Spirulina tablets are rich in nutrients from plants and herbs. More than 100 kinds of organic nutrients are naturally balanced here, including vitamins, minerals, trace elements, phytonutrients and all essential amino acids.
Spirulina powder is made by spray drying and sieving fresh spirulina, and its fineness is generally above 80 mesh. The pure spirulina is pink and dark green, and it feels smooth to the touch. Spirulina that has not been sieved or added with other substances will feel rough.
Spirulina is a class of lower plants, belonging to the phylum Cyanophyta, Oscillatoriaceae. Like bacteria, they have no real nucleus in the cell, so they are also called cyanobacteria. The cell structure of cyanobacteria is primitive and very simple. It is the first photosynthetic organism to appear on the planet, and it has lived on this planet for 3.5 billion years. It grows in a body of water, and its shape can be seen under a microscope as a spiral filament, hence its name. Spirulina platensis is commonly used in health foods. Other spirulina types include Spirulina maxima and Spirulina salina. The protein content of Spirulina platensis is generally more than 65%.
Spirulina can be divided into feed grade, food grade and special purpose according to different purposes. Feed-grade spirulina powder is generally used in aquaculture and livestock breeding, and food-grade spirulina powder is used in health foods and added to other foods for human consumption.
