Live Spirulina contains micronutrients and active compounds that boost the activity of white blood cells which increase the production of antibodies needed to boost immunity. It has been shown to play a key role in brain health. Studies have shown improved performance on maths tests, reduce mental fatigue, and improve language and cognitive skills and the intellectual status of school children. Studies also have shown that it may prevent memory loss, a key element of a successful learning experience for children.

Live Spirulina is easy for any child to drink daily as the shots taste delicious. Alternatively, the frozen stix can be added to soups, yogurts, used as a dip or spread on bread.

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY + ALLERGY

Live Spirulina contains a blue pigment called phycocyanin which is a potent antioxidant and has extensive anti-inflammatory proprieties. Spirulina prevents the release of histamine by immune cells thus reducing inflammation and is anti-allergy. Studies have shown that taking Spirulina protects against rhinitis (hay fever), reducing symptoms of itching, sneezing and nasal congestion.
