Spirulina is a type of blue-green algae that grows naturally in oceans and salty lakes in subtropical climates. Already ancient Aztecs used it but it became popular again when NASA wanted to grow it on space for use by astronauts.<\/strong> The taste of spirulina is slightly savory, sea vegetable flavor. Due to its high nutritional value and health benefits, it can be called a powerful superfood.<\/strong> Spirulina algae is made into tablets or powder what for example can be used to make a drink.<\/p>\n

Health benefits<\/h3>\n

Spirulina can be called an excellent antioxidant<\/strong> that protects against oxidative damage. Antioxidants stop and regulate free radicals. Antioxidants are substances that regulate the formation of free radicals. There should be a balance between antioxidants and free radicals. If not and there are more free radicals then it can be harmful to health. Studies have shown that spirulina lowers risk of heart disease as it can lower \u201cbad\u201d LDL cholesterol while raising \u201cgood\u201d HDL cholesterol.<\/strong> High blood pressure can cause many diseases like heart attack and strokes \u2013 using spirulina can reduce it.<\/p>\n
