Products - Nutraceuticals > Spirulina
Hawaiian Spirulina from Cyanotech is a micro-algae that is high in all-vegetable protein, rich in beta carotene, iron, vitamin B-12 and the rare, essential fatty acid, GLA. It offers a striking profile of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients.

Spirulina beta carotene is ten times more concentrated than carrots. Spirulina also has the broad range of amino acids, along with iron.

Spirulina contains the essential fatty acid Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which is an essential component of breast milk.

Scientists are discovering the benefits of polysaccharides, sulfolipids and glycolipids, and the rainbow of natural pigments that give spirulina a deep green colour. Green (chlorophyll), blue (phycocyanin) and orange (carotenoids) colours collect the sun's energy and power growth. Chlorophyll is a natural cleanser and is often referred to as nature's green magic.

In March 2009 Cyanotech published the results of nutritional comparison testing of Hawaiian Spirulina Pacifica®.
