Dragon Superfoods

Organic Spirulina Powder by Dragon Superfoods is dried through a natural process that preserves its nutrients and then finely ground into powder. It is grown in filtered, natural waters under strict control.
Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) is a single-celled blue-green algae named after its spiral-shaped cellular structure. It has a deep dark-green, slightly bluish color due to its chlorophyll content, and a distinctive taste and aroma.

With 65% protein content, spirulina powder is one of the foods with the highest protein concentration. The protein in spirulina contains all 8 essential amino acids, making it one of the most complete proteins available.

Spirulina was discovered by researchers studying an African tribe. The tribe was very poor and had limited access to fruits, vegetables, and meat. Despite this, they remained healthy because they regularly consumed a dark algae that grew nearby. This algae—now known as spirulina—was harvested from the lake and dried so the tribe could eat it. It helped them obtain protein and other nutrients despite their restricted diet and limited resources.

Because spirulina powder contains a high concentration of nutrients, it is said that a small serving of spirulina has the antioxidant power of five servings of fruits and vegetables. It contains more antioxidants and phytonutrients than blueberries and spinach combined.
The algae is primarily harvested from lakes, rivers, and marshes. After collection, it is naturally dried. This drying process preserves nutrients that might otherwise be destroyed by high temperatures.

It is easy to consume—add it to smoothies, drinks, yogurt, oatmeal, and more. It has a distinctive smell because of its high chlorophyll content, but this can easily be balanced with honey, citrus fruits, or banana. In powder form, it can also be mixed into glazes, doughs, and other recipes.
Spirulina contains 23 times more iron than spinach, more protein than any other food, and 3 times more calcium than milk.

Spirulina powder should not be used as a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
Consult your doctor before taking spirulina powder if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or undergoing medical treatment.
The product is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
