Spirulina is a naturally occurring, protein-rich green algae that grows in fresh and salt water. It brags big beauty benefits when it comes to skincare. It is incredibly packed with nutrients, amino acids, proteins, and iron, and many more! Spirulina is said to be the most nutritious food on the planet, according to some
researchers.
Spirulina can be consumed as food but is also available as dietary supplement.
The World Health Organization has also spoken out in support of spirulina as a dietary supplement.
"For WHO, spirulina represents an interesting food for multiple reasons, rich in iron and protein, and is able to be administered to children without any risk. We at WHO consider it a very suitable food," the U.N. World Health Organization (WHO, for short), said of the super algae during a conference in
Geneva, Switzerland, way back in June of 1993.
