Organic Spirulina Powder (Spray Dried) 100g

This is 100% organic spray-dried spirulina powder in a 100g package. Spray drying is a gentler processing method that helps preserve more nutrients compared to sun-drying. The fine powder texture makes it easier to mix into liquids and smoothies. Like tablets, it contains 65-70% protein, iron, calcium, vitamins (especially B12 and provitamin A), and minerals. It supports eye health, brain function, nerve functioning, overall vitality, energy, resilience, and immune health with its dense nutrient profile.

Take 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon with warm water, once or twice daily, or as directed by your health practitioner. This equals approximately 1.25-2.5 grams per dose. The standard daily dose is 5 grams (approximately 1 teaspoon), with a maximum of 8 grams daily. The safety recommended dosage is 3-10g/day for adults. Start with lower amounts (1/4 teaspoon) and gradually increase as your body adjusts. Can be mixed into smoothies, juices, or water.

Yes, spirulina has a distinctive earthy, slightly seaweed-like taste that some find challenging. To make it more palatable: Mix into fruit smoothies (banana, mango, berries help mask the taste), blend with citrus juices, add to green smoothies with spinach and cucumber, mix with honey or maple syrup, or add to energy balls with dates and nuts. Start with small amounts (1/4 teaspoon) to get accustomed to the flavour. Some people prefer tablets specifically to avoid the taste.

Both forms provide identical nutritional benefits - the same protein content (65-70%), iron, calcium, B12, and antioxidants. Powder advantages: Can be mixed into smoothies, drinks, or food; potentially faster absorption; versatile for recipes. Tablet advantages: No taste issues; precise dosing; convenient for travel; easier for daily consistency. This 100g powder provides approximately 20-40 servings depending on dosage. Choose based on whether you prefer versatility (powder) or convenience (tablets).

Organic certification provides additional quality assurance, though safety depends on manufacturing practices. Important safety note: Some spirulina products have been found to contain potentially pathogenic bacteria and algae toxins at levels that could exceed recommended daily limits. Organic spirulina from reputable sources typically has stricter quality controls. It's still important to: choose certified organic from trusted brands, follow recommended dosages (3-10g/day), consult your doctor if you have autoimmune conditions or take medications, and avoid if you have phenylketonuria (PKU).
