Spirulina (Spirulina Plantensis) is probably better known than chlorella, and like chlorella it is also a freshwater plant and is a complete whole food in its own right. Yes, it is a whole food and not an extract or concentrate. Just as an example of its nutritional potency, spirulina has 58 times the iron of raw spinach and 28 times that of beef liver. And it also contains more beta-carotene than any other whole food.

Spirulina is ideal if you do not want to take vitamin and mineral supplements but prefer to try and obtain your daily nutrients from foodstuffs. I think everyone agrees that the latter is the better arrangement of the two because obtaining vitamins and minerals in the form of food supplements means that they are in their natural form and combination with other nutritive factors.

It is also a rich source of antioxidants containing all known naturally occurring antioxidants. Actually the list goes on and on so I would suggest you follow the link supplied to gather more information on this natural green powerhouse.

Some people prefer to take a supplement which has been chemically manufactured in a lab where precise measurements are possible, and some people try to get their minerals, vitamins and antioxidants from food stuffs or food supplements. If you are targeting a certain area of the body such as the eyes as we are on this site, then ensure that your particular method will provide you with all the necessary nutrients required for that particular condition.
