Arthrospira platensis | Complete Protein · Cholesterol Support · Antioxidant · Energy
Near Lake Chad, the Kanembu people have harvested a vivid blue-green algae called "dihe" as a dietary staple for generations. Thousands of miles away, Aztec chroniclers documented the same algae being harvested from Lake Texcoco. Two cultures, worlds apart, both landed on spirulina.
Spirulina's nutritional reputation centers on phycocyanin, its signature blue pigment-protein, studied in preclinical research for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.* Clinical trials have also explored spirulina's relationship to cholesterol and blood pressure already within normal range, alongside its naturally complete amino acid profile.*
Why Spirulina?
- May support cholesterol levels already within normal range*
- May support blood pressure already within normal range*
- May support normal, healthy immune function*
- Contains all nine essential amino acids — complete protein
- May support the body's normal, healthy inflammatory response*
- Naturally nutrient-dense, ideal stirred into smoothies or juice
- Rooted in independent African and Mesoamerican dietary traditions
- May support normal, healthy energy levels*
How to Use
- Stir or blend 1 tsp spirulina powder into cold water, juice, or a smoothie
- Not traditionally steeped as a tea — spirulina is heat-sensitive, so cold or room-temperature liquid preserves its nutrient profile best
Traditional tip: Start with a half teaspoon if you're new to spirulina — its bold, ocean-forward flavor is easiest to love gradually.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I steep this like tea? No — spirulina is heat-sensitive. Stir it into cold water, juice, or a smoothie instead.
Is it safe if I have an autoimmune condition? Consult your healthcare provider before use — spirulina may stimulate immune activity.
Where should I source spirulina from? Always from a tested, reputable supplier — algae can concentrate environmental contaminants if grown in unregulated water. Ours is carefully sourced with that in mind.
Is it safe during pregnancy? Consult your healthcare provider before use if pregnant or breastfeeding.
