Spirulina Galatea is a natural dietary supplement of Pure Spirulina Platensis. SPIRULINA is a cyanobacterium (single-celled organism) that reproduces in fresh water. Named for its spiral shape, it is the oldest and most complete food in the world. Spirulina Galatea is rich in PROTEIN (more than 60%), VITAMINS (A, B, C, D, E, K), CALCIUM, IRON, PHOSPHORUS, POTASSIUM, MAGNESIUM, MANGANESE, BETA-CAROTENE, OMEGA-6. It is also the only food that contains all 8 ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS that the body cannot synthesize. An important element in Spirulina Galatea is the considerable presence of PHYCOCYANIN, which has a high antioxidant potential that would be 40 times higher than that of vitamin C and vitamin E. The World Health Organization has defined Spirulina as the food of the 21st century. FAO has identified it as a solution to world hunger and NASA as an ideal food for astronauts on missions.
