Spirulina, or Spirulina platensis<\/em>, is a blue-green microalga that has existed on Earth for billions of years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2000, the WHO recognized it as a \u201csuperior dietary supplement\u201d due to its exceptional nutritional value. Spirulina\u2019s properties are indeed impressive: it is rich in protein, minerals (especially iron and magnesium), essential fatty acids, amino acids, and antioxidants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The iron content<\/strong> in spirulina is particularly noteworthy, as iron deficiency affects a significant portion of the population\u2014especially women (30%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Iron Absorption Mechanism and Bioavailability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Spirulina has unique physiological mechanisms that allow it to absorb and filter minerals\u2014particularly metals\u2014from its growing environment. As it grows, it naturally accumulates iron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why it\u2019s crucial to ensure<\/strong> that spirulina is cultivated in an environment free of heavy metals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once ingested by humans, spirulina gradually releases iron at optimal sites within the body, facilitating its absorption<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, the iron naturally present in spirulina is highly bioavailable<\/strong> and easily assimilated by the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not All Spirulina Is Created Equal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The quality and nutrient density of spirulina depend heavily on the growing conditions<\/strong>, geographical and climatic environment, and manufacturing processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Years of research were needed to develop Pharmalp\u2019s spirulina<\/strong>, which is exceptionally rich in natural iron (1 tablet = 12 mg of iron, or 85% of the Nutrient Reference Value) and highly bioavailable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 12 mg of iron are present in two forms<\/strong> that are especially well absorbed by the body: free Fe\u00b2\u207a iron<\/strong> and iron bound to small proteins<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is cultivated in a pristine natural environment<\/strong> (free from pollutants and heavy metals), and our tablet production follows GMP standards (Good Manufacturing Practices)<\/strong> to ensure both high efficacy and full safety for our customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A One-of-a-Kind Production Site<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our spirulina is cultivated in Ecuador at 2,500 meters altitude<\/strong>, benefiting from an ideal and stable photoperiod\u201412 hours of sunlight per day, every day of the year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our eco-responsible production<\/strong> is conducted without greenhouses or artificial heating<\/strong>, on a site that is Ecocert-certified<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
