Spirulina is the dried biomass of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) that can be consumed by humans and animals. A blue-green algae that is rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, carotenoids, and antioxidants that can help protect cells from damage.

Spirulina is the dried biomass of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) of the genus Arthrospira, mainly A. platensis and A. maxima. The genus was once classed as Spirulina, which is where the trade name comes from. We supply it as a powder for food and drink producers, supplement packers, and poultry, aquarium and aquaculture feed.
Dried spirulina is about 57% protein, 24% carbohydrate, 8% fat and 5% water, and it is a rich source of B vitamins and iron. It contains phenylalanine, so people with phenylketonuria should avoid it. We sell it as a raw ingredient and make no health claims; labelling of finished products is the packer's responsibility. Other food ingredients are in our food additive range.
