Yes, spirulina has many good benefits and almost complete protein that contains 18 of the 22 amino acids the body needs. Though its protein value is lacking when compared to such protein source as meat, eggs and milks, but it is of a superior quality when compared to plant protein.
One nutrient really stands out in spirulina is the chlorophyll, chlorophyll is basically the blood of plants. It is chlorophyll that allows a plant to transform light into nutrients for the plant - photosynthesis. It is chlorophyll that gives plants and algae their green pigmentation.
Human blood and "plant blood" (chlorophyll) are very similar, numerous studies have shown that chlorophyll can help grow and repair tissues*, act as a powerful antioxidant*, boost the immune system* and help maintain healthy blood function.
