As the Old Saying Goes… "One Man's Pond Scum Is Another Man's Superfood"

Okay, maybe that is not exactly how the saying goes – but it should be when it comes to Spirulina. Spirulina, a water plant, does not look like much when sitting in a pond, but put it under a microscope and it really starts to shine!

In this article, we will introduce you to the wonderful world of Spirulina. We will try to keep scientific jargon to a minimum, for fear of boring you to death. Let's jump in…

What Exactly Is Spirulina?

Spirulina is a blue-green algae. If you want to get technical about it, it is a microscopic algae, so it is called a microalgae. What's that? Not technical and boring enough – fine try this one… Spirulina (technically Spirulina platensis), is a spiral shaped multicellular blue-green microalgae. Spirulina, one of the planet's most ancient forms of plant life, grows in the water - both fresh water and sea water. The blue-green color of Spirulina comes from the high concentration of something called phycocyanin.

I am with you, learning about microalgae is not my idea of a good time. However, learning about the incredible nutrients that are inside the Spirulina microalgae is pretty exciting…

Let's All Pause and Say a Quick Thank You to Mother Nature

In this day and age, it seems like everything is new and improved. Drug companies spend billions of dollars trying to create drugs to treat diseases. Then they spend a few billion more creating drugs to treat the diseases that the first drugs caused!

On the other hand you have tiny little Spirulina that has survived on this planet for over 3.5 billion years. It contains 65% protein, all the essential amino acids and is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and GLA. Can we pause for a moment and say thank you to Mother Nature for giving us a true complete super food?

Check Out the Nutritional Properties of Spirulina:

  • Contains high concentrations of 18 Vitamins and Minerals
  • Rich in Chlorophyll
  • 65% of Spirulina is Protein
  • Contains ALL essential amino acids
  • Rich in gamma-linoleic acid (GLA) - an anti-inflammatory Omega 6 Fatty Acid
  • 100x the Vitamin A of Carrots
  • 50x the Iron of Spinach
  • 10x the Beta Carotene of Carrots
  • 7x the Calcium of Milk
  • 6x the Protein of Eggs
  • 3x More Iron Than Beef
  • Rich in Phytonutrients and antioxidants

You have to admit, that is pretty darn impressive for a water plant that has been on this planet for 3.5 Billion years!

Part One
We have a love/hate relationship with supplements. We love healthy and pure Organic Supplements that offer the best nutrients from Mother Nature. We hate fraudulent, over hyped, low quality supplements that prey on your health fears and are a complete waste of your money.

Part Two
We believe that a healthy supplement is one that helps everyone who touches the supplement. The growers, the workers and you the end user, should all benefit from the supplement.



Do Organic Supplement Really Have More Health Benefits
We can debate just how dangerous pesticides are to people and the planet – but clearly we would all prefer to have fruits, food and supplements that were free of any harmful pesticides.

Does Anyone Want to Take
Magnesium Stearate
Grab a bottle of any vitamins or supplements you have in the house and take a look at the "Other Ingredients" or "Inactive Ingredients". Odds are you will see something called Magnesium Stearate.

From Plant to Powder –
The Wrong Way to Do It
Do you live in the Amazon Rainforest? Can you roll out of bed, shimmy up a 30 foot Acai Palm Tree and pick your own, fresh, organic Acai berries?

In this article we are going to look at how organic plants and fruits go from nature to a supplement…and how all that can go wrong.

The Real Deal on Organic Vitamins
It should come as no surprise that Best Organic Supplements is a big fan of certain Organic Vitamins. What may be more surprising to learn is that we feel some Organic Vitamins are completely useless and a waste of your money!

Spirulina and Chlorella –
Like Peanut Butter and Jelly
Some things were just made to go together – peanut butter and jelly, waffles and ice cream, Spirulina and Chlorella. Both wonderful on their own, become super fantastic when mixed together!
