Spirulina is a microscopic spiral shaped, blue-green vegetable algae. It has been used as a significant food source for centuries. Spirulina is highly digestible and the most nutritious, concentrated whole-food known to humankind. It is nature's richest whole-food source of complete protein. Rich in GLA, it also contains important B complexes including bio-available B12 and other essential organic, whole-food minerals and trace elements.
How is it Grown?
Hawaiian Pacifica Spirulina is a specially bred strain of the edible micro-algae spirulina platensis. It is cultured in shallow, open ponds (approximately 20 cm deep) in Hawaii, adjacent to the Pacific Ocean. A combination of fresh Hawaiian aquifer (potable) water and supplemental mineral rich Deep Ocean water is used to fill the ponds.
Once the spirulina is harvested fresh from the ponds, it is imperative that the important, sensitive nutrients it contains are protected against damaging oxidation.
Spirulina Harvesting
One of the unique methods used by Cyanotech to protect against oxidation is in the drying method.
Patented Ocean-Chill Drying™ protects phytonutrients and enzymes.
Spirulina provides a wide range of delicate phytonutrients with very significant health benefits. To reduce processing losses of these delicate compounds Cyanotech have developed and patented Ocean Chill Drying™.
This is a process whereby the air used in the spray drier is put through a column of cold, deep ocean water pumped up from 2000ft. This 'rips' the oxygen from the dryer's air, exposing the spirulina to far less oxidation than with conventional spray drying, and retaining much higher levels of delicate nutrients such as beta-carotene and superoxide-dismutase than all other brands.
Tabletting
Once dried, tablets are made on the farm in Hawaii using a cold pressed process (no heat, no "wet-granulation").
Adults: One serve = 6 tablets, Use 1 – 3 serves per day.
NEW TO SPIRULINA?

When taking CAPSULES or TABLETS, always drink a large glass of fresh water and remember to keep your daily water intake at 1-2 litres.
Store below 25°C in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
