Spirulina
Buy Spirulina – Blue-Green Algae as Tablets & Powder
Spirulina is a microscopically small blue-green algae (cyanobacterium) and is one of the oldest life forms on Earth. It grows in warm, alkaline waters and naturally contains plant protein, chlorophyll and its characteristic blue-green pigment phycocyanin. In this category you'll find spirulina from Scheunengut grown under controlled cultivation – vegan, lab-tested and pure.
Origin & Production
Spirulina is cultivated in controlled water basins, often in sun-rich locations such as Australia or Asia. After harvesting, the biomass is gently dried and then ground into powder or pressed into tablets. A related freshwater algae is chlorella; the two are often offered together and grouped under the algae category.
Standardisation & Form
Spirulina is classically available as pressed tablets or as pure powder to stir into smoothies and drinks. Look for clear information on content and the daily serving in grams. It's often combined with chlorella or offered as part of a wider range including barley grass and other green superfoods.
