Highassay's Organic Spirulina
Highassay is a raw material supplier of Organic Spirulina powder and tablets from China. Our Organic Spirulina is cultivated without chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or hormones. Through physical purification methods, the spirulina algae are directly dried, pulverized, and processed into organic spirulina powder or compressed into organic spirulina tablets, and are organically certified.
Compared to organic chlorella, Organic Spirulina has a more pronounced seaweed-like flavor. Adding too much may affect the flavor of other products.
Spirulina is essentially made from the whole algae plant. Spirulina cells are rich in chlorophyll, carotenoids, phycocyanin, etc. The dark green color of spirulina is the result of a mixture of various pigments.
Organic Spirulina is primarily used as a raw material for nutritional supplements.
Benefits of Organic Spirulina: It is rich in nutrients, beneficial for supplementing the human body with protein, vitamins, and essential minerals.
Organic Spirulina is an affordable nutritional supplement, with its biggest advantage being its accessible price. It is suitable for those with malnutrition, vegetarians, and those with weakened immune systems.

Spirulina is a filamentous microalga (not a plant or fungus) belonging to the phylum Cyanobacteria. Its thallus is a spirally curved, blue-green filament, and it thrives in warm, highly alkaline freshwater environments. It is a natural food source with extremely high nutrient density and is a classic microalga cultivated on a large scale globally.
Products made primarily from spirulina powder that are ready to eat include spirulina tablets/capsules, spirulina meal replacement powders, and baked goods/dairy products with added spirulina. These products must meet national food hygiene standards and are distinct from pure spirulina powder.
Spirulina is rich in protein, various vitamins/minerals, algal polysaccharides, phycocyanin, etc., and can be used as a food supplement to improve immunity.

Nutritional supplements
Natural habitats include Lake Chad in Africa, Lake Tesicoco in Mexico, and Lake Chenghai in Yunnan, China. Currently, large-scale artificial cultivation is practiced globally, with China (Yunnan and Inner Mongolia), the United States, Japan, and India being the main production areas. Artificial cultivation allows for precise temperature and alkali control, ensuring stable quality.

Spirulina itself does not produce toxins, but if it is contaminated by other cyanobacteria that produce toxins, it may produce toxic compounds such as microcystins, which can cause gastrointestinal discomfort and other symptoms if ingested. Therefore, it is necessary to use products whose quality and origin are strictly controlled.

Spirulina is a photosynthetic autotrophic microalga with an extremely rapid proliferation rate (one generation every 3-5 days under ideal conditions). Its cell structure is simple, lacking complex root, stem, leaf, or redundant cell wall tissues. Almost all nutrients are used to synthesize core nutrients such as proteins and amino acids, resulting in a protein content far exceeding that of ordinary plant and animal foods by dry weight.
It has a faint fishy smell mixed with a seaweed-like fishy smell, and no bitterness.
Rich in iron (200-300mg/100g), and it is easily absorbed organic iron, making it suitable as a supplement for people with iron deficiency anemia.
Blue Spirulina
Yes, if stored properly, it can be kept for 3 years.
Yes, if stored properly, it can be kept for 3 years.
Rich in protein
Spirulina is low in calories and high in satiety. Adding it to meal replacements can reduce the intake of staple foods and aid in weight loss (must be combined with diet and exercise).
It contains 60%-72% protein by dry weight.
It can be mixed directly into a drink or added to meal replacement ingredients.
Spirulina cultivation can be divided into small-scale home trials and industrial-scale production. Home cultivation is for hobby purposes only and cannot be mass-produced: Home cultivation: Prepare alkaline water (pH 8.5-11, adjusted with baking soda), a transparent container (glass/plastic), and place it in a sunny location (25-35℃). Add spirulina inoculum, change 1/3 of the water weekly, and add baking soda to adjust the pH. It can be harvested in about 10-15 days. Note: Home cultivation cannot precisely control bacteria and is easily contaminated by other algae. The harvested algae are not recommended for direct consumption and are only for ornamental/experimental purposes. Industrial cultivation has high requirements and involves many aspects, which will not be described here.
It can be mixed directly into a drink or added to meal replacement ingredients.
It is beneficial and can be used as a nutritional supplement.
Consuming food-grade spirulina in moderation (1-2g/day) is safe. It can supplement protein, iron, and vitamins, and has an auxiliary effect on the nutritional supplementation of pregnant women and fetuses.
