Nutrients and Antioxidants of Spirulina | Hefei Dielegance Biotechnology Co., Ltd.
The benefits of spirulina have been well established – and now, more people than ever are interested in learning about these microalgae featuring exceptionally high levels of vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients.
Spirulina is a blue-green algae, and is believed to be one of the oldest life forms on Earth. Spirulina is consumed by humans and animals worldwide. The three species are Arthrospira platensis, A. fusiformis, and A. maxima. Arthrospira is the most popular species among the three, used as a dietary supplement or whole food. Arthrospira is also used as a feed supplement in the aquaculture, aquarium, and poultry industries.
Historically, Spirulina was a main food source for the Aztecs and other Mesoamericans until the 16th century; the harvest from Lake Texcoco in Mexico and subsequent sale as cakes were described by one of Cortés' soldiers. The Aztecs called it “tecuitlatl”. Spirulina is loaded with various nutrients and antioxidants that may benefit human body and brain.
Dried spirulina powder contains protein, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B3, copper, and iron. The powder contains also decent amounts of magnesium, potassium and manganese. Worth noting that, calories in spirulina are surprisingly low. In the late 1980s and early 90s, both NASA and the European Space Agency proposed spirulina as one of the primary foods to be cultivated during long-term space missions. Spirulina is a fantastic source of antioxidants, which can protect against oxidative damage. The main active component in Spirulina is phycocyanin.
