Organic Spirulina 100g

Spirulina is a biomass of cyanobacteria that can be consumed by humans and animals. The three species are Arthrospira platensis, A. fusiformis, and A. maxima. Cultivated worldwide, Arthrospira is used as a dietary supplement or whole food. It is also used as a feed supplement in the aquaculture, aquarium, and poultry industries.

Most people think spirulina is a type of algea, but it’s actually a type of bacteria called cyanobacterium.

What makes spirulina so special? A blue pigment that allows the bacteria to produce their own food through photosynthesis, like a plant.

Spirulina is a nutritional powerhouse that is more than 60% protein and packed full of life-giving chlorophyll. It’s a dense source of vitamins, minerals, amino and omega-3 fatty acids, enzymes and trace minerals. You can use it for yourself and your pets to assist with a myriad of issues, such as inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, immune support, bacterial and yeast overgrowth, and radiation exposure.

More protein than eggs, more iron than spinach.
Studies have shown anti-oxidant properties, reduction in allergy reactions, and fewer tumours than in comparative animals not fed spirulina. A rich natural source of vitamins and minerals

Spirulina is one of the richest plant-based sources of protein (60-70%). With so much research to confirm its health benefits, it is now recommended by the UN World Health Org.

Suggested Feeding Amounts

Optimally give twice daily:
Dogs and cats < 10 kg, 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon daily
• Dogs 10-25 kg, 1/2- 1 teaspoons daily
• Dogs > 25 kg, 1-2 teaspoonfuls daily

It is not a medicine; these are only suggestions. It does not have to be given every day.
According to herbalist Greg Tilford, it’s safe to use every day, but because it’s so nutrient-dense, it can cause diarrhoea and digestive upset if fed too much.

According to Tilford, a daily amount of 1/4 teaspoon per pound of food is generally safe, while cats would require 1/2 teaspoon.

Try giving your dog spirulina as part of his daily supplementation, and you might notice a shinier, more lustrous coat, fresher breath and better overall physical condition.
