Organic Spirulina Iron – well-absorbed plant-based iron
Persistent tiredness is often a sign of low iron. Algorigin Spirulina Iron provides 93% of the NRV for iron, in a well-tolerated plant form.
Our Spirulina Iron doesn't just contain iron: the mineral is added to the cultivation ponds, high in the Andes, and bound into the heart of the algae as it grows. The result: 13 mg of iron per 4-tablet dose (93% NRV), carried by the spirulina's plant matrix, without the digestive discomfort of standard iron salts. Certified organic spirulina, 100% natural, preservative-free, packaged in Switzerland. Algorigin is a Swiss brand: Spirulina Iron is available in more than 600 pharmacies and drugstores (Amavita, Sun Store, Zur Rose…).
Less tiredness: iron contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
More energy and oxygen: iron contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to normal oxygen transport in the body.
Red blood cells and immunity: iron contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin and to the normal function of the immune system.

What is Spirulina Iron?
Spirulina Iron is an organic spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) whose cultivation ponds are enriched with iron. The algae incorporates the mineral into its plant matrix as it grows, exactly as it does in its natural environment. The iron is therefore carried by the plant, rather than added on top in the form of a salt (sulphate, fumarate), as in most iron supplements.
Standard spirulina provides around 5 mg of iron per dose; Algorigin Spirulina Iron provides 13 mg, or 93% of the NRV, in 4 tablets. It is currently the best-selling iron spirulina in pharmacies in French-speaking Switzerland. Compare with our standard Organic Spirulina
What are the benefits of Spirulina Iron?
Reducing tiredness
Iron contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Tiredness is the first sign of insufficient iron intake, especially in women, athletes and people who eat little or no meat.
Energy and oxygen transport
Iron contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to normal oxygen transport in the body (haemoglobin).
Red blood cell formation
Iron contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin.
Immunity and cognitive function
Iron contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to normal cognitive function.
Spirulina Iron and hair
Iron deficiency is a common cause of diffuse hair loss. Iron contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism; for direct support for your hair, the zinc in our Spirulina Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal hair.
Who is it for?
Women
Periods, pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding: women's iron needs are twice as high as men's. Spirulina Iron is the Algorigin product most often recommended in pharmacies to women who feel tired.
Vegetarians and vegans
Plant (non-haem) iron is less well absorbed than iron from animal sources. A concentrated, well-tolerated source such as Spirulina Iron makes it possible to cover your intake without meat. See also our Vegan Pack.
Athletes
Endurance exercise increases iron losses. Iron contributes to normal oxygen transport in the body, which is central to performance.
Teenagers and seniors
Periods of growth or reduced appetite: the dosage can be adjusted for children and teenagers. Ask your pharmacist for advice.

They take and recommend Organic Spirulina Iron
Energy restored
I often had energy slumps, and after a few weeks on the course I feel much fitter. 💪 My days are more active. It's a supplement I highly recommend.
A good supplement for tiredness
I feel more energetic and need fewer naps. I'd have liked it to work faster, but every body has its own pace. I recommend it to anyone who wants to support their energy every day, naturally.
Good supplement for iron
Since I started taking this supplement, I feel less tired day to day. It's easy to take, and I much prefer iron carried by an algae to a synthetic tablet. A good, more natural option in my view.
Very good supplement
I’m vegetarian and I take Spirulina Iron all year round, which helps me meet my iron needs. Good product, I recommend it.
Spirulina Iron, an excellent product
Delighted with this product: my daughter and I take it as a course several times a year. Ladies, if you're feeling run down, think about your iron: this has become our go-to, and I highly recommend it.
A good alternative
My daughter has been taking Spirulina Iron for several months and it has really made a difference for us. It fits easily into her daily life: it's become our natural way of covering her iron intake.
Laboratory testing
Purity isn't something you claim, it's something you verify. We have both our raw materials and our finished products laboratory-tested for purity and active compound content, and we publish the results.
Less tiredness
Iron contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
More energy and oxygen
Iron contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to normal oxygen transport in the body.
Red blood cells and immunity
Iron contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin and to the normal function of the immune system.
Dosage: how should I take Spirulina Iron?
Take 4 Spirulina Iron tablets a day, ideally before a meal, with a glass of water or orange juice. A jar lasts 30 days.
Spirulina iron and vitamin C
Vitamin C increases the absorption of non-haem iron. Take your tablets with fruit or a juice rich in vitamin C, and avoid tea and coffee for an hour afterwards (tannins reduce absorption).
When should I take Spirulina Iron: morning or evening?
In the morning before breakfast or before lunch, for optimal absorption on an empty stomach. If you have a sensitive stomach, take it at the start of a meal.
How long does a course of Spirulina Iron last?
At least 3 months: iron stores (ferritin) build up slowly in the body. Have your ferritin checked by your doctor before and after the course. If you have been diagnosed with anaemia, Spirulina Iron complements the prescribed treatment; it does not replace it.
Precautions
Not recommended in cases of hyperferritinaemia. Adapted dosage for children (1 to 2 tablets). If you are on anticoagulants, seek medical advice.

Origin and purity
Spirulina Iron is grown at an altitude of 2,500 metres in the Andes, in freshwater ponds enriched with iron throughout the algae's growth. It is dried at low temperature, which preserves its active compounds and gives it a neutral taste.
Every batch is laboratory-tested (iron content, heavy metals, microbiology) and undergoes strict toxicological checks; the certificates are available to view. Packaged in Switzerland in a brown glass jar.

Frequently asked questions about Spirulina Iron
Is spirulina rich in iron?
Yes: standard spirulina provides around 5 mg of iron per dose. Algorigin Spirulina Iron, enriched during cultivation, provides 13 mg, or 93% of the NRV.
Spirulina Iron or conventional iron tablets: what is the difference?
Standard iron tablets contain an isolated iron salt (sulphate, fumarate, bisglycinate), often high-dose and poorly tolerated. In Spirulina Iron, the iron is incorporated into the algae's plant matrix as it grows: a physiological dose, good tolerance and extra protein.
Is the iron in spirulina easily absorbed?
The iron in spirulina is non-haem iron, whose absorption is improved by vitamin C and the plant matrix. Take your tablets with orange juice and away from tea or coffee.
Does Spirulina Iron have side effects?
No known side effects at the recommended doses. Unlike iron salts, it does not cause constipation or nausea in most users. It is not recommended in cases of hyperferritinaemia.
Can you take Spirulina Iron during pregnancy?
Iron needs rise sharply during pregnancy. Spirulina Iron contains no alcohol and no additives; ask your midwife or gynaecologist, who will monitor your ferritin. See our Pregnancy Pack.
Spirulina Iron and low ferritin, spirulina and anaemia?
If your ferritin is low without anaemia, a 3-month course of Spirulina Iron helps cover your intake. If you have been diagnosed with anaemia, it complements the treatment prescribed by your doctor; it does not replace it.
How many Spirulina Iron tablets per day?
4 tablets a day, before a meal. A jar of 120 tablets lasts 30 days.
When should I take Spirulina Iron: morning or evening?
Ideally in the morning on an empty stomach or before lunch, with a food rich in vitamin C.
Can Spirulina Iron and Organic Spirulina be combined?
Yes. Standard Organic Spirulina covers everyday needs; Spirulina Iron meets increased needs. Many customers alternate: Spirulina Iron for 3 months, then Organic Spirulina for the rest of the year.
Is Spirulina Iron suitable for vegans?
Yes, it is 100% plant-based and gluten-free. For active vitamin B12, add our organic chlorella.
