Spirulina (blue-green algae) is regarded as one of the planets most nutrient dense foods. It contains greater protein bio-availability than meat and also increases blood oxygen concentration by boosting nitric oxide production. In addition, spirulina may extend life expectancy from its natural anti-aging, anti-cancer, and cell protective characteristics.
