Spirulina is a blue-green algae that has grown popular in recent times. It is called a superfood due to its high nutritional content.

This supplement is loaded with nutrients including protein, minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants. Since it requires very less water, land, and livestock to produce energy and protein, it is preferred by astronauts in space as dietary support in long-term space flights or Mars missions.

It can be consumed as a whole food or as a supplement. The supplements are generally taken in the form of capsules or powder added to juice, water, or smoothies.

Spirulina contains Arginine which is required for sports injuries.
