El mundo de la Espirulina
Myth 3: Spirulina is not a good source of B12 for vegans
A study shared in 1990 said that B12 from spirulina was not assimilated as B12 from animal sources, however, it has been more than 30 years since that study and things have changed. That study did not take into account either the format or the quality of the spirulina, and fresh spirulina contains B12 that is bioavailable to the human body, so this microalgae is an ideal food to complement vegan diets, helping to maintain energy and well-being.
Myth 4: Spirulina does not help with weight control
Although spirulina is not a "fat burner", its high protein content and satiating capacity can support a healthy lifestyle. By providing essential nutrients and promoting the feeling of satiety, it helps to avoid cravings and nutritional imbalances, making it an excellent complement to a balanced diet. In addition, its contribution of essential amino acids and its energizing effect can improve physical and mental performance, promoting healthy habits in the long term. A well-nourished body functions better and naturally regulates its weight.
Myth 5: Spirulina tastes bad
If there is one myth that spirulina is known for, it is that it has an intense and unpleasant taste, but this could not be further from the truth. The natural taste of spirulina is barely noticeable, as it is very mild and neutral. What really makes its taste so intense and unpleasant are the additives, colorants and heavy metals that we have found in many spirulinas sold today, especially those from Asian countries. That is why it is important to know the production methods of spirulina and the organic certificates to ensure that your spirulina is 100% natural and without any additives or colorants.
