Spirulina - For good health and energy

Spirulina - never heard this term in my life until a couple of weeks back. A colleague of mine introduced this to me during one of our post-lunch walks to the nearby Juice shop. I was very apprehensive initially about mixing some unheard of herbal powder in juice.

I did some research on the web and found that this powder (the plant actually) has been there forever since the prehistoric times. It is very rich in proteins (more than soya), vitamins, minerals, amino acids and enzymes. Some studies indicate that it can cure a few infections and diseases. It is supposed to increase memory power, control diabetes, cholesterol etc

It gives instant energy and I carry a bottle of spirulina mixed juice when I go for my sports sessions in the club.

I have provided some links below which gave me some useful info about Spirulina -
