Episode 2: Super Spirulina with Damien Stephan
The protein of the future and the most nutrition-packed food on the planet with the highest concentration of protein and iron of any food, it’s no wonder NASA and ESA are studying these blue-green algae for farming on Mars. We discuss all the nutritional benefits of consuming spirulina, including how it’s the planet's highest source of protein and iron, numerous amino acids and potent antioxidants. Spirulina is the true fountain of youth!
We interview Damien Stephan of “Spirulina Côte d’Azur”, a farmer in Grasse, France who makes the most delicate, pleasant-tasting spirulina pellets either of us have ever tasted. Learn what it is, how it's made and what it can do for your energy levels.
Remember, this is purely educational and you should always speak with your doctor before starting a new diet regime.
