About this ingredient
Spirulina is a cultivated blue-green microalgae, commonly identified as Arthrospira platensis or Arthrospira maxima. It is harvested from controlled water systems, dried and processed into powder, tablets or capsule ingredients.
Spirulina has a strong green-blue colour and distinctive marine, earthy taste. Because algae products are sensitive to cultivation conditions and contamination risks, supplier quality controls and testing are particularly important.
For Eluneya, spirulina should be documented with clear source, cultivation, drying and quality information. A product passport can help show whether the ingredient is cleanly produced, tested and packed for botanical or functional food use.
Benefits
Spirulina is commonly chosen for plant-based routines and green powder blends. It is valued for its vivid colour, algae identity and suitability in powders, tablets and capsules.
Spirulina is often marketed with nutrient, protein, detox or immunity claims. Eluneya should avoid those claims unless they are supported by product-specific analysis and approved wording. Safer descriptions focus on algae origin, product form, colour, cultivation and traceability.
