The Nutritional Power of Algae

Algae, the first life on Earth, offers incredible healing properties. Macroalgae, like seaweed, is high in fiber but low in nutrition, while microalgae, like spirulina and chlorella, are microscopic and packed with nutrients. Spirulina, for instance, is rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals, providing sustained energy at a cellular level. Microalgae's concentrated nutrients make it a potent and essential food source.
