Organic French Spirulina

What is spirulina?

Spirulina (Spirulina platensis (Gomont) Geitler) is a blue-green microalgae found naturally in fresh and salt water. It is known for its high nutritional content and as a powerful source of protein¹. Its composition also includes vitamins, minerals, and many bioactive compounds including phycocyanin, beta carotenes and chlorophyll.

Spirulina has become a popular food supplement, especially in vegan or vegetarian diets, which need an extra intake of foods containing high-quality plant proteins. Even if you're not following a vegan diet, spirulina is still a natural and highly nutritious product, and always an excellent option to include in a healthy and balanced diet.

Quality

Because it's grown in France

French spirulina is known for its high quality and purity, because of France's strict production and control standards.

Buying French spirulina grown in a controlled environment at low temperatures guarantees a product free from contaminants and additives, making it a perfect choice for anyone seeking a truly natural supplement.

The temperate climate and leading-edge cultivation techniques used in France help to maximise spirulina's nutritional content, producing a spirulina with a high concentration of proteins, essential vitamins and minerals. The commitment to sustainability and ecological development also makes French spirulina an ethical and responsible choice for environmentally conscious consumers.

Because it is grown using artisan methods

Cultivating the spirulina using artisan methods allows more precise control over its growing conditions, ensuring greater product quality and purity. This sustainability-focused practice requires less water and space compared to other crops.

Artisan cultivation means using organic, natural methods without any need for chemicals. This results in a more nutritious and balanced supplement – ideal for anyone looking to add more artisan foods into their diet. This type of crop promotes food sovereignty and local development, creating jobs and strengthening communities.

Anastore's Organic French Spirulina comes from a certified ‘Sud de France' company in the southern Occitan region. By consuming products that carry this certification, you are helping to develop the regional economy and promote products grown in a way that respects regional know-how.

Because of its high phycocyanin and iodine content

Phycocyanin is a blue pigment naturally found in spirulina. Known for its antioxidant properties, it has been extensively researched by scientists and has high market value. When present in spirulina, it is a mark of higher quality, and at Anastore we guarantee a phycocyanin content of between 10% and 24% in our product.

Unlike phycocyanin, the iodine in spirulina is not recommended in high doses, as this compound can lead to thyroid problems if not consumed in the right amounts. So it is vitally important to buy products that guarantee low iodine content and to consume them in quantities that promote good health.

Anastore's French spirulina contains less than 150 mcg of iodine per dose, making it a product safe for everyone.

Because of its premium quality

Not all spirulina is equal, or costs the same price. This is because quality requirements vary depending on the origin of the spirulina, since it is a microalgae susceptible to contamination, especially by cyanobacteria. So you need to be very careful when choosing which spirulina you buy.

Unlike other spirulina on the market, our spirulina complies with European regulations and with stringent French regulations. In each batch produced, the levels of heavy metals, microbial, pathogenic bacteria and cyanotoxins are monitored, particularly as these can cause hepatotoxic and neurotoxic effects².

You have the guarantee that Anastore's French organic spirulina meets the highest quality standards on the market, not just at European level but also globally. This is a premium quality, artisan-made product. It is also a certified organic product, for additional quality and environmental protection.
