Biotraxx Hawaii Spirulina micro algea Arthrospira platensis 200 g – 400 tabs

Biotraxx Hawaiian Spirulina Pacifica

is a specially bred strain of the edible microalgae Spirulina platensis. It is cultured in shallow, open ponds (approximately 20 cm deep) adjacent to the Pacific Ocean. A combination of fresh water and supplemental deep ocean water is used to fill the ponds. The other major components required for growing Spirulina Pacifica are food-grade baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and carbon dioxide. Food grade natural fertilizers are used and the deep sea water is added as a rich source of minerals and trace elements. Paddle wheels agitate the water, ensuring even exposure of the algae to the sun for optimal growth and nutritional value.

Spirulina is a whole food, suitable for vegans. It is not a medicine or vitamin supplement. It is intended for overall food nutrition and is not recommended for the treatment of any illness or disease. If you have an illness please consult your doctor or other health professional.

Cheap brands of Spirulina or wild harvested Spirulina can absorb pollutants and heavy metals from the water it grows in, therefore it important that you purchase Spirulina such as ours, that is grown in completely free, pollutant free water and is certified as safe to eat.
