500g pouch
Spirulina needs no introduction: this superfood has been in the spotlight for many years due to its nutritional and immune-boosting properties. It is a star in vegetarian and vegan diets, particularly for its richness in plant-based proteins.
🟢 The characteristics of organic spirulina
Spirulina is actually a microbial organism (cyanobacteria) without a distinct nucleus. If you look closely, it has a spiral shape, which is where its name comes from. It appeared on Earth 3.5 million years ago.Years! It has developed an extraordinary resistance to survive the climate changes separating us from that era.
She is distinguished by her high content of minerals and trace elements (iron, zinc, selenium) as well as vitamins (A, B, D, E). Rich in iron, it is favored by women who are most affected by anemia. It contains 60 to 70% amino acids, which is 3 times more than lean meat !It is also rich in copper, zinc, and magnesium, which strengthen immunity and improve the body's resistance and endurance. A true weapon against temporary fatigue. It is the ideal companion for a healthy lifestyle, and for athletes, it helps boost your physical performance.
🟢 Why is our spirulina dried using spray drying ?
The convection drying methods on trays, commonly practiced in small-scale artisanal structures in France and elsewhere, have drawbacks related to the duration of the drying process. The work of Hélène Desmorieux, a doctoral student and researcher at LAGEP, a laboratory jointly supervised by the Claude Bernard University Lyon 1 and the CNRS, shows that The best drying method for optimal nutrient preservation of spirulina is spray drying, recognized by Ecocert.
> This nebulization method allows for the rapid dehydration of algae while preserving their nutritional qualities. The spirulina is sprayed into a hot chamber where it comes into contact with hot air. The temperature used during spray drying can vary, but it is generally kept below 50 ℃ to prevent the degradation of heat-sensitive nutrients and enzymes.To boost the absorption of organic spirulina powder, combine it with vitamin C (such as lemon juice).
Using spirulina in cooking is actually the best way to enjoy the benefits of this superfood all year round. There is no shortage of recipe ideas, and its intense color will give an immediate wow effect !
> Our organic spirulina is Fat-soluble, meaning it easily dissolves in a fatty preparation or liquid., and forms lumps in a liquid mostly made up of water.

The nutritional quality of organic spirulina is no longer in question.
> The antioxidants it contains in large quantities (its blue pigment, phycocyanin, and primarily beta-carotene) strengthen hemoglobin. Numerous studies have proven that white blood cells (T lymphocytes, macrophages, B cells, killer cells) are thus multiplied by the intake of spirulina! It also has the ability to reduce blood lipid levels.
Ofother studies show that it helps boost the amount of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that circulates oxygen in the blood and carries CO2 to the lungs. Correlated with its immunostimulant properties, it is a true panacea for stimulating the vitality of your body.
> Organic spirulina also promotes weight loss and helps lower blood sugar levels: a significant anti-diabetes aid! Rich in chlorophyll, it is also an excellent detoxifier, particularly for the liver, which improves digestion and regulates the bacterial flora.
> Its vitamin E content allows it to fight against free radicals, with visible effects on facial radiance and skin regeneration, as well as on the growth and strength of hair and nails.
> Organic spirulina can be consumed by pregnant women, as it is a very good support for the body during this period that requires increased energy intake (of course, always seek the advice of a healthcare professional).
> In cosmetics: Its content of vitamin E, zinc, and selenium allows it to combat oxidative stress, with visible effects on facial radiance and skin regeneration, as well as on hair regrowth and the strength of hair and nails. It stimulates hair growth and strengthens it, especially thanks to essential fatty acids and beta-carotene, in addition to all the minerals and vitamins it provides.
To make the most of its benefits, you can incorporate it into both your diet and your external care.Biovie has extensively searched for a serious and competitive international supplier of chlorella certified by Ecocert.
🟢 We have found a producer who grows spirulina in a semi-desert steppe area of Inner Mongolia (China), on a plateau at an altitude of 3000 meters, receiving more than 3000 hours of sunlight per year, thus offering ideal production conditions:
> 3000 meters above sea level
> 3000 hours of sunshine
The production area is far from major urban centers, industrial sites, and roads, and benefits from a very pure atmosphere at high altitude.
> The production basins are located in greenhouses to protect the crops from insects, airborne micro particles, and dust carried by the wind.
> The generous sunlight ensures an adequate temperature inside the greenhouses, with a wide day/night thermal amplitude favorable to the growth of microalgae.
