Production & Sourcing

Spirulina is a type of blue-green algae that has been consumed by people for centuries because of its numerous health benefits. It is a complete protein source, containing all the essential amino acids needed by the human body. It is also high in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making it a popular superfood.

Spirulina is typically grown in open-air ponds in warm, sunny climates. The algae are grown in large, shallow tanks where they are constantly stirred to ensure exposure to sunlight for photosynthesis. The algae are fed a nutrient-rich solution made up of minerals and organic compounds. Once the growth cycle is complete, the algae are harvested and dried to create a powder or flakes.
