Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) is a cyanobacterium, often called “blue-green algae”, grown in warm, alkaline water ponds. Once dried, it yields a dark green powder made up largely of protein and coloured by its pigments, including blue phycocyanin. It is taken as tablets, as a powder or as a liquid extract.

Spirulina: composition, forms and organic supplements

Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis, long known as Spirulina platensis) is not a plant but a cyanobacterium: a micro-organism capable of photosynthesis, often nicknamed “blue-green algae”. It owes its name to its spiral-coiled filaments.

It grows naturally in warm, alkaline lakes. The Aztecs harvested it from Lake Texcoco in Mexico, and it has long been eaten around Lake Chad, dried into cakes. Today, it is mainly grown in ponds, then filtered and dried.

A cyanobacterium

A micro-organism with spiral filaments, not an alga in the strict sense.

Mostly protein

Protein makes up a large share of its dry weight.

A blue pigment

Phycocyanin, which, together with chlorophyll, gives it its blue-green hue.

Composition

What does spirulina contain?

Its composition varies with the strain and growing conditions, but it always contains:

Protein

The main constituent of dried spirulina.

Pigments

Blue phycocyanin, green chlorophyll and orange carotenoids.

Minerals

Iron in particular, in varying amounts depending on the growing medium.

Forms

Spirulina tablets, powder or liquid phycocyanin?

Whole spirulina comes as a powder, to be mixed into a juice or smoothie, or as tablets, which are more practical and free of its strong taste. It is also included in formulas combining several “superfoods”, such as chlorella.

Phycocyanin, on the other hand, is an extract: the blue pigment is isolated from spirulina to obtain a standardised liquid, sold in ampoules or in a bottle. It is therefore no longer whole spirulina, but one of its components. Note: the vitamin B12 found in spirulina is largely a form that is inactive in humans; spirulina is not considered a reliable source of this vitamin.

What research says

Spirulina benefits: where does the science stand?

Its unusual composition makes spirulina a widely studied food. Researchers are particularly interested in phycocyanin, its properties as a pigment and how it behaves in the body.

To date, no health claim relating to spirulina or phycocyanin is authorised in the European Union. This research therefore does not allow any particular effect to be attributed to a food supplement containing them. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, ask your doctor for advice.

Frequently asked questions

Spirulina FAQ

Is spirulina an alga?

Not in the strict sense: it is a cyanobacterium. It is called “blue-green algae” because it lives in water and carries out photosynthesis.

What is the difference between spirulina and phycocyanin?

Spirulina is the whole, dried organism. Phycocyanin is the blue pigment extracted from it to be offered in liquid form.

Can spirulina be combined with magnesium, omega-3 or vitamin D?

These products are different and can be taken alongside each other, following the dose stated on each label. If in doubt or if you are taking medication, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Can spirulina be taken while breastfeeding?

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, ask your doctor for advice before taking a food supplement.

Where can I buy organic spirulina?

In organic shops, pharmacies or online. At NATURAMedicatrix, it is offered as organic tablets and as liquid phycocyanin.
