Spirulina

Spirulina is a cyanobacterium, often called blue-green algae, sold as a food or supplement, commonly as powder.

Also listed as Arthrospira maxima, Arthrospira platensis, Blue Green Algae, Spirulina maxima

What matters when comparing products?

Powders, tablets and flakes are available. Product traceability matters because cyanotoxins, bacteria and metals can contaminate spirulina; ANSES favors controlled supply channels with an identifiable producer. 1 2
