Raw Seaweed: Irish Spirulina

Raw Organic Irish Spirulina Seaweed Enteromorpha Spirulina is organically grown and harvested along the west coast of Ireland (Co. Donegal or Aran Islands Co. Galway), where it is carefully monitored and immediately processed fresh or gently dried.

The Raw Organic Irish Spirulina that we sell at Nutri-Health is very similar to the popular spirulina variety sold in health shops. But, this Spirulina is growing wild in our ocean and is not powdered or grown artificially under special conditions.

• Wild and naturally growing
• Special chlorophyll content makes it suitable for any weight loss program
• A good nutritional boost for pets - great mixed into horses feed too!
• All packages show the date and place of harvesting and provide full analysis
• Organic vegan and pesticide free

For thousands of years, our forefathers fed on a diet of edible seaweed. They roamed the earth, shorelines and harvested what turned out to be the deepest secret to super health and long life.  

Seaweed is the most nutritious vegetable that we could eat, and now Experts Agree that Seaweed Can Be Officially Categorised as a Superfood! New studies are showing the seaweed can help with weight loss and obesity. 

Seaweed is the world’s most basic yet complete food - it feeds and supports every cell, tissue and organ in your body!

Sea vegetables contain key minerals not found anywhere else in plant form, and as the body more easily absorbs the protein found in ocean vegetables than meat protein, it makes it one of nature’s best anti-ageing foods.
