Spirulina Powder

Nutritional Value

Spirulina, also known as blue-green algae, derives its name from its spiral shape observed under a microscope. Naturally thriving in sunlit, warm, alkaline waters of tropical and subtropical regions, spirulina is rich in proteins, essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, and β-carotene, offering comprehensive nutritional benefits. Its high nutritional value has earned it recognition as a premier health supplement of the 21st century.

Notably, spirulina contains significant levels of γ-linolenic acid (GLA) and phycocyanin, compounds less common in other plants. Beyond its high protein content, it is abundant in vitamin B12 and bioavailable iron, making it an excellent source of nutrients, particularly for vegetarians seeking to supplement proteins and other nutrients less prevalent in plant-based diets.

Extraction Process

Vedan Biotechnology oversees the entire cultivation process of spirulina, from microalgae breeding to large-scale production. Utilizing natural sunlight to enhance photosynthesis, the cultivation process boosts the active components in spirulina, ensuring a rich nutrient profile. Post-harvest, the algae undergo a five-stage purification process before being spray-dried into a fine powder, guaranteeing consistent quality and production capacity.

Scientific Validation

Certified as a health food product, animal studies have demonstrated that spirulina consumption may help reduce serum total cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
