  1. Spirulina is a
    natural probiotic, which helps to boost friendly bacteria in your

    powder is also packed full of Chlorophyll. This is a rich green pigment

    its health benefits. Alternatively you can blend this into delicious

    and other nutrients also help to protect the brain from neurodegenerative
    diseases such as Alzheimer's. It also naturally increases cognitive
    function helping you to think more clearly and with more focus.

    has the ability to detoxify your body by removing heavy metals which may

regular dose of spirulina to detoxify these metals from your body.

powerful than carrots, spinach and berries for nutrients.
