Spirulina? A plant-based dietary supplement well scientifically studied.

Spirulina platensis is a nutrient-rich supplement, a blue-green cyanobacteria.

Spirulina platensis is a nutrient-rich supplement, a blue-green cyanobacteria.

Spirulina platensis is blue-green algae belong to the family of Oscillatoriaceae in the shape of a spiral coil, living both in the sea and freshwater. It contains various essential nutrients. It contains one of the highest protein content of 70% where 18, out of 22, essential amino acids are available. It is popular vegetarian source of complete protein. Genus S. platensis which have applications in healthy foods, animal feed, therapeutics, and diagnostics.

Spirulina has been used as food and nutritional supplements since a long time. It is generally a rich source of protein, vitamins, essential amino acids, minerals, essential fatty acids such as ã-linolenic acid and sulfolipid

Spirulina is a natural source of valuable bioactive substances with health properties.

Spirulina is a natural alkaliser agent, rich in antioxidants (chlorophyll, phycocyanin, carotenoids, tocopherols). Spirulina contains high levels of proteins, incl. all essential amino acids, vitamins A, B’s, E, C, minerals (incl. Iron), Omega 3 fatty acids, and fibers. Spirulina is a natural source of valuable bioactive substances with positive effects on sugar metabolism, enhancing the action of insulin.

Powered by antioxidants, Spirulina counteracts secondary effects resulting from oxidative stress in diabetic patients. Spirulina improves the lipid metabolism (4 months minimum).

Spirulina is a natural source of valuable bioactive substances with health properties.

This makes Spirulina an excellent supplement for people with overweight, with insulin resistancy, with diabetes, and with light to moderate dyslipidemia.

Only a safe and pure Spirulina can bring all expected health benefits

Health properties

  • Detoxification : Spirulina can bind and excrete heavy metals but being a cyanobacteria with no cell wall, to a less extend than Chlorella
  • Intestinal Health : Spirulina enhances gut microbiota
  • Weight management, metabolism support : Spirulina is a natural source of valuable bioactive substances with positive effects on sugar metabolism, enhancing the action of insulin. Spirulina counteracts secondary effects resulting from oxidative stress in diabetic patients. Spirulina improves the carbohydrate and lipid metabolism (4 months minimum), supports weight loss. Its anti-inflammatory effects contribute to the protection of the cardiovascular system.
  • Immuno-modulation : Spirulina protects from allergy rhinitis
  • Superfood : Spirulina supports fatigue and helps during fasting. Spirulina brings plant-based protein, amino-acids to vegetarians and vegans diets, elderly and teens. Rich in iron and zinc, it counteracts anaemia, maintains performance levels, helps muscle building, recovery process to vegans and non vegans athletes.
  • Anti-inflammatory properties : Spirulina rich in anti-oxidants: chlorophyll, carotenoids,( lutein, phycocyanin, beta-carotein, zeaxanthin), tocopherols.
  • Nutritional deficiency gap : Spirulina fills up the nutritional deficiency gap. Spirulina contains high levels of plant-based proteins, including all essential amino acids, vitamins A, B’s, E, C, minerals (including Iron), Omega 3 fatty acids, and fibers. Attention: the form of vitamin B12 contained in Spirulina is not bioavailable.

Exclusive artesian water source

Active Cells Spirulina is fed with pristine spring water that is right underneath the algae farm. Amazingly very pure and well mineralized. The ice age map of northern Germany indicates that the water source was enclosed during the expansion of the ice sheets from Scandinavia and the north pole. The eco-friendly environmental aspect is particularly remarkable.

Multi-awarded photobioreactor

Multi-awarded photobioreactor

Around 600 litres of a solution made of nutrients and spirulina starter culture get pumped through the tubular aquarium, the Spirulina can then grow and go through the 500km of glass-tubes. The flow conditions are ideal and create an optimal photosynthesis. A heating and refrigerating system guarantees the optimal temperature for growth.

100% protection from contaminations

No possible contaminants from the outside can get into the Active Cells Spirulina culture, and zero contaminants from the water used neither. In conventional form of cultivation like open ponds of concrete or plastic foil, the spirulina can be exposed to rain water pollution, microorganisms from birds or insects, dust particles. Toxins can also accumulate from the pond in the algae biomass, contamination can come from the growth of cyanobacterias which can produce toxins (microcystines).
