Spirulina is a blue micro-algae that appeared 3.5 billion years ago on Earth. It made it possible to transform the unbreathable atmosphere into a viable environment through the process of photosynthesis.
In 1974, the UN declared spirulina the Food of the Future against malnutrition.
You will have understood, it is not an algae like the others.
Rich in proteins, it contains all the amino acids essential to our body. It contains many vitamins, minerals and all active ingredients beneficial for health.
There is a lot of talk about its benefits, however, there is no shortage of preconceived ideas.
We have decided to reestablish the truth with you about spirulina.
It has nothing to do with the conflation that some people make between micro-organisms and microbes. It is a microscopic blue algae that is capable of purifying the atmosphere in which it grows.
Far from any urban pollution, Algorigin Spirulina benefits from pure water and a unique ecosystem in the world in the heart of the Andes Cordillera.
This therefore has nothing to do with the algae which prevents us from swimming at the beach in summer!
Spirulina was discovered on the shores of Lake Chad where the locals consume it daily, there is no overdose, it can be taken all year round.
The dosage can reach 20 tablets per day for athletes during periods of intensive training or competition.
This is one of your recurring requests. Yes, it is possible to combine several algae with spirulina in order to have supplementation targeted to your health needs.
Organic spirulina is ideal as a basic supplement, all year round, to gain energy.
Other algae can be consumed as a treatment, for 1 to 3 months, as a supplement to meet a specific need.
For example, AFA Klamath is ideal for gaining psychic energy thanks to the PEA it contains.
Spirulina can be taken in the evening, it will not prevent you from sleeping.
You can take seaweed whenever you want during the day. They do not contain exciting substances such as caffeine and theine.
The most important thing is to remain rigorous and remember to supplement every day to benefit from the maximum benefits.
If you crush the spirulina tablets it does not reduce the effects of the algae. It is important to do this at the time of consumption to preserve all oxygen-sensitive substances.
It is possible to add the powdered one to a cooking recipe. Be careful not to heat it above 40° as you risk losing all its benefits (loss of vitamins and minerals).
It is an algae that does not contain iodine . It is not a marine algae, but a non-iodized freshwater algae.
No Algorigin algae contains iodine. There is therefore no risk of iodine overdose with Algorigin health solutions.
Supplementation with algae during pregnancy is entirely recommended.
For pregnant women, spirulina provides a supply of quality vitamins, minerals and amino acids.
It is also available enriched with iron, 6 times richer in iron than Organic Spirulina. Spirulina FER helps fight against particularly significant iron deficiencies during pregnancy.
However, keep in mind that the doctor, gynecologist or even midwife always has the last word on your treatments/prescription of food supplements.
Spirulina Algorigin can be taken by everyone to benefit from its benefits. Whether you are an experienced athlete or simply looking for well-being, it will be your ally to gain energy.
The dosage must be adapted according to your profile and your lifestyle.
6 to 10 tablets per day all year round
10 to 15 tablets per day all year round
Whatever the duration of the treatment, the most important thing is to take your Spirulina Algorigin daily and constantly to benefit from its effects.
To avoid forgetting to take it, our micronutritionists recommend implementing your morning routine

]]>Being part of a group of micronutrients Called carotenoids, astaxanthin has a characteristic reddish color. Consuming foods rich in astaxanthin has myriad notable health benefits.
In fact, the effects of astaxanthin on health have been well documented in over 1000 peer-reviewed publications and medical journals.
Astaxanthin is one of many well-known carotenoids. Carotenoids are pigmented phytochemicals found abundantly in plants, bacteria, algae, and a plethora of other living organisms. They are one of the most diverse groups of natural pigments, which are responsible for the bright orange, red and yellow colors found primarily in vegetables, fruits and many plant parts.
THE carotenoids belong to the class of fat-soluble terpenes, compounds also known as tetraterpenoids. They are among the oldest and most studied phytochemicals in the history of biology. In fact, their uses and benefits have been studied in detail as far back as the 1800s. Perhaps the most recognizable member of the group is carotene, often associated with carrots and, thus, vitamin A. It is not not so surprising that carotene was the first known carotenoid. Heinrich Wilhelm Ferdinand Wackenroder actually discovered it by accident in the late 1820s while studying another phytochemical called an anthelmintic.
However, it is to a Famous Austrian chemist Adolf Lieben is credited with discovering carotenoids in human tissues while conducting research in 1863 at the University of Palermo. Today, there are over 1,100 documented carotenoid compounds. They can all be classified into two broad categories:
Regardless of their category, all carotenoids have antioxidant properties which vary depending on the compound in question.
Astaxanthin is an increasingly popular carotenoid that belongs to the xanthophyll subclass. It is naturally present in certain algae and its color varies from red to pink. Astaxanthin can also be found in certain types of seafood. In fact, it is responsible for the reddish color of lobster, salmon, fish eggs, trout, crabs. and other seafood. This substance is also responsible for the pinkish color of the flamingo's features.
In common and technical usage, astaxanthin goes by many other names, including 3R,3'S-astaxanthin, 3R,3'R-astaxanthin, 3S,3'S-astaxanthin, 3,3′-dihydroxy-4, 4′- diketo-beta-carotene, Dihydroxy-3,3′-dioxo-4,4′ beta-carotene, Ovoester, Micro-Algae, Microalgae, Microalgae, Astaxantina or Astaxanthin.
Astaxanthin is often called "the king of carotenoids" due to its reputation for being one of the most powerful antioxidants present in nature. This substance is particularly important because it never turns into a pro-oxidant . This means that it can never cause destructive oxidation in the body, making it perfect for health-related benefits and performance.
That said, astaxanthin, as an antioxidant, helps reduce oxidation, a natural phenomenon that is responsible for the vast majority of cases of inflammation in our bodies. If not reduced, prolonged inflammation can cause insurmountable damage to our health and well-being. More precisely, inflammation is responsible for premature aging, brain-related conditions like dementia, eye problems, heart disease, arthritis and a large number of cancers. As an effective antioxidant, astaxanthin can help fight these diseases and a long list of other health problems.
Your body cannot produce astaxanthin on its own, which means you must obtain it through food or supplements. Those who prefer foods rich in astaxanthin should eat plenty of salmon, shrimp, lobster, rainbow trout and other seafood.
Seafood, however, may not be a plausible way to get a significant amount of astaxanthin . The richest seafood source—sockeye salmon, for example—contains only 4.5 mg of this compound per ounce. This is not enough to achieve the desired health benefits. This is why most people opt for dietary supplements. Those made from Pluvialis algae contain the highest amount of bioavailable astaxanthin. 3% of its biomass is pure astaxanthin. In fact, it is the only supplement approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a safe and viable source of dietary astaxanthin.
Phaffia rhodozyma, a popular red yeast , and certain shellfish are the other two main commercially viable sources of astaxanthin. There is also synthetic astaxanthin, traditionally used by manufacturers to produce food colorings and fish feeds.
It’s pretty simple and straightforward: it’s an antioxidant.
In this context, it is obvious that astaxanthin is undoubtedly one of the best ways to ingest antioxidants into your body. As you may already know, antioxidants are important for your body. They play an important role in human growth, health and well-being. These ingenious compounds have some of the most powerful anti-inflammatory properties.
THE antioxidant properties astaxanthin help explain its health benefits and claims, especially when used to help manage and treat a variety of conditions like cancer. Biologically speaking, antioxidants are molecules agile which repair damage caused at the cellular level by unstable and harmful molecules called free radicals. These molecules are constantly released during metabolism.
Make no mistake, the free radicals also have their reason for being. For example, our disease-fighting immune system uses certain free radicals to kill viruses, bacteria, and other germs that try to infect our bodies. Unfortunately, untamed free radicals can also destroy good cells. There is supposed to be a fine balance between free radicals and antioxidants. In fact, it's the role of antioxidants like astaxanthin to keep free radicals under control.
Anything that stifles this balance can lead to oxidative stress, a condition that could be detrimental to our bodies. Antioxidants act on free radicals by giving them electrons. This process makes free radicals stable and neutralized. So, by definition, antioxidants reverse the oxidation process - and therefore prevent oxidative stress from occurring. Persistent oxidative stress can lead to an increased risk of health problems, including neurodegenerative disorders, heart disease, and a number of cancers. Prolonged free radical interference can help accelerate the aging process.
In our daily lives, we are exposed to several risk factors that increase the formation of free radicals. Certain lifestyle habits and certain environmental factors promote oxidative stress . These include excessive alcohol consumption, a high-carbohydrate diet, certain toxins, smoking, excessive consumption of certain metals (zinc, copper, magnesium or iron), excess or from lack of oxygen in the blood, air pollution and infections, to name a few.

]]>It was late and a little by chance, thanks to the baccalaureate sports test, that Yann Senjaric took up athletics in Saint-Julien-en-Genevois and then, with the best coaches in Aix-les -Baths. From his beginnings as a footballer to his victory at the 2017 Balkan Games in the 400m hurdles, this hyperactive Franco-Croatian reveals his journey as an athlete but also as a sports coach in Geneva.
A: When and where did you start athletics?
Y: It was only at the age of 19 that I really started athletics following excellent results obtained on the day of the exams in sport, athletics option at the Baccalaureate. My teachers strongly advised me to take a degree. I first registered at Athlé Saint Julien 74, then I moved to AS Aix-les-Bains to seek the expertise of the very renowned sprint group, led by Pierrot Carraz. Since 2017, a new coach has guided me: Frédéric Gazeau. He is very strong and I like his vision of things.
A: Did you play other sports when you were younger?
Y: Yes, I have always been very active and “daredevil” with my friends: a fan of skateboarding, snowboarding in winter, at the football club since I was 5, then tennis at 15.
A: When did you discover your talent for hurdling? Why did you choose this discipline?
Y: The 400m hurdles was my first athletics race without really training, without even a choice, just with the aim of running for the club and bringing points to the team. I tried other disciplines but the one where I expressed myself best was the low hurdles (400m hurdles: 1 lap of the track with 10 hurdles raised to 91cm). I progressed very quickly, which encouraged me to persevere. It is a very complete discipline which combines speed, resistance, flexibility, crossing technique, stride pattern and adaptation of the rhythm obstacle after obstacle.
A: Do you compete in other disciplines?
Y: Yes, the 400m flat to start the 4x400m relay.
A: What is the fondest memory of your athletic career?
Y: A race on 07/13/14 in Varazdin in Croatia which brought me a lot: my first Croatian champion title, a personal best, the minimums for the European Championships… and so much euphoria! And then every race where I put on the Croatian national outfit is indescribable, it helps me to transcend myself.
A: What are the most important personality traits or physical strengths for a top athlete, in your opinion?
Y: I think that humility is the first because no matter how much we surpass ourselves, win victories, break records, appear on TV... we will always remain human, vulnerable and ephemeral on Earth.
The 2nd is respect for one's opponents because we draw our strength from them to win.
The 3rd is listening to yourself . Knowing yourself is essential to progress.
The 4th is determination which, thanks to work, allows you to achieve your goals or even your dream.
The 5th is creativity because very often, we have to know how to open our eyes, be attentive to what is offered to us and use our imagination to create new opportunities.
A: You are not just an elite athlete. Tell us about your career as a Sports Coach!
Y: I have been a self-employed sports coach/trainer in Geneva for 5 years now. I also worked in a wellness and fitness center. I draw a lot of inspiration from my favorite sport, athletics, to train my clients. I collaborate with the Efficium clinic in Acacias, I work at home, outside and in a Personal Training studio called Funcwork in Eaux-Vives. I am also an ambassador for Algorigin and Five Sport Management with the dual role of athlete and coach.

A: What are the main reasons people come to see you as a Coach?
Y: Each person has their own goal and I offer personalized training accordingly. There may be competition involved or rehabilitation following an injury. Some will work mainly on flexibility and joint mobility to combat back or neck pain, others will seek weight loss and general muscle strengthening. Overall, people want to escape, relieve stress and feel good about their body. My daily life is extremely varied and exciting!
A: How do you assess a client's needs?
Y: Most of the time things happen naturally during the sessions: we communicate, we laugh, I observe, I analyze and at the same time… we train hard! No need to do test sessions or evaluation questionnaires. I rely on communication, I listen to my clients and I ask them questions, I do my research, I come up with something new and sometimes with a surprise objective to motivate them!
A: How does a session with you as coach take place?
Y: A session lasts 1 hour. Systematically 10 minutes of warm-up and 10 minutes of cool-down and stretching. We have 40 minutes left in the middle of the session to work and sweat! I try to develop all physical qualities in anyone, namely endurance, strength, speed, flexibility, balance, coordination, etc. Of course all this spread over several sessions with the aim of having a balanced body.
A: Do you have a favorite exercise? If yes which ?
Y: Yes, jumping and overcoming obstacles of all kinds. But it's not for everyone... you have to accept the fall sometimes!
A: What is your tip for motivating people?
Y: When the feeling goes well, then we don't look at the watch and we don't save ourselves. I often remind them of their journey and their personal goal. All the accumulated sessions and the efforts made go through difficult moments and outside their comfort zone. The goal is simply good health and the ability to move by discovering new sports such as mountain walking, climbing, boxing, swimming, running, cycling, board sports, the list is long. And pleasure will inevitably arise.

A: What do you like best about your job?
Y: I like the diversity of the people I meet, their origins, their experiences, their personalities, their confidence. Sport is a part of my profession but relationships are yet another dimension which enriches our daily lives much more. Being a coach means boosting people! Sometimes a discussion is more effective than an exercise.
A: Tell us a little about your next projects!
Y: I have lots of them and some great ones! My short-term project between now and this spring is to start one, or even two, small group sports classes with the Efficium clinic focused on joint mobility, flexibility and muscle strengthening. The 2nd class would focus more on cardio and developing endurance outdoors.
A: Do you follow a specific nutritional plan?
Y: Yes, with Virginie Terrier at the Efficium clinic. An annual blood test allows him to see my general condition, then we put in place dietary supplements and cures. We adjust and take stock every month. All accompanied by a healthy and diversified diet.
A: Which Algorigin products have you already tested?
Y: I have already tried spirulina .
A: What do you think are the benefits of algae?
Y: It is difficult for me to particularly feel the benefits of seaweed because I often have several treatments at the same time. The results for me are good and the scientific studies on algae are positive so I trust Algorigin.
A: How do you prefer to take seaweed?
Y: I only take them as tablets on an empty stomach in the morning.
A: Do you have a recipe to share with us?
Y: My best meals are those where I cook vegetables from my garden, whatever the recipe, cooking, it's a pure joy to work the land, harvest and eat fresh!

Recently returned from Reunion Island with a nice 4th place in the prestigious Diagonale des Fous trail, Diego Pazos is not only one of the best trail runners in the world. Originally from Lausanne with a master's degree in forensics, Diego is also the initiator and organizer of the Montreux Trail Festival, the first edition of which took place this year. In this interview, we get to know our favorite “butterfly” runner better, who shares with us his tips for succeeding on all fronts.
DIEGO: I was born in Lausanne and grew up in the Lausanne “suburb”, in Chavannes-près-Renens, I have extraordinary memories of it! I have lived in Lausanne for several years, so am I a pure local product?
D: I first discovered trail running on the Internet in the summer of 2011, seeing Kilian on the UTMB 2011 with a magnificent sunrise at the Col de la Seigne. Seeing these extreme adventurers as I called them really motivated me to take the plunge and take on this gargantuan challenge. Then, at the end of 2011, first trail race, the Sainté Lyon, 70km at night, a great experience before doing my real first trail season in 2012. Then I was taken by passion, I discovered unsuspected qualities and I progressed at the same time as my body shape changed, adapting from a stocky build to a rather skinny body. In 2016, being able to represent Switzerland at the world championship was also something remarkable, it's always a special moment to be able to represent your country in a sport, whatever it may be.
D: The bow tie is a bit like my wife and my loved ones running with me. I already wore a lot of them before our wedding, but it's a bit of a symbol of our relationship and I decided to run with it since our wedding in June 2015. For the record, the bow ties that I wear are those that my friends gave me during my bachelor party, so they have a double meaning for me: Love and friendship!
Over time has it also become a charm?
D: In parallel with my work and my training, I threw myself into organizing the Montreux Trail Festival, a race like no other truly combining music (to the rhythm of Queen in particular, because Montreux was Freddie's heart city Mercury) and the trail. The best example is the festive format called Freddie's Night which offers entertainment and light shows along the entire route!
Bring new impetus to trail races, unite an entire region since the great course of 164 km and 12,000 m + and a real Tour of the Vaudoise Alps and introduce my playground, where I spend most of the time. my time when I prepare for international competitions. This region of the Vaud Riviera and Alps and our beautiful canton of Vaud deserved a showcase like this for lovers of nature sports. Our mountains are beautiful and much more technical than people think... This racing festival (7 formats on the program) is a bit like the organizing committee, original, young and dynamic?
Come and discover this Ultra festive atmosphere during the second edition from July 26 to 29, 2018 ( www.montreux-trail.ch) .
D: It's a bit like a puzzle, you have to put all the pieces together correctly but it's really not easy, between my trips to Bern for work, my working day and my midday training sessions, my evenings have been often dedicated to the Montreux Trail Festival but for me the most fundamental thing is my family balance. Therefore, I stay as attentive as possible to my wife so that we can free ourselves from the beaches as a couple, I also need it for my sporting balance! And in all of this the arrival of the baby will turn everything upside down but for the better I'm sure... Setting priorities is the basis in life, does it allow you to move forward?

D: Nutrition is extremely important in the life of an athlete. I would tend to say in everyone's life, but some people are not yet aware of it or do not want to see it that way. And yet... as an athlete, I don't follow a particular diet, but I try to vary my diet as much as possible, eat a balanced diet and respect certain main principles. I am not for specific diets, I am a “flexivore” as Takinoa would say and I am convinced that you can eat healthily and in a balanced way while really enjoying yourself.
It's all a question of habit, once we have found this balanced routine, we can afford to make deviations, especially for all the end-of-year meals that will come but naturally, we will return to this balance of basis by resuming good habits once these differences have been digested? I have always followed my personal instinct, not established but inspired by several very interesting readings on the contribution of nutrition and its influence in our life in general.
From now on, thanks to Algorigin, I will be able to monitor my nutrition a little more closely, mainly to ensure that I do not have any deficiencies with the hours of sports that I practice. Ensuring that you are in good health is an essential point if you want to last and especially if you want to achieve your goals or make your dreams come true.
Read: Diego Pazos wants to cross Switzerland
D: I take organic spirulina and recently AFA klamath , algae with wonderful properties. I feel that these products allow me to meet my essential nutrient needs. These nutrients are sometimes no longer available in commercially available foods that are supposed to contain them. Because the latter are no longer of good quality because of mass production, green picking of fruits and vegetables or the untimely use of pesticides.
On a daily basis, these supplements allow me to rebalance my needs, but it is also during my competitions that I feel the benefits. In addition, the results are to be expected in the medium-long term, we do not see a difference from one day to the next but gradually unless we are at the lowest at the time of the first doses, in which case we would see results quite quickly. It’s about banking on your future health.
D: Well-documented production, sensitive to the environmental challenges of the coming years and which does not rely on mass production but rather on qualitative production of spirulina for the well-being of consumers. It seems trivial but yet in our society and especially in the agri-food sector, these notions are all too rarely respected! In addition, it is a young and dynamic team, attentive?
D: After this wonderful Diagonale des Fous, my last challenge of the year will be the Ultra Trail Cape Town, on December 2 in South Africa, then full of new surprises for 2018 including a big personal project and superb races. Will you know more in the coming months?

]]>Maxime Grenot has always been a sportsman who, tired of “going in circles” on the athletics tracks, preferred to hang up his spiked shoes to switch to trail running shoes. Physiotherapist and soon osteopath, he uses his knowledge of physiology, mainly in sports, to recommend our products to his patients.
If you usually run around Annecy, you may have already come across it! Follow us to learn more about him.
Algorigin: Tell us a little about your journey! Where are you from ? Where did you go to school, university?
Maxime: I come from a small village in the Vosges. I did a Scientific Baccalaureate in a small high school in the Vosges. Then the Free University of Brussels to obtain a Master's degree in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation. I then followed up with a diploma in osteopathy which I will finish next year. At the same time, I completed several certifications based on scientific studies (dry needling, neurodynamics, runner's clinic, reathletics and muscle strengthening, shoulder rehabilitation, etc.) which I use to best treat my patients.
A: When and how did you discover trail running?
M: I came to trail running quite naturally actually. I went through the athletics box, but I was tired of going in circles on the track. So I went for the mountain running format which appealed to me much more…and the logical next step was trail running!
A: Did you play other sports when you were little?
M: During my middle school/high school years I was a bit of a jack of all trades. I did a bit of all the team sports, but in the end I stuck to running.
A: What are your favorite places for trail running?
I have a lot... Les Bauges, Les Aravis... but as I live on the shores of Lake Annecy, I'm going to say that the peaks with a view of the lake are still great spots.
A: What is the fondest memory of your career as a trail runner?
M: I don't particularly have one in mind, I enjoy winning or having a good result when my parents are present at the race. But if I had to name some, I would say the Grand Trail du Lac in Aix-les-Bains and the CimasaRun in Réunion recently.
A: For someone who doesn’t know trail running, how can you explain the charm of running ultra trails?
M: Trail running already means being surrounded by nature, you feel free... You find motivation by looking up and looking around you. When you have crazy landscapes, you don't want to go home! And the atmosphere is often super friendly on the trail, whether you're first or last, you're happy to go have a beer at the finish with your friends!
A: You are not only a great athlete. Tell us a little about what you do on the side!
M: At the same time I work as a physiotherapist (soon physiotherapist because I am going to work in Geneva in a sports clinic at the end of the year). It's my second passion, and I even think I'm more demanding of myself at work than in my trail running.
A: What do you like best about your job?
M: The relationship with my patients! I have a lot of athletes in care, and it's always a challenge to get them back on their feet as quickly as possible and especially in good conditions!
A: Any advice for managing on all fronts?
M: I would say that you have to know how to set aside time slots, whether for work or training. Do not mix the two. And thinking about recuperating, it seems that work is tiring?
Read also: Interview Diego Pazos
A: This year your trail season was interrupted by a sprained ankle, but lately we see you back on top on the podium – How did you manage to recover so quickly?
M: This year it's true that my first half of the season was difficult... I slipped on a patch of ice on my restart race in March. It took me 15 days to recover from it...the next race, I sprained my ankle badly, then I followed it up with bone edema in my femur by hitting the edge of a small wall while sliding on a muddy trail… It was frustrating because I was in great shape, I had been studious all winter, and I injured myself at the wrong time…
I managed to recover quickly because I didn't stop training! You can always find a way to stay in shape, and during this period, my bike has been my best friend!
Of course the return to the race was complicated, but I held my back and tried to be patient... The injury is part of the life of the athlete, the most complicated and to accept it, to do not become demotivated and put in place effective treatments to resume correctly.
On this point, Algorigin products had a great importance in my rapid recovery, of that I am convinced.
A: What are your best tips for recovering as quickly as possible after a race?
M: The best recovery is sleep! Then come the little things that make the difference: food supplements (thanks Algorigin) diet, massage etc…
A: Why is Algorigin and you a good equation?
M: Algorigin is my Ally! Honestly, I don't think I'll ever live without Algo again. I am fully satisfied with it, whether in terms of the products or the exchanges with the different people who work there. It's simply the BEST!
A: What are the advantages for you of taking algae-based food supplements?
M: I see several advantages: we avoid deficiencies, we recover better, less fatigue, fewer muscle injuries…
A: How important is your diet to you? Do you follow a special nutritional plan?
M: Food has always been important to me, I really care about it. I don't like to eat anything!
And now that Celia Karleskind has given me a great eating plan, everything is going well! This allows me to maintain a healthy weight and no longer make the mistakes I made in the past.
A: Since you have been following Algorigin, have you noticed any improvements in your daily life?
M: I try to remain objective when answering this question!
I tell my patients or runner friends every day, since I started with Algorigin, I have seen a real change! In a positive way of course!
To discover: Algorigin organic spirulina
A: What are your next goals and upcoming projects?
M: On a sporting level, the next objectives will be to have fun in the end-of-season races after finishing 2nd in the Over The Mountain Salomon challenge. The form is there, so I will try to do some good races to make up for the first part of the season disrupted by injuries.
On a professional level it will be a good start to my work as a sports physiotherapist in Geneva.

A great meeting!
Trail runner and social educator, Lawrence Laughery joined our ambassador team this year!
Recently injured, he tells us about his journey and his recovery program.
Algorigin: Tell us your story, where are you from?
Lawrence: Of American origin, I was born in Vevey and grew up in Villars-sur-Ollon in the canton of Vaud. My parents raised my brothers and me in an idyllic setting for outdoor activities. Since a young age, I have felt comfortable with technical mountain trails. As a teenager, I took a step back from sport and nature only to return to it a few years later when a lack set in within me. Four years ago, I slowly got back into running and two years later I discovered the discipline of “trail running”. Today, I am part of the Swiss Compressport team.
A: What personality traits or physical abilities do you think are most important for a trailer?
L: Trail running is an exciting, demanding and strategic discipline. It is open to anyone wishing to experience an adventure and push their limits. However, there are important elements to know before setting off. You have to like being alone sometimes and have the will to fight with yourself. Succeeding in linking our physical abilities and our mind is a challenge and requires deep self-knowledge. Good training and muscular strength will take us far, but a strong mind will take us even further. Knowing your strengths, weaknesses and nutritional needs allows for an optimal strategy for successful running. It goes without saying that love for the mountains, nature and respect for volunteers as well as our competitors is part of the trail runner spirit.

A: You recently had an accident, would you like to tell us about it?
L: During a long outing training, I tripped while going downhill and caught myself with my right leg extended. I stayed for a good half hour waiting for first aid. I fractured my fibula and tibial plateau but I saved my cruciate ligaments. They quickly operated on me and inserted a plate with screws to straighten the tibia and return it to its correct height. I have to end my 2019 season and wait until September to be able to hit the trails again.
A: Can you tell us about your recovery? What are you doing to get back into shape as quickly as possible?
L: One of the first things I thought about for optimal recovery was my nutrition. I know the power of food and with my nutritionist, we have established a recovery plan with the foods to favor. I use Algorigin micro nutrition to complete this program. I am taking a course of organic AFA Klamath , known to repair the body by releasing stem cells. I continue to take organic Spirulina and a course of Spirulina Elixir for an energy boost. I rest a lot, I accept the injury, I digest and I move forward as best I can. The injury is an adventure parallel to a race: I am delighted to cross the finish line but I will remember the journey experienced since I left the starting line. It's the emotional elevator, there are ups and downs, joy and frustration but I always move forward, morale is present.

A: Have you felt the effects of the algae?
L: I have been supplementing my diet with Algorigin algae for over a year. However, I did it randomly at the beginning and my intake was not very regular. Since I met Pauline Nouvellet, the Algorigin micronutritionist, I have had a detailed plan with the algae to favor before, during and after exercise. Today I feel more energetic, more alert and the recovery is shorter. It is important to remember that dietary supplementation does not replace a good basic diet.
A: How did you find out about Algorigin?
L: I knew Algorigin thanks to Diego Pazos, a Swiss ultra trail runner. I already knew the virtues of spirulina but the one I took before was not of such good quality. I was especially looking for a Swiss brand, respectful of the environment and I found what I was looking for with Algorigin. The team is great and we share common values!
A: What messages do you want to send to athletes who don't yet know Algorigin?
L: When I discuss seaweed supplementation with other athletes, I am regularly told: “ I prefer to eat well and nourish myself correctly so as not to have to take food supplements ”. I understand this thought pattern and I completely agree with it. However, we have reached a stage where this is not enough. Our agricultural land produces food with a lower nutritional content (iron, magnesium, amino acids, vitamin D, omega 3, etc.). The production method also plays a determining role in the quality of the products. Natural food supplementation is a response to this problem. This goes beyond sporting performance, it's giving your body what it needs. It's natural, it's not doping and no addiction is created.

]]>Klamath AFA is a single-celled microalgae discovered more than 15 years ago in one of the most diverse and richest wetland habitats in North America. It is harvested at the height of its flowering in summer, then processed quickly to preserve its nutritional profile and enzymatic activity. Upper Klamath Lake has an average depth of about 8 feet, but the algae feeds on mineral-rich sediments thought to be at least 10 feet deep.
It is estimated that just one centimeter of these mineral-rich sediments, generated more than 10,000 years ago by a volcanic explosion, is capable of producing sufficient AFA Klamath to feed all humans on the planet at a rate of one gram per day for 60 years. It's simply a nutritional powerhouse. More than 98% of its nutrients are bioavailable, meaning they can be used directly by the body in the same form they occur naturally.
Amino acids are the building blocks that make up protein (and muscle tissue), and Klamath AFA contains all eight essential amino acids for metabolism, in the correct profile for optimal absorption. Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA Klamath) contains up to 68% more protein by weight than any other complete food. Research carried out on animals Massachusetts General Hospital and to the Harvard Medical School revealed that AFA increased blood levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). The EPA and the DHA are useful in contributing to the optimal functioning of many organ systems, including the nervous system.
AFA Klamath Algae inhabits Klamath Lake and has quickly become a favorite food additive for health enthusiasts around the world. Blue-green algae is a natural food that contains a fantastic range of specific phytochemicals, a vast array of antioxidants, minerals, amino acids, vitamins, enzymes and many unique nutrients. AFA Klamath algae is one of the richest sources of antioxidant compounds, including carotenoids (beta-carotene, lycopene and lutein), chlorophyll and phycocyanin, hence their superfood status.
Here are some of the properties of AFA Klamath algae that demonstrate unique health benefits:
AFA Klamath algae is full of chlorophyll which helps to: produce leukocytes and erythrocytes, fight leukemia and certain forms of skin and liver cancer. Chlorophyll cleanses the body of heavy metals such as cadmium and mercury, pesticides and industrial pollutants that accumulate in various places in the body. The green pigment is particularly effective in detoxifying the body - it binds toxins and free radicals, thereby neutralizing them.
The blue pigment of AFA Klamath algae is rich in phycocyanin and vitamin B12 which helps to strengthen immunity by stimulating the bone marrow to produce more stem cells. Stem cells are the basic form of all cells that can be transformed into any cells, including T cells, macrophages, etc.
Low temperature dried organic Klamath AFAs contain a wide variety of enzymes. These enzymes facilitate nutrition and metabolism.
The Klamath AFA is a unique source of minerals. It contains the 40 essential and vital minerals available at the bottom of Klamath Lake. Minerals are the atomic matrix of the body being required by the formation of all tissues including bones, teeth, skin, hair, nails, internal organs, muscles, immune and nervous systems. In addition to minerals, AFA Klamath is an excellent source of B vitamins. Overall, B vitamins help combat stress by ensuring more efficient conversion of polysaccharides and other carbohydrates into glucose, thereby providing the body with organism instant energy and resistance.
AFA Klamath seaweed is an excellent supplement to the daily diet. They increase the intake of rare nutrients, difficult to obtain through a normal diet. AFA Klamath greatly improves immunity, increases physical energy and endurance during exercises. It is a real gain in vitality, a tone which with the recommended doses, to the nearest gram, stimulates your body and participates in the regeneration of cells.
]]>Astaxanthin is a red pigment belonging to the antioxidant family. To be more precise, it is a polyphenol classified as a xanthophyll carotenoid.
It is found in crustaceans, shrimps, lobsters, certain wild fish as well as in the flesh of certain animals and also in plants with a red coloring.
The astaxanthin is surrounded by a protein which will only be released under the effect of heat; You can see this by experimenting with cooking shellfish. The shrimp will turn pink from the heat when cooking. It is the astaxanthin contained in shrimp that gives them this color.
Contained in the flesh of wild salmon, it gives it the strength to take on the feat of going up rivers against the current, in order to reach an area suitable for its reproduction.
Astaxanthin is also present in large quantities in the algae Haematococus pluvialis. It will give a pinkish red color to the fish that eat it.
We are talking to you here about natural astaxanthin, but let's be careful because a chemical and synthetic form also exists. This pigment, manufactured by the petrochemical industry, is of much lower interest than the natural pigment.
Asians and Americans are big consumers of the pigment astaxanthin and have been for a long time.
Top athletes in the United States and movie stars recommend the pigment for its effects. Many American brand ambassadors talk about astaxanthin.
Some cosmetic creams also include pigment in their compositions.
Still little known in Europe, we note, however, that interest has grown significantly in recent years when we take into account the results of the studies carried out and when we question people who regularly consume cures and who share their experience.
The benefits of astaxanthin are numerous and remarkable. They are due to the presence of Vitamin E, which helps protect cells against oxidative stress.
Oxidative stress, or oxidation, is due to the creation of free radicals. It is the source of cellular aging and results in the appearance of genes, pain, inflammation, or age-related pathologies (AMD, etc.).
The pigment astaxanthin is of interest to everyone and more particularly to people concerned about aging well, athletes who play intensely on an outdoor playing field...
This pigment in its natural form, that is to say from the algae Haematococus pluvialis, containing vitamin E is a recommended solution for people who seek to protect their organs naturally against the risk of oxidation.
There are no known contraindications, toxicity or side effects when taking astaxanthin. The 1 to 3 month treatment can be repeated.
Some brands recommend an average of 2 capsules/day for 2 months.
Studies show results from a consumption of 4mg per day of astaxanthin.
Soluble in fats, it is preferable to take the capsules during a meal in order to make the pigments more assimilable and thus benefit even better from the benefits.
Organic astaxanthin is of interest to everyone and more particularly to people concerned about aging well, athletes who play intensely on an outdoor playground, people sensitive to the sun and who face sun allergies every summer, people who work spend a long time on screens and who experience visual fatigue and dry eyes, etc.
This pigment in its natural form, that is to say from the algae Haematococus pluvialis, is a recommended solution for people who seek to protect their organs naturally against the risk of oxidation:

]]>Lithotamne is a calcareous algae measuring approximately 2 cm, blue-purple in color when alive.
It has ramifications that become apparent in adulthood. They are composed of approximately 95% mineral matter.
Dietary lithotamne corresponds to the skeleton, mainly limestone, of this algae, very rich in trace elements (19 in total).
It is found in permanently submerged areas all around the planet: notably in the Atlantic, the North Sea, the English Channel and the Mediterranean.
Thanks to its particular structure, organic lithotamne is an optimal source of calcium and vitamin D2. Its benefits are numerous, calcium contributes:
Lithotamne also contains vitamin D which contributes to the normal absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus.
It can be consumed by everyone from childhood. It is recommended for:
The benefits of lithotamne are closely linked to its trace element composition. Indeed, it contains – among other things – more than 74 minerals including calcium and magnesium in forms that are particularly assimilated by the body .
Lithotamne is made up of more than 98% mineral substance.
It is rich in calcium, present in the form of carbonate. Thus, its consumption at standard dosages covers 100% of the recommended intakes.
Vitamin D2 allows the optimal use of calcium in the bones, by promoting its fixation.
]]>Phycocyanin, the noblest element of spirulina, has numerous effects.
Phycocyanin is a blue pigment , associated with a carrier protein, naturally present in spirulina . In order for you to benefit from all its effects, the pigment must be dissociated from its protein to be absorbed at the intestinal level.
Unfortunately, for dry spirulina, this dissociation requires a significant period of time (around 36 hours in vivo ). As the phycocyanin absorption zone is reached much more quickly, the phycocyanin from dry spirulina is absorbed and therefore used very little. Subsequently, the pigment is dissociated by the digestion process and assimilated like any other compound, without allowing its particular activity. Taking dry spirulina for its phycocyanin intake is therefore illusory.
Conversely, the consumption of a phycocyanin concentrate allows the supply of the pigment in free form (not linked to its carrier protein), directly assimilated by the body. Thus, thanks to this type of phycocyanin extract, the assimilation of the pigment is ideal, which allows it to optimally produce numerous effects.

1. Immunity
Indeed, vitamin B12 from phycocyanin contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system. It can be consumed by adults and children.
2. Oxygen transport
Vitamin B12 from phycocyanin contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells. These are the oxygen transporters of our body.
Thus, phycocyanin is particularly recommended for athletes.

Known for its richness in chlorophyll and the presence of vitamin B12, chlorella also stands out for other exceptional properties.
Discover the nutritional composition of chlorella in detail:
Chlorella algae is rich in plant proteins (50% of its weight) which are easily assimilated when the chlorella membrane is open. It contains the 8 essential amino acids for adults.
Present at 10% in chlorella, fatty acids are mainly present in the form of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Omega-3s represent 35% of the lipids in chlorella.
The fibers of the chlorella membrane represent 15% of its weight, they are not digestible and need to be broken to allow the assimilation of the components of the micro-algae.
The vitamins in chlorella are numerous and provide some of its capabilities. They are present naturally in chlorella, particularly in the form of vitamin B1, 2, 6, 9, 12, C, K, E. Vitamin B12 is absent from all common plants. Chlorella therefore constitutes an interesting contribution for vegetarians and vegans[1].
Large amounts of minerals are present in chlorella (10% of its composition).
The chlorophyll in chlorella gives it its green color. It is the plant richest in this pigment with 2 to 4% of its weight.

]]>Very popular for several years, the purchase of spirulina must be done with the greatest caution. Indeed, many players are taking advantage of this craze to offer very poor quality spirulina, or even algae that look like spirulina but are not, and the consumption of which can be very dangerous for your health.
The terms “ spirulina ”, “spirulina”, “spirulina cyanophycea algae”, “Spirulina platensis” or “Arthrospira platensis” must be written on the label and thus guarantee the quality of the product. The level of spirulina in the tablets must be greater than 98% and the product must not contain any preservatives or colorings. Granular or powder forms must have a 100% spirulina content. Click on the following link if you want to know more about the composition of Spirulina .
The spirulina should have a beautiful dark green and matte color .
A bright color indicates that the spirulina has been crushed, compacted and covered with a layer of binder to prevent it from falling apart again.
The packaging should contain little dust. The presence of dust also indicates that the spirulina has been atomized and then compacted, thus losing some of its nutritional qualities.

This algae certainly has a particular smell, but it should not be unpleasant. An odor that is too strong indicates that the rate of oxidation is high and that the product is degraded.
The dissolution rate of spirulina must be:
– nor too fast , so that the product passes through the stomach and releases its active ingredients in the intestine, where they can be absorbed by our body
– nor too slow , because in this case, the product will only be poorly absorbed during its digestive journey. The nutrients contained in the product will be absorbed by our body in smaller quantities.
For an effect on health, it is therefore important to choose a good spirulina.
In the first few days, spirulina can in rare cases cause slight gas. This is why it is advisable to proceed with a progressive dosage of the product. The presence of excessive gases, on the other hand, is generally an indication of a product of inferior quality or degraded.

It is during this phase that it captures the nutrients and minerals responsible for its benefits. Harvesting and drying using ancestral techniques results in a high quality product.
Thanks to its complex nutritional composition, maca has many benefits recognized for more than 5000 years [1]. The iron contained in this Peruvian ginseng allows it to contribute:
Combined with the benefits of spirulina, maca provides an overall energy boost.
The spirulina and maca synergy is recommended for anyone looking for vitality or wishing to increase their performance.
If you have high blood pressure or a metabolic problem, it is important to seek advice from your doctor.
Maca draws its benefits from its particularly interesting composition of vitamins and minerals. It contains, among other things, vitamins B1, B2, B12, C, D3 and E as well as potassium, calcium, phosphorus and iron. It also contains between 10 and 15% protein containing 19 of the 20 existing amino acids.
Spirulina combined with maca contains all the vitamins and many minerals. Thus the synergy of these two products, alongside the adaptogenic action of maca, contributes to its action.

]]>Spirulina is a cyanobacteria or blue-green micro-algae that appeared 3.5 billion years ago on Earth. It is particularly recognizable by its spiral shape measuring 0.2 to 0.5 mm long.
This unicellular organism capable of photosynthesis is at the origin of all terrestrial plants as well as the appearance of aerobic living beings (which use oxygen to live).
Its appearance made it possible, through this process of photosynthesis, to transform the unbreathable atmosphere into a viable environment for organisms using oxygen.
Currently, it is considered that 90% of the earth's oxygen (around 330 billion tonnes) comes from algae.
Present on all continents except Antarctica, blue-green microalgae are represented by 1,500 species, 36 of which are edible. Traces of Spirulina are found in the natural state when certain conditions are met (warm, alkaline waters and very rich in mineral salts) and located between 35° North and 35° South. Spirulina is even present in the Sinai desert, where only a few drops of water can be enough to “awaken” it. As it dries, spirulina transforms into green particles which keep very well.
In Mexico, the Aztecs already consumed spirulina during the reign of Emperor Montezuma (1467 -1520). Fond of fish, the latter actually commissioned athletic couriers to cover the 300km that separate the Gulf of Mexico from Mexico in order to be able to eat fresh fish. These runners took turns and were able to cover large distances thanks to their natural EPO … dried spirulina! Harvested using extremely fine mesh nets in the form of a blue-green mud, it was dried into cakes, eaten with cereals and seasoned with chilmolli (sauce made from tomato, chili and spices).
Spirulina from Mexico has unfortunately disappeared. Indeed, the conquistadors dried up the lakes providing Spirulina in order to create agricultural land to grow corn, tomatoes, etc. or transform them into pastures. This is how spirulina was forgotten. It was in 1960 that a French engineer took charge of a soda production factory in Mexico and fought against a blue mud which stuck the machines, he then burned this substance with the garbage until the day he identifies as spirulina.
On the shores of Lake Chad , spirulina forms a thick green carpet harvested by the Kanembous tribe. Traditionally, women collect spirulina using woven baskets and drain this mud on the sand of the dunes, in full sun. This dihé is consumed daily in a sauce and becomes a real food which makes up the bulk of the ration during periods of famine. It is thanks to spirulina that these tribes as well as the children seem safe from malnutrition.
Spirulina should be part of the basic equipment of astronauts traveling to Mars. Thanks to its high concentration of macronutrients (including proteins), vitamins and minerals, it ensures a suitable diet. Easily cultivable and allowing the recycling of wastewater and the production of oxygen by consuming CO2, Spirulina is ideal for this type of mission where yield and space requirements are optimized.
Spirulina is an ancient food consumed throughout the world, and probably soon beyond. Long before the discovery of its components and mechanisms of action, this micro-algae was already consumed for therapeutic and performance purposes .

]]>Chlorella, also called chlorella, is a single-celled green algae grown in fresh water. Just like spirulina, it is rich in vitamins, iron, minerals, proteins and trace elements but has the particularity of being very concentrated in chlorophyll .
Used for thousands of years in Japan, it is today for them a food of national interest for health and its nutritional value.
Chlorella is recognized by health professionals for its high bioavailability, its high absorption by the body and its role as a "Superfood".
At the time of preparation, the cell membrane of the algae is opened following a patented process in order to offer a digestibility rate greater than 80% while preserving the acidic principles of the micronutrients.
Organic chlorella is rich in vitamin B12, which makes it a supplement of choice for people wishing to supplement their daily nutritional intake, such as vegans, vegetarians or people with low meat consumption.

]]>Afa klamath is a blue algae, just like spirulina or chlorella.
Its richness in vitamin B12 gives AFA Klamath a role in the process of cell division and the normal functioning of the nervous system.
It grows naturally in a unique site far from any pollution: Klamath Lake , Oregon (USA).
The water of the lake, of great purity and neutral PH , comes from the melting of snow and ice from the surrounding volcanic mountains, some of which rise to more than 1262 m.
This is why it is also called klamath algae, or klamath.
Thanks to the unique growing site rich in nutrients, klamath is one of the most complete foods on the planet. The benefits of AFA Klamath due to vitamin B12 are numerous:
Of course, other effects of vitamin B12 should be noted: reduction of fatigue, normal functioning of the immune system, normal formation of red blood cells.
Klamath AFA also contains natural phenylethylamine (PEA).
This superfood can be recommended to everyone from childhood during periods of high activity.
The secret of organic AFA klamath lies in its exceptional composition, rich in micronutrients and trace elements. It contains more than 65 vitamins, minerals, amino acids and essential fatty acids. Due to its structure, the absorption of essential nutrients is optimal, with assimilation and effective use of 95%.
Chlorella is a green algae that appeared on Earth more than 2 billion years ago. Made up of a single spherical cell, it owes its color to the chlorophyll (photosynthesis pigment) which it contains in exceptional quantities .
Discovered in 1890 by Dutch microbiologist Martinus Willem Beijerinck, the chlorella species has been divided since 2004 into three varieties [1]: chlorella vulgaris, chlorella lobophora and chlorella sorokiniana. Chlorella vulgaris is currently the most cultivated because it is most suited to algae farms.
Historically, chlorella was produced and consumed first in Asia, mainly in Japan, then very quickly, the island of Formosa (present-day Taiwan) became the world's leading producer.
In addition, since 1950, much research has been carried out when chlorella was thought to be a useful food to counter the possible global food shortage [2] linked to the increase in population. Unfortunately, difficult to digest in its natural state, chlorella was not chosen as a viable solution. In fact, its wall is made up of cellulose which needs to be broken before consuming it. Discover our 100% natural Chlorella !
Its therapeutic capabilities are, for their part, proven. In Japan, it is even considered a food of national health interest and in 1957, the institute for research on chlorella was created there.

Spirulina is a blue-green algae known as one of the richest foods on the planet. Its many abilities also seem linked to the composition of spirulina which is unusual. But what is it really? What does spirulina contain? What are the nutritional values of spirulina?
Present in spirulina , proteins are the building blocks of muscle , it is the most represented element in the body after water (nearly 62% of the body weight in water and 17% in proteins). They are also the basis of many metabolic processes (immunity, cellular repair, etc.) and constitute a large number of enzymes and hormones .
Each protein is made up of a sequence using 20 amino acids on the same principle that a word uses a sequence of 26 letters.
These amino acids present in protein can be supplied through food or manufactured by the body . However, some cannot be produced by the body, these are called essential amino acids , of which there are 8 in adults and 10 in children. In the common diet, animal proteins provide all these essential amino acids while plant proteins are individually incomplete.
The missing amino acid(s) are then called “limiting factors” because they limit the production of proteins using this amino acid. In the long term, a deficiency in essential amino acids causes the same effects as a protein deficiency. This is why it is important to vary the sources of plant proteins in order to benefit from all these amino acids.
The composition of spirulina is very rich in proteins ( 60-70% of its dry weight) [1] of high biological value. It contains all the essential amino acids for both adults and children. The spirulina membrane dissolves easily under the effect of gastric acidity, which guarantees the proper assimilation of these 20 amino acids.
The composition of spirulina also contains lipids. Lipids make up nearly 14% of our weight: they are the architects of our cell membranes . The lipids are organized in a double layer in order to isolate the interior of the cells from the environment in which they are immersed. The nature of these lipids modifies membrane flexibility and influences the quality of message transmission between cells.
Lipids are also found in the nervous system (the brain contains 60%). They create a sheath around the nerves, which allows information to be conducted much more quickly.
Finally, lipids contained in adipose tissue play a role in energy storage and thermal regulation .
Spirulina lipids represent 2 to 4% of its total weight. They present an optimal balance between omega-3 and 6, guaranteeing good cardiovascular health. Spirulina is particularly rich in essential fatty acids with a high level of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA)[2] which participate in hormonal synthesis . GLA is only found in borage, evening primrose and blackcurrant oils as well as in breast milk and spirulina. The subclass of dihomo gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA) is, for its part, only present in spirulina and breast milk. These fatty acids are provided by food or transformed by the body from omega-6.
Carbohydrates provide the direct energy supply of a food. They represent 1.5% of body weight. When consuming glucose, part is immediately integrated into the cells thanks to the intervention of insulin, the other part is stored in the liver and muscles in the form of glycogen, an energy reserve .
Present at approximately 20% in dry spirulina, its carbohydrates are mainly provided in the form of glycogen and rhamnose. Glycogen is the storage form of carbohydrates in the body that can be quickly mobilized . These two sugars cause very little variation in blood sugar levels and minimally mobilize insulin and therefore the pancreas.
Components of spirulina, vitamins are responsible for metabolism , development and cellular protection . Apart from vitamin D which is synthesized by the skin, all vitamins must be provided through food . Currently 13 of them are known but their roles have not yet been fully identified. Some of them can be stored in the body's fatty tissues or in the liver and muscles (vitamins A, B9, B12 D and E).
The most interesting vitamins present in spirulina are:
Minerals represent 6% of body weight. They are present in very large quantities mainly in the skeleton, and must be supplied through the diet . The most interesting minerals in spirulina are:
Spirulina is a blue-green microalgae containing a large number of pigments.
Thus, given the quantity and quality of the components of spirulina, it is possible to say that it has a particularly interesting and complete nutritional composition.

]]>DHA is a fatty acid essential for the proper functioning of the brain and eyes. It is produced naturally by the body, through a conversion process, from αlinolenic acid.
It is also found in food, in small fatty fish such as sardines, mackerel, herring, etc.
We now know that DHA production decreases with aging while the body's needs increase. We also know that DHA is not sufficient to cover needs during pregnancy.
Hence the interest in DHA supplementation for seniors and pregnant women.
100% natural DHA is found in the algae Schizochytrium sp. [1] and it is possible to extract from this algae an oil extremely rich in omega-3 DHA.
DHA supplements usually come from fatty fish oils. People adopting a vegetarian or vegan diet are generally deficient in omega 3 DHA, which is essential for the development of the body. Omega 3 DHA from Schizochytrium sp algae. are distinguished by their 100% plant origin. They are therefore suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets.
The conversion process in the body of omega 3 and 6 is long and complex. Other external factors such as stress can make it more complex and reduce the final synthesis of DHA. This is why it is preferable to consume fatty fish to benefit from a direct supply of DHA, requiring no processing. When eating a 100% plant-based diet, DHA intake depends solely on production by the body. Given the different factors influencing the latter, a DHA deficiency in vegan people is not uncommon.
This is why omega 3 DHA supplementation for vegans is recommended.
By promoting plant-based consumption of omega 3 DHA from algae, this offers the benefit of limiting the problems linked to overfishing and the contamination of oily fish by heavy metals.
Regular consumption of 100% natural Omega 3 DHA contributes to the balance of the omega-6 / omega-3 balance: ultra-processed foods contain far too much omega-6 to the detriment of omega-3.
The body's production of DHA decreases with age. Seniors are therefore recommended an external intake of DHA. DHA is part of the composition of cell membranes, it allows greater fluidity and better cellular communication.
