty breathing. People with the rare metabolic condition phenylketonuria are not able to metabolize the amino acid phenylalanine, and therefore should avoid taking spirulina. Likewise, people with autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis or lupus should not take spirulina, as it could stimulate the immune system and worsen the present condition. Spirulina may also counteract the effectiveness of certain medicines, such as prednisone, which are commonly used for treating asthma and other inflammatory diseases.
