What is spirulina?

Spirulina is a type of marine algae with an intense green color. It is cultivated in many regions of the world—mainly in Asia, around Mexico and Hawaii, in South America, and in some parts of Africa. These areas are specially selected due to favorable climatic conditions for algae cultivation. The beneficial properties of spirulina were already known to the Aztecs. In Europe, its popularity began to increase in the 1970s.

Properties of spirulina

Spirulina is a true nutritional powerhouse. Its greatest advantage is its naturally high bioavailability—unlike chlorella, it does not have a hard cellulose cell wall, which means its valuable components are easily and quickly absorbed by the body.

• Complete source of protein: Contains as much as 60–70% complete protein, including all essential amino acids, making it an ideal addition to vegan, vegetarian, and athletic diets.

• Rich in antioxidants: A unique source of phycocyanin—a powerful antioxidant that gives it a bluish hue. Phycocyanin supports the body in combating free radicals and inflammation. Spirulina also provides beta-carotene, zeaxanthin, and chlorophyll.

• A rich source of vitamins and minerals: A natural source of easily absorbed iron, which helps fight fatigue. It also contains B vitamins (B1, B2, B3), vitamin E, potassium, zinc, and magnesium, supporting energy, the nervous system, and immunity.

• Support for vitality and cleansing: Thanks to its high chlorophyll content, spirulina supports the body’s natural detoxification processes, helps cleanse the blood, and supports proper liver function.

Spirulina — why choose the one with broken cell walls?

Spirulina, or more precisely Arthrospira platensis, is a cyanobacterium (blue‑green algae) with a naturally soft and easily assimilated cell wall. Unlike some other algae, it does not require a special wall‑breaking process because its structure is inherently delicate. However, additionally breaking the cell walls makes the nutrients even more accessible and better absorbed by the body.

• Better bioavailability — disrupting the structure of the cell wall facilitates access to the cell interior,
  which is rich in proteins, chlorophyll, phycocyanin, and trace elements.

• Greater comfort of use — for some people, the disintegrated form is gentler on the digestive system than the form with an intact cell wall.

Spirulina in Traditional Chinese Medicine

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), spirulina has a cooling effect. This means it can be particularly helpful for people with excess “heat” in the body, manifested by, among other things, a feeling of overheating, redness, irritability, or outbursts of anger.

At the same time, because spirulina supports cooling, people who tend to feel chilled, have cold hands and feet, or generally feel a lack of warmth should consume it in moderation or combine it in the diet with more warming foods (such as ginger, cinnamon, or cooked root vegetables). This helps avoid excessive cooling and maintain the body’s thermal balance.

Recommended dosage

How to use?
It is most often recommended to take 2–3 g of spirulina per day, which, in the case of 500 mg tablets, means about 4–6 tablets per day. You can start with a smaller amount (e.g., 3–4 tablets) and gradually increase it while observing your body’s response.

Serving size and timing
Spirulina can be taken at any time of day, although many people prefer to take it on an empty stomach with plenty of water to optimize absorption. You can also take it during or after a meal if your stomach is sensitive and you prefer a gentler form of supplementation. Remember that consistency is key to achieving the best results.
