appearing way before animals roamed these lands.

These
micro-algae contain an astounding array of nutritional elements:
vitamins, macrominerals, trace minerals, essential fatty acids, protein,
nucleic acids (RNA and DNA), chlorophyll, and a vast spectrum of
phytochemicals. They are thought to contain every nutrient required by
the human body. Yes, you could literally live off these micro-algae. You
wouldn’t need to eat much, either, since they are so
nutritionally dense.

related macular degeneration etc., Studies have revealed that
antioxidants in fruits and vegetables and Spirulina have a synergistic
effect.
