What is Spirulina? Characteristics and Properties of the Blue Algae

Spirulina, Arthrospira platensis, is a blue algae typical of brackish waters and tropical areas, with a narrow and elongated shape and a dark green color, due to the massive presence of chlorophyll. It is part of the blue algae, but the chlorophyll pigmentation covers that of phycocyanin, which gives the bluish shades to the algae. The name spirulina comes from the shape of the algae, which resembles a spiral. It is an ingredient with beneficial properties recommended to supplement a healthy diet and provide important nutrients to our body to strengthen our immune system.

For those who lead a healthy lifestyle and need to take it after a run or physical exercise in the evening, it can be added to smoothies, soups, and broths for a fundamental contribution to our health.
