Spirulina is a blue-green algae that contains 70 % of protein. It is also a source of B vitamins, especially B12 and pro-vitamin A (beta carotene), and minerals, especially iron. In several small studies, spirulina was found to have antioxidant properties, to give protection from viruses, and to inhibit the growth of multi-resistant bacteria.
Antioxidants are certain nutrients, such as vitamins C or E, or carotenoids, which may help protect cells against daily damage.Â
