Hawaiian spirulina is one of the most renowned in the world for its purity and high quality. Spirulina Pacifica is cultivated in freshwater ponds on the Kona coast of Big Island of Hawaii. The freshwater comes from aquifers (water naturally filtered through lava rock) and they add approximately 5% deep ocean water (from 600 meters depth) to obtain unique trace elements in the final product. Spirulina is an excellent source of protein, vitamins, minerals, and phycocyanin. Spirulina is an outstanding way to boost meals with extra nutrition and protein. 142 grams of powder in jar. At 1 teaspoon per day, the jar lasts for 47 days.
Hawaiian Spirulina
Hawaiian spirulina is one of the world's most renowned varieties due to its purity and high quality. Spirulina Pacifica is cultivated in freshwater ponds along the Kona coast on the Big Island of Hawaii.
The freshwater comes from aquifers (water naturally filtered through lava rock) and they add approximately 5% deep ocean water (from 600 meters depth) to obtain unique trace minerals in the final product. Pure water produces a pure end product - you can taste the difference.
Nutrex Hawaii Ocean Chill Drying™ - system eliminates oxidation and damage to carotenoids, enzymes, and other nutrients that can occur with conventional drying methods. This system dries the spirulina in just 3-7 seconds, utilizing very cold, deep ocean water to provide moisture and
uses less than one percent oxygen to preserve phytonutrients.
Spirulina provides a broad spectrum of nutrients with many benefits. Its cell walls contain no cellulose.
Spirulina's impressive nutritional content is easily absorbed. Spirulina contains protein (all essential amino acids), carbohydrates, minerals, vitamins (except C and D), gamma-linolenic acid, chlorophyll, phycocyanin, antioxidants, and SOD. It is a complete protein that is easily digestible for the body.
Spirulina's History:
Spirulina is one of Earth's oldest life forms, an algae. In ancient Maya and Aztec cultures, it was highly valued for its healing and strengthening effects and was frequently used as a dietary supplement. This "food of the gods" was believed to quickly
provided energy and increased body strength. Even in African Knembu cultures, Spirulina has been used as a nutritional source since ancient times.
Adult Dosage: Take 1 teaspoon (3 grams) per day in a glass of water, in a smoothie, in dressing, or in any other way. Athletes and other high-performing individuals can experiment with higher doses for optimal effect. We use spirulina in sauces, dressings, smoothies, soups, smoothies, and cacao drinks etc.
Recommended dosage should not be exceeded. Dietary supplements should not be used as an alternative to a varied diet. Store in a dry place and keep out of reach of children.

Text from the manufacturer about its purity:
- All spirulina and BioAstin from Nutrex are grown at their farm (Cyanotech Corp.) at the Natural Energy Lab Facility in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, USA. Hawaiian Spirulina is the only spirulina grown in a Biosecure Zone, certified free from pesticides, herbicides, and industrial pollutants in Kona, Hawaii, the sunniest coast in the USA. Each pond is fed with 100% drinking water from Hawaiian aquifers, and the spirulina also receives pure deep-sea water with beneficial trace minerals. BioAstin grows only in freshwater.
- Nutrex performs tests to ensure purity, safety, and quality on every batch of Hawaiian Spirulina and BioAstin Hawaiian Astaxanthin. Each batch undergoes a series of over 15 different tests including microbial testing,
tests, heavy metal tests and other analyses unique to microalgae.
- Their spirulina is also regularly tested for microcystins and has never shown any trace in any test. If a batch does not meet their strict testing standards, it would be discarded and not released for sale. It's also important to note that spirulina grows in an environment with a pH level around 10, which makes it very difficult for other organisms to grow (even though spirulina thrives!).
