In fact, they are being deemed the most nutrient dense superfood on the planet. But are they truly the ultimate superfoods we've been led to believe, or is their reputation overstated? You’re about to find out!
We will explore the science behind Chlorella and Spirulina to determine whether they live up to the hype as the most nutrient dense superfood, what their benefits are, how you would use them, and how to properly source your algae.
