Get to know spirulina

Spirulina(Arthrospira maxima) is a unicellular cyanobacterium, one of the first forms of life. Approximately 3.6 million years ago, it began releasing oxygen, slowly creating today's atmosphere. Although we generally refer to it as an "alga", botanically it is classified as a blue cyanobacteria.

The interesting thing about spirulina is that at first glance, its colour looks like green. But with prolonged exposure to sunlight, the green chlorophyll breaks down to reveal blue dyes called phycobilins. Like chlorophyll, these biologically active substances have a number of beneficial effects on the human body.

In its natural state, it can be found mainly in warm tropical seas. In the past, long before it was cultivated, it was a food source for cultures in Mexico and Africa. In the 20th century it was scientifically investigated as a possible alternative source of nutrients.

Today it is cultivated in large freshwater ponds. It is then dried at low temperatures and mechanically processed into powder. Our organic spirulina contains an average of 60% protein and a wide range of vitamins, minerals and other phytonutrients.

What it helps with

• It helps people prone to anaemia because it contains iron and vitamin B6, which contribute to the normal production of red blood cells and haemoglobin. This also improves the body's oxygenation.
• Thanks to its beneficial chlorophyll (a green plant dye) content, it promotes the production of haemoglobin.
• It contributes to normal blood clotting due to its vitamin K content.
• Contributes to the reduction of fatigue and exhaustion thanks to the interplay of iron and vitamin B6.
• The iron contained in spirulina contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
• Contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system (thanks to the content of a wide range of B vitamins).
• Contributes to the normal function of the thyroid gland thanks to its iodine content.

STORY of our spirulina

Our spirulina is cultivated on Hainan Island (Hainan) in the South China Sea, where the conditions are ideal for its cultivation. Here, in tanks of fresh fresh water and under daily quality control, it draws its energy from the sunshine, which is abundant all year round.

As well as the method of cultivation, the processing technology is equally important for the cyanobacteria. It must be both gentle and high quality so that our bodies can benefit from its natural wealth. Spirulina is dried using gentle methods into a powder, which is either packed directly or pressed into tablets without the addition of any additives.

Thanks to the conditions in which our spirulina is produced, it retains a truly exceptional delicate taste and pleasant aroma.

One of the important properties of spirulina is its ability to bind heavy metals. Therefore, it also has great properties in detoxifying the body. At the same time, however, this also means that spirulina can potentially be contaminated with heavy metals when grown in congested areas. That is why we only offer spirulina in organic quality. In addition, we regularly check the purity - we carry out independent laboratory analyses for heavy metals, moulds and residual pesticides on every batch. Vitalvibe Spirulina BIO is therefore completely safe and pure.
