It is usually the one who is concerned about their health and understands that it is the true wealth. You will have consumed spirulina before. But you have not consumed ours. Our spirulina is pure to its meaning. We, at Algavista, with our expertise in Microalgae cultivation, after years of study, have optimized spirulina production to the maximum.
We have sampled spirulina from all over the world but it is nothing compared to what we have. This blue green algae smells different, taste different, and effects are far more significant. If you have seen the series Breaking bad, then you might have noticed the difference in the quality of meth Heisenberg was making. It is just a parallel. Spirulina is healthy and it is not illegal.
What makes us different?
Thanks to our commitment in producing the best spirulina in the market.
- We cultivate spirulina in clean water.
- We have chosen a place far away from the human population where there is an abundance of fresh air, sunlight and rainforest.
- We have also done all the testing and confirmed one hundred percent rid of toxins or chemicals. (no radiation,no heavy metal contamination, no algal toxins and no bacterial contamination).
Now let us get to the big question.
Should you consume spirulina in its pure form or consume it as part of a healthy superfood?
Naturally, what happens is that when you consume spirulina mixed with other compounds, you may not receive the complete benefits you are seeking.
Most of the time, these large brands that sell superfood mixes will have used very little spirulina in them because spirulina is one of the most expensive superfood.
Since these companies have to produce in bulk while having to reduce the expense, they will probably source the spirulina from commercial farms with less commitment towards sustainability.
There is also scope for possibility that your superfood mix can carry artificial sweeteners and other cheaper ingredients.
So by all means, consuming Spirulina in its purest form is always advised.
Here is why:
- You will save money.
- You will know it is pure spirulina and where it is coming from.
- You can create your own recipes.
- Enhance your quality of life
