WHAT IS LIVE SPIRULINA?
Spirulina Platensis is one of the blue-green types of algae and delivers incredible nutritional value with just a single mouthful. In fact, out of all the plant-based proteins, Spirulina is the most nutrient-dense.
Only found in blue-green algae, phycocyanin is a blue protein that captures the blue, yellow and red spectrum of the sun. Phycocyanin can’t be found anywhere else on the planet.
Spirulina has been consumed as a valuable source of protein for tens of thousands of years. Our bodies recognize Spirulina instantly, making it one of the most easily digested forms of plant-based protein. Brimming over with amino acids and other essential building blocks of nutrition, Spirulina is a rich source of protein that benefits everyone.
At Royal Spirulina, we only use Spirulina which is living and raw, bringing you the maximum benefits with every serving. You won’t find more potent Spirulina anywhere else in the world so try Royal Spirulina for powerful plant nutrition that you can trust.
The Root of Life
The beautiful blue-green microalgae which is Spirulina is one of the oldest life forms on the planet. This is why it’s been referred to as the “root of life”.
Spirulina has been around for more than 3.5 billion years and helped to create the oxygen that allowed life on Earth to develop and grow.
Over time, the algae evolved into primitive creatures which could utilize the carbon dioxide which was held within the water. This is what helped the ozone layer to form, and as they began to release large quantities of oxygen an environment compatible with life was created on the surface of Earth.
This process allowed plant life and animals to flourish, develop and evolve into the world that we have today.
But Spirulina wasn’t finished with giving a helping hand. One of its blue pigments, phycocyanin, evolved into another substance we now know as chlorophyll-a. Chlorophyll-a is vital for photosynthesis in plants but also found within the hemoglobin in the red blood cells from animals.
When you consider the diverse and influential role this tiny algae has played in the evolution of the planet, it’s perhaps not surprising to discover that it’s one of the most powerful superfoods around.
Royal Spirulina is as fresh as it gets. We grow and harvest our Spirulina in California USA where the air is clean and the water is pure. Our definition of the word fresh is exactly what you should expect it to be.
Our fresh Spirulina is frozen and carefully packed into food grade bags then shipped to you the next day via FedEx or USPS.
Our focus is to improve the health and well being of our people and our planet by reducing the environmental impact with every package shipped.
A Whole Food
Unlike many other types of supplement, living Spirulina from Royal Spirulina is raw food that’s whole, and not simply an isolated nutrient that’s manufactured synthetically.
Our Spirulina is packed full of nutrients including our dried Spirulina, with a clean taste. According to a NASA study from 2012, consuming one pound of Spirulina has the same nutritional value as consuming one thousand pounds of fresh vegetables!
Every spoonful of our Spirulina containing lots of living cells – there are billions in every serving! Taking it on an empty stomach will maximize the bioavailability, delivering the greatest health benefits.
There are lots of ways to enjoy our Spirulina – you could even gobble up Spirulina with your oatmeal, or pancake mix if using powder! Alternatively, you can add it into your drink; that’s a great way for your children to receive the valuable nutrients of Spirulina. Mixing it up with some fresh coconut water is one of our favorite drinks!
Delicate and Delicious
Perhaps you’ve tried dried Spirulina elsewhere and despite the health benefits, been deterred by the unpleasant odor or sour taste. There’s no denying the unquestionable nutritional value of Spirulina but managing bad smells and flavors can make it unpalatable.
All we can say is try fresh Spirulina. All of the Spirulina we produce is fresh, alive and raw – and this means there’s no foul odor and the taste is light, delicate and clean. Fresh Spirulina and dried Spirulina are differnt apart. It takes 12lbs of fresh spirulina to make 1lbs of powder which is very concentrated but not 100% bioavailabile for the body. You won’t believe the difference unless you give it a try!
As our Spirulina is raw and uncooked, you’ll find all the nutrients are at their peak. This is what gives the fullest, gentle clean aroma and flavor that’s so enjoyable. If you’ve seen others savoring every sip of Spirulina, you can be sure that it’s the fresh taste of live Spirulina and not the dead algae contained in powders.
Royal Spirulina is just how nature intended, with no artificial chemicals or simulated laboratory processing. Plant-based nutrition which is fully bio-available and delivers a high efficacy rate just got delicious with Royal Spirulina!
Fresh and Locally Grown
Research carried out by National Renewable Energy Laboratory and Arizona State University has concluded that California conditions make it the perfect setting for growing algae. The constant temperature with no severe hikes or drops, along with the humidity provide an environment which allows algae to be cultivated to its maximum potential.
Royal Spirulina is based on a small organic farm in the heart of south California, and we are passionate about bringing you fresh produce. We’re able to harvest our Spirulina every week without any dilution through processing. This means that our Spirulina will reach you quickly and still in prime, fresh condition allowing you to enjoy the fullest health benefits possible.
