Celebrities are renowned for their controversial methods of weight management, but many are now taking a natural supplement that has repeatedly been found to assist with weight control.
Spirulina is a blue-green algae that has existed for over 3.6 billion years and is recognised as one of the most nutritious plant forms on the planet.
Containing more than 100 vitamins, minerals and trace elements, spirulina also helps to cleanse the body.
According to Dr Earl Mindell's Vitamin Bible, spirulina is "a natural, easily assimilated, complete protein".
"It's nature's highest source of chlorophyll pigment, rich in such chelated minerals as iron, calcium, zinc, potassium and magnesium, a fine source of vitamin A and B-complex vitamins, and it contains phenylalanine, which acts on the brain's appetite centre to decrease hunger pangs while also keeping your blood sugar at the proper level," Dr Mindell wrote.
Spirulina supplements may therefore be beneficial for natural weight control as part of a healthy, balanced diet.
