Spirulina
Spirulina powder is made by spray drying of fresh spirulina and sieving. Spirulina can be divided into feed grade, food grade and special use depending on the application. Feed grade spirulina powder is generally used in aquaculture, livestock farming, food grade spirulina powder is used in health foods and added to other foods for human consumption.We have obtained the United States and the EU organic food certification.
Spirulina Therapeutic Effect
- It has certain preventive and inhibitory effects on hypertension, hyperlipemia and hyperglycemia.
- have a certain effect on chronic gastroenterology, stomach and duodenal ulcer
- able to laxative and treat acne
- able to beauty and lose weight.

Where can we use Spirulina
Spirulina is widely used in aquaculture for fish, shrimp, crab, shellfish feed or feed additives. It has high protein, high nutrition, high digestion and absorption rate, enhances and regulates the body’s immunity and contains more carotene, vitamins and trace elements. Its special class of carotenoids has the effect of enhancing color and improving the meat quality of fish.
