Spirulina is a branched-chain amino acid of plant origin.
Compared to meat, which contains 40% protein, and legumes, which contain 35%, spirulina boasts 70% protein already transformed into amino acids and assimilable by our body.
It is a cyanobacterium, also known as a blue-green single-celled microalga, which has lived on our planet for over 3.5 billion years.
It is one of the most complete and balanced foods existing in nature, already defined by the UN as the best alternative food source of the future.
Spirulina combines a very high protein content with an exceptional concentration of Vitamins (complex B, D, E, K), Minerals (Calcium, Magnesium, Iron, Potassium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Chromium, Selenium), 8 essential Amino Acids and Betacarotene.
Spirulina strengthens the immune system, fights anemia, purifies and detoxifies the body, is ideal for vegans, vegetarians and coeliacs, increases physical and intellectual endurance, has beneficial effects on skin and hair integrity, gives a feeling of fullness, and is therefore ideal for weight loss diets.

3 capsules taken 30 minutes before meals can give a sense of satiety, which is why you will eat less.
