About Our Products

What is Spirulina and why is it considered a superfood?

Spirulina is a blue-green microalgae that's one of the most nutrient-dense foods on Earth. It contains over 60% complete protein with all essential amino acids, plus high levels of vitamins B12, A, and K, iron, antioxidants like phycocyanin, and essential fatty acids. It's considered a superfood because of its exceptional nutritional density and bioavailability.

How is your Spirulina different from others in the market?

Our Spirulina is cultivated in controlled, food-grade raceway ponds in optimal conditions in Karur, Tamil Nadu. We maintain strict quality control with >60% protein content, 18-22% phycocyanin levels, and are 100% certified organic. Every batch undergoes ICP-MS testing for heavy metals and is free from contaminants like microcystins.

What certifications do your products have?

Our products are certified under NPOP (both Production and Processing), GMP, ISO 22000:2018, and FSSAI. We're also working towards EU Organic and USDA Organic certifications, expected by Q4 2025.

What forms do your products come in?

We offer Spirulina in multiple formats: fine powder for formulations, 500mg compressed tablets, and vegan HPMC capsules. We also provide different grades (Premium, High, and Economy) to suit various applications from premium nutraceuticals to large-scale formulations.
