What is spirulina?

Spirulina is a microscopic blue-green alga, or cyanobacterium, with the scientific name Arthrospira platensis. In nature it grows in warm, alkaline lakes, while for food it is usually cultivated in purpose-built ponds, from which the biomass is harvested, dried and ground into a fine powder. The dark green to bluish-green colour of spirulina comes from its natural pigments. As a powder, spirulina has a fairly strong and distinctive taste that not everyone enjoys, which makes tablets a convenient way to include spirulina in the daily menu without tasting it. According to the EU label, the spirulina in this product originates from India.

How to use?

Take two tablets a day with a glass of water. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. It is convenient to take the tablets at the same time every day, for example with breakfast, so that you do not forget them. If you use other products containing spirulina or other algae at the same time, take their amounts into account too. After opening, keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry place.
