Spirulina Powder
Select sizeThe 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.
