Spirulina is freshwater-sourced of deep-green algae rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, and carotenoids critical for great health and wellbeing. It helps reduce symptoms of allergic rhinitis such as nasal discharge, sneezing, nasal congestion and itching. New Roots Herbal’s Simply Spirulina is the premium, powdered form of one the most complete sources of nutrition available. These freshwater unicellular organisms harness the sun’s energy through photosynthesis and assimilate virtually every vitamin and mineral essential for excellent health and wellbeing. Spirulina is a healthy, easily digestible, cholesterol-free source of essential amino acids. Spirulina also contains carotenoids that serve as precursors for vitamin A synthesis. The omega-3 fatty acids alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) found in spirulina help lower cholesterol, promote cardiovascular wellbeing, and improve the condition of connective tissue for improved joint mobility. Spirulina also contains vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C, E, and K, as well as the critical trace elements chromium, magnesium, selenium, and zinc. New Roots Herbal’s Simply Spirulina is cultivated in fully closed, contaminant-free freshwater ponds, then harvested, freshwater-rinsed, and dried for a mild, natural flavour.
