Organic Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) Powder

Smoothies/RTM sticks: 1–3 g per 250–300 ml; add after liquid; pair with citrus, pineapple or mint for a fresh finish.

Gummies & chews: 0.2%–0.6% w/w; pilot pH, set and water activity; vanilla or lemon peel rounds flavour.

Snack bars & bakery: 1%–2% of mix for colour and protein contribution; log bake temperature/time to protect colour.

Capsules: 500–1000 mg once daily with a meal for zero-flavour routines.

Stack idea: Start solo; week two add wheatgrass or moringa at modest grams—one change at a time. As a routine practice, space ~90 minutes from medications.

Label-clean nutrition: Whole microalgae brings native protein and pigments to everyday blends within a food-first plan.

Natural colour: Chlorophyll/phycocyanin give attractive green-blue tones for gummies, sticks and bakery without synthetic dyes.

Format-flexible: Fine grind disperses smoothly in beverages and mixes; easy capsule fill weights.

Adherence through flavour: Small grams paired with citrus or mint make repeatable, enjoyable routines.

Operational consistency: Controlled moisture and sieve cut support smooth batching, filling and storage.

Serving Size: 1 scoop or 1–2 capsules (≈ 1–3 g powder)

Ingredients: Spirulina Powder (Arthrospira platensis) — choose Certified Organic or Conventional.

Does Not Contain: Added sugar, caffeine, artificial colours

Allergen Information: Vegan; gluten-free; dairy-free. Avoid if unusually sensitive to algae. Consult a professional if pregnant, nursing or on medications.

Usage Recommendation: 1–3 g daily in smoothies, sticks, gummies, bars or capsules. Add one change at a time; space ~90 minutes from medications.

Storage Advice: Store cool, dry & dark. Keep tightly sealed; protect from humidity, light and strong odours.

Keep Away From Children

Q: Spirulina powder vs phycocyanin-standardised extract—how should I choose?

A: Powder delivers the full microalgae matrix—native protein, pigments and minerals—at simple gram weights with easy flavour pairing. Extracts concentrate one fraction (often phycocyanin) for vivid colour and compact dosing but lose some whole-food context and can need carriers. Decide by use case: choose powder for label-clean smoothies, bars and capsules; consider extract for intense colour accents. Pilot two weeks at fixed grams, liquid volume and serving time; change only the spirulina format, then select the version that flavours, labels and scales best.

Claim strength: High

Claim-strength scale – High = strong handling/culinary consensus; Moderate = a few trials; Emerging = early or context-specific.

Q: How do I keep taste pleasant and colour bright in beverages?

A: Stay at 1–3 g/250–300 ml, add after liquid, and pair with citrus, pineapple or mint. For RTM sticks, pre-blend with a light carrier, log pH and shake method, and minimise high-heat holds. If flavour reads marine, drop grams by ~15% and rebalance acids/sweetness—change one variable at a time so SOPs remain reproducible from bench to sachet. Store cool, dry and away from light to preserve colour.

Q: Organic vs Conventional—what changes operationally?

A: Organic follows NPOP/NOP/Canada Organic/EU 834/2007 with segregated chain-of-custody; Conventional is the same algae powder without organic certification. Keep SKUs separated (barcodes/prices/batch logs). Both ship with in-house QC (identity & key specs) so hue, aroma and flow stay consistent across formats, simplifying production planning and QA.

Q: Where does spirulina fit in a simple daily stack?

A: Use as a small morning smoothie addition or a capsule with your first meal. Hold that anchor for two weeks before adding partners like wheatgrass or moringa. This staged approach keeps adherence high, avoids label clutter and makes QC straightforward—grams, sieve cut and pH are easier to hold steady when you change only one thing at a time.
