Spirulina

What is it?

Spirulina is a blue-green algae that’s been consumed for centuries for its dense nutrient profile and energizing benefits. Often referred to as a "super algae," it’s packed with plant-based protein, B vitamins, antioxidants, chlorophyll, and trace minerals. In Rooted Super Greens, spirulina is a foundational ingredient that supports energy, detoxification, and immune function.

Source:

• Type: Cyanobacteria (Blue-green algae)

• Grown in: Freshwater lakes or controlled farms

• Form: Dried and powdered or freeze-dried to retain nutrients

How does it work?

Spirulina works by flooding the body with easily absorbable nutrients and powerful antioxidants like phycocyanin, which gives it its signature blue-green color. It helps protect cells from oxidative stress, alkalizes the body, and provides a plant-based source of complete protein including all essential amino acids. Spirulina also supports immune health, detoxification, and oxygen transportation due to its high iron and chlorophyll content.
