Hello reader,

Chlorella and Spirulina are algae used as food supplements by space travellers. Especially they are used because,

  • They both are rich source of proteins, vitamins and minerals
  • They are small and easy to cultivate
  • Chlorella produces oxygen which is helpful in space
  • Chlorella also recycles carbon dixode

Due to all this reasons, these algae are used by astronauts as food supplements.

I hope, this answers your query.
