Spirulina’s beneficial impact on the immune system has been shown in many scientific studies^2,3.*

Two components were recently recognized as playing a key role in Spirulina’s immune supporting properties: Phycocyanin, a pigment used as a natural food colorant, supports hematopoiesis and normal function of immune system cells, and Calcium-Spirulan, a polysaccharide unique to spirulina containing both sulfur and calcium, which also has a beneficial effect on the immune system.*

 Scientific studies suggest that because of it’s antioxidant properties, Spirulina may have further beneficial effects on the cells of the immune system^1-4.*

Our innovative extract is made with proprietary technology, optimized to provide substances that positively support a healthy immune system^2-3.*
