What is Spirulina?
Spirulina is usually described as a blue-green algae, but it’s technically a cyanobacteria. Cyanobacteria get their name from the bluish pigment phycocyanin, which they use to capture light for photosynthesis. Because of this, spirulina also contains chlorophyll.
Spirulina grows in both fresh and salt water and can be consumed by both humans and animals.
