Alkaline Super Foods: Spirulina

Spirulina is a blue-green algae and one of the most well-known alkaline superfoods. It’s a highly nutritious, protein-rich supplement that’s especially popular in detox and plant-based wellness routines.

What Is Spirulina?

Spirulina (commonly Arthrospira platensis) is a type of cyanobacteria grown in freshwater or saltwater. It’s usually sold in powder or tablet form and is recognized for its deep green-blue color due to chlorophyll and phycocyanin content.

It contains:

  • Over 60% complete protein

  • Essential amino acids

  • Iron, B vitamins (including B12 analogs), and magnesium

  • Antioxidants and omega-6 fatty acids (like GLA)
