Spirulina is a blue-green algae that gets its name from its shape, which resembles a spiral. Indeed, the name spirulina comes from the word spiral. Its health-promoting properties were appreciated a very long time ago by the Aztecs. The algae was sold by them in markets in the form of very valuable green cookies. [1]
\nSpirulina is included in the group of superfoods. In addition, it is very popular around the world due to its medicinal properties. The alga is currently cultivated in Africa and South America.
\nThe US Pharmacopeial Convention has issued a positive opinion on the use of spirulina and confirmed its safety in the diet. When buying spirulina, we should pay attention to whether the manufacturer includes the appropriate certifications, as it may otherwise be contaminated with toxic substances like aluminum.<\/p>\n
