Spirulina is a blue-green algae that grows in both fresh and saltwater and can be consumed by both humans and animals. This green superfood is available as a powder, flakes, or as tablets. 

Spirulina was also a primary source of protein for the Aztecs. They would harvest the spirulina from Lake Texcoco and sold the “Tecuitlatl” in cake form. Despite there not being concrete evidence, legend has it Aztec messenger runners took spirulina during their marathons.

Fertility is a complex subject that affects many people nationwide. What we eat on a day to day basis can promote or discourage our overall fertility.
