The plant

Spirulina is cultivated from microscopic cyanobacteria, often called blue-green algae, then dried.

What's in it

Phycocyanin is a blue pigment-protein complex. Protein supplies amino acids, the building blocks used to make body proteins.

Protein

Around sixty per cent of dry weight.

Phycocyanin

The blue pigment, used commercially as a food colouring.

Chlorophyll

Overlays the blue to give the characteristic colour.

Pseudovitamin B12

An analogue humans cannot use. Not a B12 source.

How it works

Food nourishment: Spirulina contributes protein and other food components according to the serving. Colourful variety: Its concentrated colour and distinctive taste make it a versatile addition to suitable foods. A product nutrition panel shows how much a serving contributes to the diet.

In the tradition

Used as food in some regions and now cultivated for modern food supplements.

Its blue-green colour comes from more than one natural pigment.

How to use
  1. 1Stir 1–2 tsp (roughly 3–6g) spirulina powder into juice or a smoothie.
  2. 2Start with ½ tsp and build up.
  3. 3Strong marine flavour — best masked with citrus.
Suitability
  • Use contaminant-tested material.
  • Check phenylketonuria, autoimmune conditions, medicines, pregnancy and breastfeeding.

A food supplement, not a substitute for a varied diet. Speak to your doctor before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication.
