SPIRULINA: Protein Rich Mineralizer

Spirulina has been traditionally used by indigenous populations around the world, particularly in China, Japan and Korea. It was also an important food source of the Aztecs. Called ‘Tecuitlatl’ by the Aztecs, meaning “the stones excrement,” it was commonly dried into cakes to be sold at markets and added to food.
