What is spirulina?
Spirulina is a blue-green microalga (a cyanobacterium, Arthrospira platensis) that grows naturally in the alkaline lakes of warm regions. It is one of the most nutrient-dense foods in the plant world: it contains 55 to 70% protein, iron, vitamin B12, beta-carotene, B vitamins and phycocyanin, the blue pigment that gives it its colour. Eaten for centuries by the Aztecs and the peoples of Lake Chad, it is now one of the most widely used food supplements in Switzerland and Europe.
Algorigin Organic Spirulina is grown in freshwater ponds at an altitude of 2,500 metres, in a pure, sunny environment. It is then dried at low temperature, which preserves the integrity of its cell membrane and its active compounds while giving it a neutral taste and smell, without the bitterness of spirulina dried at high temperatures.

What are the benefits of spirulina?
Spirulina is a natural source of iron, vitamin B12 and protein. Its recognised benefits are based on these nutrients:
Energy and tiredness
Iron contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Vitamin B12 also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. This is the number one reason our customers choose a course of spirulina: to support their energy every day, especially in winter and during busy periods.
Immunity
Iron and vitamin B12 contribute to the normal function of the immune system. A 3-month course at the start of autumn is the most common approach.
Oxygen transport and red blood cells
Iron contributes to normal oxygen transport in the body and to normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal red blood cell formation.
Cognitive function and nervous system
Iron contributes to normal cognitive function. Vitamin B12 contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to normal psychological function.
Protein for sport and vegetarian diets
With 3.25 g of protein per dose, spirulina provides complete plant protein (all 8 essential amino acids). Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass. That's why spirulina is so popular with athletes and people cutting down on meat.
Spirulina and hair, skin, nails
Spirulina has no claim of its own for hair or skin. For targeted “skin, hair and nails” support, we have formulated Spirulina Zinc, whose zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, skin and nails.
Who is it for?
For the whole family
Organic Spirulina is suitable for adults and children (adjusted dosage), for people whose diet isn't always balanced, and for anyone who wants to look after their health simply, day after day.
For athletes
Plant protein, iron for oxygen transport, vitamin B12 for energy metabolism: spirulina supports training and recovery. For immediate recovery after exercise, discover our liquid phycocyanin.
For women
Women's iron needs are higher than men's. Organic Spirulina provides 39% of the NRV for iron; if your needs are higher (heavy periods, pregnancy, postpartum), our Organic Spirulina Iron provides 93% of the NRV.
For vegetarians and vegans
A 100% plant-based source of protein and iron. For active vitamin B12, combine it with our Organic Chlorella (77% NRV for B12).

Frequently asked questions about spirulina
What are the benefits of spirulina?
Spirulina is a source of iron, vitamin B12 and protein. Iron and vitamin B12 contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the normal function of the immune system. Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass.
How should I take spirulina, and how many tablets a day?
6 to 10 tablets a day, with a meal and some water. Start with 4 tablets for the first few days. A jar lasts 30 to 40 days.
Should spirulina be taken in the morning or the evening?
At any time of day, ideally with a meal. Spirulina contains no caffeine or stimulants, so taking it in the evening is not a problem.
Does spirulina have any risks or contraindications?
Spirulina is a food that has been eaten for centuries and is well tolerated. It is not recommended for people with phenylketonuria and, as a precaution, for those taking anticoagulant treatment (vitamin K) or with haemochromatosis (iron), unless medically advised. A quality spirulina, tested batch by batch like ours, rules out the risk of contamination (heavy metals, microcystins) associated with spirulina of uncertain origin.
Can you take spirulina during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
Algorigin Organic Spirulina contains no alcohol and no additives. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, ask your midwife or doctor, particularly about iron intake. Our Pregnancy Pack was put together with our medical committee.
Is spirulina suitable for children?
Yes, with an adapted dosage (2 to 4 tablets a day depending on age). Ask your pharmacist for advice.
Is spirulina a source of vitamin B12 for vegans?
Spirulina contains vitamin B12, but partly in the form of largely inactive analogues. For active B12, combine it with our Organic Chlorella (77% NRV).
What is the difference between Organic Spirulina and Spirulina Iron?
Organic Spirulina provides 5.25 mg of iron per dose (39% NRV). Organic Spirulina Iron is enriched with iron in the cultivation ponds and provides 13 mg (93% NRV): it is intended for high iron needs.
Chlorella or spirulina: which should I choose?
Spirulina is richer in protein and iron; chlorella is richer in active vitamin B12 and chlorophyll. Many of our customers take both, alternately or together.
How can you recognise quality spirulina?
A stated origin, organic certification, low-temperature drying, published batch analyses (heavy metals, microbiology) and a neutral taste. That's the specification Algorigin spirulina is made to.
Is Algorigin spirulina Swiss?
Algorigin is a Swiss brand. Our spirulina is grown at altitude in the Andes (the Swiss climate does not allow organic outdoor cultivation all year round), then tested and packaged in Switzerland. It is sold in more than 600 Swiss pharmacies.
How long does a jar last, and how long does delivery take?
One jar lasts 30 to 40 days. Order before 4 pm and your parcel is shipped the same day and delivered by Swiss Post within 2 to 3 working days. Payment by invoice available. 90-day money-back guarantee.
