Organic Spirulina - 500 mg - 300 tablets

The Origins of Spirulina It is native to regions located near the tropics, or even the equator, where temperatures are high enough for it to thrive. It is particularly at home in India, but also in South America and certain African countries. It is not a marine algae, but a freshwater algae, which can be found in the wild in certain lakes, particularly in the Chad region. Spirulina, which is part of the cyanobacteria, is a blue algae with important nutritional qualities. Its scientific name is Arthrospira platensis (formerly Spirulina platensis) or Arthrospira maxima depending on the species. It is so named for its spiral shape. The natural origin of this exceptional plant dates back millions of years. It is estimated that it was already consumed by humans in prehistoric times. On the Trail of Spirulina Spirulina was once consumed by the Aztecs. They were able to find in these microorganisms nutritional virtues suitable for their lifestyle. Even today, microalgae are used around Lake Chad in the traditional diet of certain peoples of Central Africa. The Kanembou use dehydrated seaweed to mix with millet. For many years, seaweed farming has been developing across the world and much research has been carried out to develop its use. Some organizations use it in programs aimed at eradicating world hunger. China holds the leading position in the spirulina market. But cyanobacteria did not only develop in this part of the world. Spirulina cultivation has developed in particular in California, India, Thailand, Cuba, Hawaii and Greece. In France, aquaculture developed in 1999, in the south-east and south-west. Since then, 200 farms have been created. Unfortunately, organic and French spirulina is not yet possible. The manufacturing method and the climate do not allow these two essential qualities to be combined. In the meantime, it is still possible to import quality organic spirulina. The Many Benefits of a Microscopic Algae Considered a superfood in its own right, spirulina thrives on micronutrients found in its growing medium, providing it with select active ingredients. It is composed, among other things, of trace elements and vegetable proteins, sought after by those who have chosen a vegetarian or vegan diet, but also by certain athletes.
