Spirulina Azteca Ingredients
Spirulina Azteca includes the following ingredient: 100% Pure Spirulina Azteca Powder.
Product Features
Spirulina Azteca contains a powder of the fresh-water growing algae Spirulina, a plant which contains high concentrations of amino acids (more than 50% protein), B vitamins, chlorophyll, and other vitamins (A, K and E), and minerals (Iron, Zinc, Copper, Selenium, etc). Spirulina is hence sometimes referred to as a superfood. Research indicates benefits on the immune system, with detoxification and with supporting liver function. Due to the content of vitamins with potential antioxidant effect, the B vitamins, and fatty acids, Spirulina enjoys increased attention as a mental health and cognitive function enhancer.
Evidence shows that the algae may have a positive effect on mental awareness, memory, and nervous system protection as a result of its antioxidant effects. Several trials on animals seem to indicate Spirulina supplementation may help protect the brain from dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Other uses being investigated include PMS, depression, anxiety disorders, neuropathic pain, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and many more.
Spirulina adverse effects are generally mild and usually occur when people suffer from an underlying condition. Such side effects include fever, gastrointestinal problems, and edema.
Adults are recommended taking 1 to 6 tablespoons of powder of Spirulina Azteca daily. The majority of consumers report increased quality and satisfaction with using the formula.

Conclusion

The alga is packed with nutrients including proteins, more than 100 hundred vitamins, minerals, amino-acids and enzymes. Spirulina Azteca received several positive reviews, with consumers claiming the product does what it is advertised. Also, the formula comes in the form of a dissolvable powder, which gives consumers numerous administration possibilities. To the formula’s potential success contributes the fact that it is organically grown and carefully processed to preserve most of its nutritional elements.

Hi there,
I just purchased the 500g Spirulina Azteca powder but I am wondering how much water do I need to use. It says : for adult use 1 to 6 tablespoon daily… I assume tablespoon with lower case t means coffee spoon
Size right ? And finally I want to know how much for every tablespoon?
Thank you so much for the infos.

Mek
I’ve been using Spirulina Aztec for more than 4 years; I’m so satisfied with it. My health is great!
Spirulina Azteca is a great quality product. I love that Spirulina is organically grown and I don’t have to worry about pesticides and environmental toxins. Sure, the taste is not great, but I can handle it.
