Micro Algae - Sources of Life
This blue-green spiral-shaped micro alga, which can be found in strongly alkaline lakes and rivers is the absolutely natural food supplement and is rightly described as a natural protein, vitamin and mineral nutrient concentrate. Unlike many other micro algae and plants, spirulina does not have a stiff cell wall, but only a thin cell membrane. Thus, their cells can be opened easily in the gastro-intestinal tract and biologically active substances are directly accessible to the body. Due to the natural and harmonic composition of active-substance complexes of the algae, their absorption as well as their efficacy in the body is superior to synthetic mono-preparations.
Spirulina - An Ideal Food Supplement
Their strength is the wide range of offered nutrients with a remarkable offer of natural antioxidants such as, among others, B vitamins -also the exceptionally rare vegetable vitamin B12-, as well as calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, manganese, molybdenum, sodium, phosphorus, selenium, zinc, folic acid, biotin, vitamin E, beta carotene (15 times more than in carrots) as well as the high concentration of gamma linolenic acid or omega-3-fatty-acids and many other nutrients. Their high protein concentration (60% to 70%) is unique within the flora. It contains all essential and further nine amino acids. This is why it is the ideal protein supplier for all people who want to abandon animal protein. Spirulina is a proven food which has been dietarily used for centuries and for many civilized and primitive people is a protein and nutrient donor. Already appreciated by the ancient Chinese and confirmed by modern research, spirulina is rich in valuable natural substances for health and food.
Untreated, spray-dried micro algae biomass of the blue-green spirulina platensis of defined culture, in controlled quality.
With spirulina, the nature has combined vitamin, mineral-nutrient and energetic nutrients, whose nutrient density and balance is hardly unsurpassed. Even because of the nowadays wide-spread wrong and deficiency nutrition due to fast food, industrially strongly processed foodstuffs such as ready-made meals as well as due to often heated canteen and restaurant food, spirulina makes a valuable contribution to a healthy nutrition. Spirulina is an ideal food supplement, especially appropriate for vegetarians or people with protein indigestibility.
Spirulina takes an important share in a healthy nutrition, combined with vitality and staying power also in stress situations. According to scientific studies, 1 to 2 grams of spirulina powder already are enough as a supplement to the daily nutrition in order to let become feelable the varied healthy effects of spirulina.
Quality management
We have available spirulina platensis of premium quality, excellent in smell and taste. This blue-green spiral-shaped alga grows under ecologically optimal conditions and besides its special nutrient density distinguishes by its, , high carotenoid concentration -52 mg/10g (comp. Hawaii: approx. 37 mg/10g)- and chlorophyll concentration -178 mg/10g (Hawaii: approx. 79 mg/10 g) (analysis of 3rd June 2002, Lot-no.: SP-814963), which for a spirulina is quite unusual.
The development and control of our spirulina products has been done by scientists who can refer to decades of experiences in algae research. Raw materials and finished products are subject to continuous quality control by an accredited laboratory. Due to specialized production and careful hygiene a high quality standard is a natural course of action. The IGV Institut für Getreideverarbeitung (Institute for Cereal Processing), which issues analyses for us, works on the basis of a quality management system which is based on the guidelines of ISO 9000. The laboratory areas are accredited according to the quality standard DIN EN 45001.
