Why spirulina?

Jordan Whiting, Nutritionist at H&B with a MSc in Sports & Exercise Nutrition, says:

"This is one of the many “Superfoods” which can give many health benefits if included in your diet. It is sourced from Algae and then dried or freeze-dried which creates the powder which is one of the most common ways to consume it.

Spirulina is a great source of B1 & B2 that can support energy levels and reduce fatigue which means you can get back to exercising in no time!"
