DXN Spirulina

Vegetable Replacement??

Nowadays, our diet is low green leafy vegetables. Lack if Chlorophylls intake, which can be found abundant in vegetables, may lead to toxic accumulation from our daily activity and life style. Staying and working in the hustle-bustle of the city surrounded by vehicle's smoke and eating unhelathy food are harmful to our internal health and may lead to poor skin complexion and accelerate the aging process of the skin.

As an alternative source of high quality protein and green vegetables -- DXN Spirulina is a type of blue-green algae which is full of life-giving nutrients such as protein, beta carotene, chlorophyll, vitamin B complex, minerals, essential fatty acids and other important nutrients that our body needs.

NASA have done a lot of researches on spirulina and have proved to make spirulina as the best form of food for astronauts because of its ingredients.
