Spirulina(Arthrospira Platensis) is a blue-green algae that thrives in warm, nutrient-rich waters. Itis consumedsince antiquityfor the countless virtues it has for healthso much so that today it is considered a superfood containing Protein, Beta-carotene, Iron and Vitamin B12.
Spirulina is good for everyone: young children, adolescents, active people, sportspeople, seniors, pregnant or breastfeeding women, vegetarians, etc.
We are pleased to provide you with spirulina100% natural and organic, directly from the farm to your plate. She introduces herselfin tablet formand isfrom French artisanal farming farms without any additives and untreatedto guarantee you a top quality finished product.
Two different formats are available: 120 or 240 tablets.
Spirulina(Arthrospira Platensis) organic and natural is a blue algae that grows in warm, nutrient-rich waters. Itis consumedsince antiquityfor the countless virtues it has for healthso much so that today it is considered a superfood, it is aa real concentrate of vitalitywhich deserves to be known and consumed.
ORGANIC AND NATURAL SPIRULINA FROM FARM TO PLATE
We have selected a spirulina from France,from French artisans who are members of the French spirulina federation,founded in 2009 and whose objective is to bring together and promote organic and natural spirulina while ensuring quality and transparency for the consumer.
They producewithout any treatment or additives, spirulina is grown without pesticides in a healthy environment and in an artisanal way in order to guarantee you a 100% natural product. The production season extends from April to October, because spirulina needs sun and heat to flourish. They cultivate it in shallow ponds in greenhouses.
90% of the spirulina consumed in Europe and Switzerland comes from foreign industrial sites (China, USA, Mongolia, Mexico, etc.), and the remaining 10% comes from spirulina farms which have been growing steadily for around ten years.
Composition and benefits:
Here isthe 4 nutrients it containsin greater quantities than any other plant or animal food known to date on Earth:
- Proteins(65% digestible to 92%), containing the 20 amino acids essential for the proper functioning of the human body
- Beta-carotene, (precursor of vitamin A)
- Iron
Vitamin B12
Protein, beta-carotene and iron are the three greatest deficiencies suffered by the world population. The fact that spirulina has concentrated them in such proportions would be enough to make it known to all.
Organic and natural spirulina has three pigments that allow it to benefit from a broad light spectrum to carry out the photosynthesis necessary for its development and growth:
- Beta-carotene (pink)
- Chlorophyll (green)
- Phycocyanin (blue), characteristic of this family of cyanobacteria of which spirulina is a part and which is a highly sought-after immune system stimulant.
The chemical composition of spirulina varies depending on the strains, cultivation, drying and packaging conditions.The data used to produce the table below are:from our spirulina, analyzed by independent laboratories.Note that spirulina is composed of other elements, and this table only lists the main ones.
Nutrients Per 5 g of spirulina % recommended daily dose
- Protein 3.3 g
- C-phycocyanin 717 mg
- Crude phycocyanins 1120 mg
- Beta-carotene 7 mg 900%
- Iron 2.5 mg 18%
- Vitamin K 0.016 mg 20.5%
- Vitamin B12 0.45 µg 18%
- Vitamin B1 0.18 mg 16%
- Vitamin B2 0.15 mg 10%
- Manganese 0.11 mg 5.5%
- Phosphorus 34 mg 5%
- Magnesium 9 mg 2.5%
Proteins
Contribute to increasing and maintaining muscle mass, but also to maintaining normal bones.
Phycocyanins
A powerful immune system stimulant that prevents oxidative stress in muscles. It is a particularly colorful protein that displays beautiful blue pigments. It is the very origin of the photosynthesis of spirulina, also known as blue algae.
Beta-carotene / Vitamin A
Contributes to normal iron metabolism, the maintenance of mucous membranes, the maintenance of normal skin and vision. It also promotes the proper functioning of the immune system and plays a role in the process of cell specialization.
The iron
Contributes to energy metabolism and ensures normal cognitive function, it is necessary for the formation of red blood cells as well as the synthesis of hemoglobin allowing the normal transport of oxygen in the body. It helps ensure normal functioning of the immune system and helps reduce fatigue.
Vitamin K
Contributes to normal blood clotting and the maintenance of normal bone density.
Vitamin B12
Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal functioning of the nervous system, and normal homocysteine metabolism. It contributes to normal psychological functions, the formation of red blood cells, the normal functioning of the immune system, and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It plays a role in the process of cell division.
Vitamin B1 or thiamine
Contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and normal functioning of the nervous system. It contributes to normal psychological functions and normal cardiac function.
In conclusion, we can see that our spirulina is a very rich and very complete food with an exceptional composition, except for vitamin C, iodine and omega 3. These can be provided by citrus fruits (vitamin C) and oily fish (iodine, omega 3).
Spirulina's cell walls are free of cellulose, making it highly digestible, raw or dried.
So who is spirulina good for? For the whole family: young children, teenagers, active people, athletes, seniors, pregnant or breastfeeding women, vegetarians, etc.
Directions for use and dosage:
For those who like the virtues of spirulina, but not necessarily its taste or who really want to dose spirulina for a cure or sports training, there are tablets (cold-ground and air-compressed spirulina powder without any additives) which are dosed at 500 mg.
In this form, you only need to consume the equivalent of 3 g, or six tablets per day, accompanied by a glass of water or fruit juice, preferably in the morning or at noon.
As mentioned above, spirulina is a food that activates circulation and stimulates intestinal transit. It is recommended that if you have never eaten it, you start gradually to avoid possible bloating (this happens to one in 10 people, lasts only two days in any case and is normal).
Then start with two tablets on the first day and gradually increase to six tablets per day.
Spirulina tablets should be stored in their sachet, away from light and humidity.
THEfood supplementsare not a substitute for a varied diet. It is not recommended to exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of young children.
