Blue algae Spirulina platensis is attributed to the group of phytobiotics. Spirulina platensis is characterized
by a unique composition. As is reported by Kravchenko et
al., (2006), the mentioned algae is distinguished for high
protein, the composition of which is quite close to the so
called „ideal" protein concentration. Spirulina platensis
itself is a concentrated source of beta carotene and other
carotenes, vitamins of B group, biotine, pholio and
pantotene acids, and iron. In the composition of Spirulina
platensis structural polysaccharides prevail, and there is
no cellulose in the cell walls; this fact is responsible for
good digestibility and assimilation of the preparation.
