Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) belongs to cyanobacteria (or green / blue algae). Spirugrass® is a fraction (pure chemical compound) from the biorefining of spirulina. Available in wet or dry form, this fraction is particularly rich in amino acids, iron, vitamin K and beta-carotenes.

This nutritional richness, capable of satisfying recommended daily intakes with reduced quantities, makes Spirugrass® a food or nutraceutical ingredient of top quality.

Its composition also allows it to be used as an organic slow-release fertilizer. It provides immediate and long-term action by improving crop growth and soil fertility.

The Company

Microalgae and cyanobacteria are single microscopic cells that have been present in aquatic environments for over 4 billion years. Together with plants they share an extraordinary power: photosynthesis, or the ability to use sunlight to create organic matter and release oxygen. Thanks to this complex cellular process, they make life on earth possible.

AlgoSource was founded in 1993 with the aim of assisting its customers in the cultivation processes of microalgae, and possible applications in the nutraceutical, cosmetic and food sectors. AlgoSource's expertise lies in the identification and extraction of bioactive molecules from microalgae through patented processes to preserve the integrity of the active ingredients.
