Welcome to our in-depth FAQ guide on Organic Spirulina Powder. Whether you're a health-conscious individual, formulator, or retailer, this page answers the most common questions about the sourcing, nutrition, safety, and everyday use of this popular green superfood.

What is Spirulina Powder and how is it made?

Spirulina powder is made from a nutrient-rich blue-green microalgae called Arthrospira platensis. It is harvested from clean, mineral-rich water, then gently dried and ground into powder form. The result is a fine, dark green powder packed with plant-based nutrients, suitable for both retail and professional use.

Why is your Spirulina Powder such a rich green colour?

The vibrant green colour of our spirulina powder reflects its high content of chlorophyll and phycocyanin—two potent plant pigments that also function as antioxidants. Spirulina of inferior quality may appear dull or greyish due to poor drying methods, contaminants, or over-processing.

What are the health benefits of Spirulina Powder?

  • Up to 65% complete protein with all essential amino acids
