Spirulina   is simply  the  world’s most  digestible  natural  source  of  high   quality  protein,  far  surpassing the  protein bio availability of even beef  ( which  most  people  consider  to  be  th e  #1 source   of  protein ). The  digestive  absorption  o f  each  gram   of  protein  in  spirulina  is   four  times  greater  than  the  same  gram  of    protein   in   beef.  And   since   spirulina   already   contains   three    times   more   protein  ( by  weight )  to   begin   with,   the   net result is   that  , ounce   for   ounce, spirulina   offers   twelve   times   more  digestible   protein     than   beef.  That’s   an astounding   difference.

 It   means     that   spirulina   is   the   ideal  food  source   for   people   working  to  get   more  protein   into  their diets : 

•   People on low-carb, high-protein diets.

•  People who exercise vigorously or engage in strength training.

• People who are frail, who have trouble gaining weight, or who are malnourished.

In   fact,   there’s   probably   no  better single food  source  on  the  planet  than  spirulina  for  these  people.  The  protein   found   in  spirulina   is  also   a complete  protein,  meaning   that   it  contains  all eight  essential   amino acids, unlike  beans, whole   grains   and other  plant- based   foods   that   typically   lack  one  or  more  amino acids.
