Spirulina is a blue-green microalgae, an immediate food resource, rich in B vitamins, iron, and other trace minerals.  It produces 20 times as much protein as soybeans growing on an equal-sized area.  It provides all 9 of the essential amino acids plus 10 of non-essential ones.  Spirulina has no hard cellulose in its cell membrane; thus, its nutrients are easily digested and assimilated.  It contains 60 to 70 percent protein, the nucleic acids RNA and DNA, chlorophyll, and 5% essential fatty acids.  It is also one of the richest sources of beta carotene (10 times more than carrots).  It contains more vitamins B12 than beef, liver, chlorella, or sea vegetables.  Ten grams of spirulina supply 10% of the RDA of magnesium, 15% of calcium, 16% of manganese, and 17% of chromium.  Phycocyanin is another important nutrient found only in blue-green algae.  Research indicates that this pigment may stimulate the immune system, and thus, mat help prevent a host of degenerative organ diseases.  Spirulina aids in cholestrol reduction, and in mineral absorption.  It is also beneficial to people with hypoglycemia due to its high protein content and its ability to stabilize blood sugar levels.
