Description
Spirulina is basically a type of blue-green algae that grows in both salt and fresh water. It is a spiral-shaped microalgae that grows naturally in the wild in warm, fresh water lakes. Spirulina's deep blue-green color is what gives the water its greenish hue. It is commonly found in several forms: tablets — which are chewable, fine powder, flakes, and pills or capsules.
