Nutricost Spirulina 500mg
by Nutricost
"240 spirulina capsules at 500mg — the nutrient-dense blue-green algae superfood at Nutricost's budget price"
Overview
Nutricost Spirulina provides 500mg of spirulina per capsule (3g per 6-capsule serving), one of the most nutrient-dense foods on Earth. Spirulina is a blue-green algae that contains 60-70% protein by weight, all essential amino acids, B vitamins, iron, and the unique antioxidant phycocyanin (which gives it the blue-green color). Studies show spirulina can reduce LDL cholesterol, lower blood pressure, improve allergy symptoms, and enhance endurance. At 240 capsules for under $16, Nutricost offers one of the most affordable spirulina options.
