Organic Spirulina Powder | Plant Protein Superfood

Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) is a natural blue-green microalgae that has been consumed as a nutritional powerhouse for over 500 years. This spiral-shaped organism harnesses energy from sunlight through photosynthesis, creating one of the most nutrient-dense foods available to humans.

The Original Superfood:

Long before modern superfoods became trendy, ancient Aztec civilisations and African communities recognised spirulina's exceptional nutritional value. Today, this time-tested algae is cultivated in controlled, pure freshwater pools and carefully dried to preserve its rich nutritional profile.

Spirulina Powder Benefits - A Nutritional Powerhouse:

Exceptional Protein Content:
With an extraordinary 66% protein by weight, organic spirulina powder stands as one of the most protein-dense plant foods on earth. This makes it exceptional for anyone seeking plant-based protein, whether you're vegan, vegetarian, or simply looking to diversify your protein sources. The protein in spirulina contains all essential amino acids, making it a complete protein source.

Iron-Rich Superfood:
Spirulina provides an impressive 57mg of iron per 100g – supporting normal red blood cell formation, oxygen transport throughout the body, and helping reduce tiredness and fatigue. This makes it particularly valuable for those following plant-based diets or anyone concerned about maintaining healthy iron levels.

Vitamin & Mineral Abundance:
Our organic spirulina powder delivers:

• Vitamin A (1204μg per 100g): Supports vision, immune function, and skin health
• Vitamin K1 (805μg per 100g): Essential for blood clotting and bone health
• B Vitamins: Including riboflavin (B2), vitamin B6, and folic acid (B9) for energy metabolism and nervous system function
• Magnesium (306mg per 100g): Supports muscle function, bone health, and energy production
• Chromium (41μg per 100g): Helps maintain normal blood glucose levels
• Manganese (1.9mg per 100g): Supports bone formation and antioxidant defence

Comprehensive Health Support:

The micronutrients in spirulina powder contribute to numerous authorised health benefits:

• Reduction of tiredness and fatigue
• Normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin
• Normal muscle function and protein synthesis
• Normal cognitive function and psychological well-being
• Maintenance of normal bones, teeth, and vision
• Normal function of the immune system

• Electrolyte balance and blood glucose regulation
• Normal functioning of the nervous system

High Fibre, Zero Sugar:
With 8.9g of fibre per 100g and zero grams of sugar, spirulina supports digestive health and provides sustained nutrition without blood sugar spikes.

Antioxidant Protection:
Spirulina contains phycocyanin, the blue pigment that gives it its distinctive colour. This powerful antioxidant helps protect cells from oxidative stress and supports overall cellular health.

Organic spirulina powder's mild, slightly earthy taste makes it surprisingly versatile. Here's how to incorporate this nutritional powerhouse into your daily routine.

Recommended Dosage:

We recommend 3-5g of spirulina powder per day. Start with a smaller amount (1-2g) if you're new to spirulina and gradually increase to allow your body to adjust. Always consult your doctor before taking any nutrient-dense supplements, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions.

Smoothies & Protein Shakes:

The most popular and delicious way to enjoy spirulina. Add 1 teaspoon (approximately 3g) to your favourite smoothie. The vibrant blue-green colour creates stunning emerald or ocean-blue smoothies. Spirulina pairs beautifully with:

• Banana, mango, and pineapple for tropical smoothies
• Berries and spinach for antioxidant-rich blends
• Avocado and coconut for creamy green smoothies
• Protein powder and nut butter for post-workout recovery

Fresh Juices:

Stir spirulina powder into fresh vegetable juices, green juices, or fruit juices. The powder dissolves easily in liquids. Try mixing with apple juice, orange juice, or green vegetable blends for a nutrient boost.

Yogurt & Breakfast Bowls:

Mix spirulina into yogurt, porridge, overnight oats, or smoothie bowls. The protein content makes it an excellent addition to breakfast, supporting sustained energy throughout the morning. Top with fresh fruit, nuts, and seeds for a complete meal.

Energy Balls & Snacks:

Incorporate spirulina into homemade energy balls, protein bars, or healthy snacks. Combine with dates, nuts, seeds, coconut, and natural nut butter for nutritious, on-the-go treats packed with 66% protein power.

Baking & Cooking:

Add spirulina to pancake batter, muffins, bread, or energy bars for a protein and nutrient boost. The mild flavour won't overpower baked goods, whilst the vibrant colour creates visually striking creations.

Water & Simple Drinks:

For purists, simply stir spirulina powder into water or add to herbal teas. Whilst the flavour is more noticeable this way, many people enjoy the natural, earthy taste once accustomed to it.

Usage Tips:

• Start with small amounts (1-2g) and increase gradually
• Mix thoroughly to prevent clumping
• Combine with naturally sweet ingredients to balance the earthy flavour
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
• Best consumed in the morning or early afternoon for sustained energy

Spirulina may contain naturally occurring sulphites. If you have sulphite sensitivity, please consult with a healthcare professional before use. Always follow the recommended dosage and speak with your doctor if pregnant, nursing, or taking medications.
