Spirulina is a supplement that has been around for quite some time. However, many people don’t understand all the potential benefits from this supplement. It’s a type of organism that grows in both fresh and saltwater. It’s a family of single-celled microbes. Generally, spirulina comes in a dry powder form, but you can also find it in drops or as pills. 

Spirulina does pack many nutrients, which consist of the following – in a single tablespoon:

  • Protein
  • Vitamin B1
  • Vitamin B2
  • Vitamin B3
  • Copper
