Spirulina belongs to an ancient class of freshwater algae found in many lakes on the planet. Through photosynthesis, algae and plankton convert sunlight into pure protein, fatty acids, carbohydrates, vitamins, RNA and DNA, polysaccharides, a wide spectrum of antioxidants and almost all other nutrients essential to life.
Spirulina consists of 65-71% protein, the highest concentration found in any food. Contains all 8 essential amino acids and 18 amino acids in total.
It is rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, E and K.
It is also an abundant source of chlorophyll, salts, phytonutrients and enzymes.
It is anti-inflammatory, anti-allergy and helps to improve physical and sports performance.

It contains as much iron as red meat and is rich in chlorophyll, stimulating blood creation.

Just Vegan is an independent web store bringing vegan affordable goods to people and other animals all over the world.
We're always searching for products that are best for your health, less damaging for the environment and more ethical.
As an independent store we have no ties with any brands and will dynamically continue to replace products by others that are better and offer further ethical and environmental advances. This fits with our no compromise policy.
We welcome all your feedback, including warning us of any mistake or lack of information on the website and informing us of any ethical issues with a company or product we sell.
How we choose the products we sell:
* Must be vegan and as such not tested on animals
* Foods must not have hydrogenated fat or palm even if organic and RSPO certified. Although we reject palmitic acid based soaps, some personal hygiene and cosmetic products may have palm derivatives as the quantities are usually minimal and it's a difficult task to know if some ingredients are palm derived or not
https://www.withcompassion.com.au/alternate-palm-oil-names
Products without the "Palm free" label don't necessarily contain a palm derivative. It might be the case that we still haven't found out if any of the ingredients is derived from palm.
* Preference for organic
* Less sugars, mainly cane sugar
* Preference for social responsibility certified, like Fairtrade
* Less food miles
* Less packaging
With all these attributes being considered we take into account the opinion of our customers about the products' taste and performance.
