Spirulina
 |
Spirulina
is a blue-green algae rich in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals
as well as other nutrients. It has been used as a food
supplement for more than 20 years. Spirulina contains
two-and-a-half times more vitamin B12 than liver. It is perhaps
the best botanical source of protein available. Its several
carotenoids provide antioxidant protection against free radical
damage. It is a source of essential amino acids, as well as
chelated minerals, natural plant sugars, trace minerals and
enzymes. Spirulina is easily assimilated by the body. It
is also rich in chlorophyll.
Mary Wulff-Tilford states in her
book, All you ever wanted to know about Herbs for Pets:
“A complete and digestible source of vitamin B complex,
beta-carotene, protein, and a wide variety of minerals.
Spirulina serves as an excellent nutritional supplement for
dogs, cats, and other animals.”
CJ Puotinen states in her book,
The Encyclopedia of Natural Pet Care: “Consider using any
algae product in courses, such as five days on and two days
off.”
