Spirulina powder, certified organic
500g pouch
Organic spirulina powder needs no introduction: this superfood has been in the spotlight for many years due to its nutritional benefits and immune-boosting properties. It is a star in vegetarian and vegan diets, particularly for its exceptional richness in plant-based proteins.
🟢 The characteristics of organic spirulina
Spirulina is actually a microbial organism (cyanobacteria) without a distinct nucleus. If you look closely, it has a spiral shape, which is where its name comes from. It appeared on Earth 3.5 billion years ago and has developed an extraordinary resistance to survive the profound climatic changes that separate us from that time.
She is distinguished by her high content of minerals and trace elements (iron, zinc, selenium) as well as vitamins (A, B, D, E). Rich in iron, it is favored by women who are most affected by anemia. It contains 60 to 70% amino acids, which is 3 times more than lean meat ! It is also rich in copper, zinc, and magnesium, which contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system and the improvement of endurance. Specifically, it is one of the most concentrated sources of plant nutrients available.
🟢 Why is our spirulina dried using spray drying ?
The convection drying methods on trays, commonly practiced in small-scale artisanal structures in France and elsewhere, have drawbacks related to the duration of the drying process. The work of Hélène Desmorieux, a doctoral student and researcher at LAGEP, a laboratory under the joint supervision of the Claude Bernard University Lyon 1 and the CNRS, shows that The best drying method for optimal nutrient preservation of spirulina is spray drying, recognized by Ecocert.
> This nebulization method allows for the rapid dehydration of algae while preserving their nutritional qualities. The spirulina is sprayed into a hot chamber where it comes into contact with hot air. The temperature is generally kept below 50°C to prevent the degradation of nutrients and heat-sensitive enzymes.To enhance the absorption of organic spirulina powder, combine it with vitamin C (such as lemon juice). Using spirulina in cooking is actually the best way to enjoy the benefits of this superfood throughout the year — there is no shortage of recipe ideas, and its intense green color provides an immediate wow effect !
> Our organic spirulina is Fat-soluble, meaning it easily dissolves in a fatty preparation or liquid., and forms lumps in a liquid mostly made up of water.
"Spirulina, essential and of exceptional raw quality. Thanks to Eric and Aurélie Viard."
— Gael Vittoz, Biovie client for over 15 years ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
🟢 Frequently Asked Questions
The recommended dose is 3 g per day (about 1 teaspoon). For athletes or in cases of increased need (pregnancy, anemia), some health professionals recommend up to 5 g/day. In any case, start with 1 g/day and gradually increase to allow the body to adjust.
In the morning or during the day, preferably before a meal. Avoid taking it in the evening - spirulina can have a slight stimulating effect on some sensitive individuals, which may disrupt sleep.
Its pronounced marine taste can be easily concealed in a banana-mango smoothie, an orange juice, or a soy yogurt. However, its intense green color is hard to hide! Find our 12 tips to mask the taste of spirulina on our blog.

The nutritional quality of organic spirulina is no longer in question.
🟢 Immune System and Vitality
The antioxidants it contains in large quantities - its blue pigment, phycocyanin, and primarily beta-carotene - contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system. Numerous studies show that white blood cells (T lymphocytes, macrophages, B cells, killer cells) have their activity supported by the regular intake of spirulina. It also has the ability to contribute to the maintenance of normal lipid metabolism.
Ofother studies published in specialized journals show that it promotes the amount of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen in the blood and brings CO2 back to the lungs. Coupled with its immune-stimulating properties, spirulina is a true support for the body's vitality - as part of a varied and balanced diet.
🟢 Weight, blood sugar, and natural elimination functions
Organic spirulina can contribute to normal lipid metabolism and support healthy digestion. Its richness in chlorophyll makes it an excellent aid for the body's natural elimination functions—particularly hepatic—and it contributes to the balance of bacterial flora. Research also suggests that it can be usefully integrated into a diet aimed at maintaining normal blood sugar levels (as part of a varied and balanced diet, in addition to medical supervision for those concerned).
🟢 Beauty & cosmetics
Its content of vitamin E, zinc, and selenium helps protect cells against oxidative stress, with visible effects on facial radiance and normal skin regeneration, as well as on the health of hair and nails. It supports hair thanks to its essential fatty acids and beta-carotene, in addition to the range of minerals and vitamins it provides.
To make the most of its benefits, you can incorporate it into both your diet and your external care.🟢 Spirulina and pregnancy
Organic spirulina can be consumed by pregnant women - it is an excellent support for the body during this period, which requires increased intake of iron and proteins.

Always consult a healthcare professional before starting a treatment, especially during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
🟢 Precautions and contraindications
Spirulina is generally very well tolerated. However, there are a few precautions to be aware of:
- Autoimmune diseases (multiple sclerosis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis): as spirulina supports immune activity, consult your doctor before any use in these cases.
- Phenylketonuria : spirulina contains phenylalanine — it is contraindicated in this case.
- Anticoagulant treatment : due to its vitamin K content, inform your doctor if you are undergoing anticoagulant treatment.
- Indispensable quality : non-certified spirulina may contain cyanotoxins or heavy metals. It is imperative to choose a certified organic spirulina tested for microcystins like that of Biovie.
- For complete information on potential risks, consult the assessment published by theANSES (National Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health Safety).
