Hi mischon: One gram of Spirulina contains the following amounts of essential amino acids: * 35 mg of Isoleucine * 54 mg of Leucine * 29 mg of Lysine * 14 mg of Methionine * 28 mg of Phenylalaline * 32 mg of Threonine * 9 mg of Tryptophan * 40 mg of Valine * 43 mg of Arginine * 10 mg of Histidine I found this information from Amino Acids http://www.biospirulina.com/uk/valnutri/3_uk.htm by dividing the amounts they gave per 100g by 100. I verified this information on: Spirulina http://www.parktonks.co.uk/ingredients/spirulin.htm which also states that there are other amino acids (*non-essential*), incuding: * Tyrosine @ 30 mg * Alanine @ 47-58 mg * Proline @ 27-30 mg * Serine @ 32-40 mg * Glycine @ 35-52 mg * Glutamic Acid @ 89-91 mg * Cystine @ 5-7 mg * Aspartic Acid @ 61-64 mg All this data can also be seen at Spirulina Analysis http://www.earthrise.com/ERFarmAnalysis.html though they disagree slightly on what are essential and non-essential amino acids. I hope that this information has been of help in your search. If you need any clarification of the information I have provided, please ask using the Clarification feature and provide me with additional details as to what you are looking for. As well, please allow me to provide you with clarification(s) *before* you rate this answer.
