Product Overview

Low-temperature dried Spirulina Powder delivers a potent 60 % complete protein, natural blue-green colour (phycocyanin) and essential micronutrients such as iron, vitamin B12 analogue and β-carotene in a shelf-stable, instantly dispersing form.

Botanical & Regional Info

Scientific name: Arthrospira platensis

Common names: Spirulina (English), Blaualge (German), Spiruline (French), Espirulina (Spanish), スピルリナ Supirurina (Japanese), 스피루리나 Seupirurina (Korean), 螺旋藻 Luóxuánzǎo (Chinese), स्पिरुलिना Spirulina (Hindi)

Country of origin: India 

Grade: Food grade · Dried + milled biomass (no carriers)

Shelf life: 12–18 months – store sealed, < 25 °C, < 65 % RH

How to Use

Blend 1 tsp (3 g) powder into 250 ml smoothies or sports drinks for 1.8 g complete protein and vibrant aqua hue.

Add 2 % to energy bars or granola clusters; fine 120-mesh milling disperses without gritty mouthfeel.

Whisk 0.5 g into plant latte or matcha for Instagram-worthy teal colour and antioxidant bump.

Use 1 % in pasta dough or gluten-free wraps; phycocyanin survives brief boiling, giving eye-catching green-blue noodles.

Combine 4 g with lemon juice and honey for instant immunity shots delivering 8 mg iron and 300 mg phycocyanin.

Key Benefits

Approx. 60 % complete protein containing all essential amino acids—ideal for vegan nutrition.

Rich source of phycocyanin (≈ 15 %) with antioxidant & anti-inflammatory activity.

Supplies non-heme iron (≈ 28 mg/100 g) and natural B-vitamins to support energy metabolism.

Low-temperature drying (≤ 45 °C) preserves pigments without carriers or additives.

Fine powder disperses in < 10 s; water activity < 0.25 ensures 18-month stability in foil pouches.

How does low-temperature–dried Spirulina Powder compare to whey or soy protein for muscle recovery and vegan formulating?

Spirulina biomass is roughly 60 % complete protein with a PDCAAS about 0.75—higher than oat or rice protein and close to pea (≈ 0.78). Although its leucine (5.2 g / 100 g) is lower than whey (9 g), spirulina brings unique co-factors: 28 mg non-heme iron and 15 % phycocyanin, both of which combat exercise-induced oxidative stress. In a 2021 crossover RCT (26 endurance runners) 6 g spirulina daily for four weeks boosted VO₂-max 5 % and cut post-run creatine-kinase 13 % versus iso-nitrogenous whey. A 10 g serving of our powder supplies 6 g protein, 2.8 mg iron and 1.5 g phycocyanin—enough to hit study levels by adding 15–20 g powder to a vegan RTD. Blending spirulina with pea protein raises PDCAAS to ≈ 1.0 while adding marketable blue-green branding.

Claim strength: Moderate.

Claim-strength scale – High = multiple human studies; Moderate = a few trials; Emerging = early lab data.

How heat- and pH-stable is phycocyanin in beverages or bakery?

Phycocyanin denatures irreversibly above 65 °C and at pH < 4. Cold-fill RTDs (pH 5–7) stored 12 weeks at 4 °C retained 85 % colour and antioxidant capacity. For shelf-stable juices (pH < 4) add spirulina post-pasteurisation via aseptic dosing or supply as a dry “shot” sachet. In bakery, brief baking (≤ 10 min at 180 °C) leaves 35 % pigment—enough to tint cookies aqua-green; glazing after bake preserves full colour.

Claim strength: High.

Does spirulina improve gut health by acting as a prebiotic or supporting probiotic growth?

Spirulina’s sulfated polysaccharides and polyamines appear to boost Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. A 2019 pilot (15 adults) found 5 g powder/day for 4 weeks raised bifidobacteria 15 % and cut stool pH from 6.9 to 6.6, conditions favourable for SCFA production. Larger RCTs are underway, but early data support positioning spirulina as a “post-biotic support” ingredient alongside inulin or bacillus spores.

Claim strength: Emerging.

Is spirulina’s vitamin B12 bioavailable for vegans?

Spirulina contains pseudovitamin-B12 (adeninyl-cobamide) that human intrinsic-factor cannot efficiently absorb. Therefore it should not be relied on to meet B12 RDA; fortify with methyl- or cyanocobalamin if claiming B12 support. Spirulina does, however, contribute 30 µg folate and 2.6 mg niacin per 10 g, aiding general B-complex nutrition.

Claim strength: High.

Can daily spirulina help manage blood lipids or blood pressure?

A 2022 meta-analysis of 12 RCTs (n = 568) showed 1–4 g/day spirulina for ≥ 8 weeks reduced LDL-cholesterol by 7 mg/dL and systolic BP by 4 mm Hg. Mechanisms include phycocyanin-driven antioxidant up-regulation of endothelial nitric-oxide synthase. A 4 g serve of our powder delivers the studied dose with only 14 kcal and no caffeine.

Claim strength: Moderate.

Are there safety concerns—microcystins, heavy metals, or phenylalanine—for sensitive populations?

Spirulina is rich in phenylalanine; individuals with PKU should consult healthcare providers. No allergens are mandated, but “contains spirulina (phenylalanine source)” is recommended for transparency.

Claim strength: High.
