SPIRULINE ω

A promising but unavailable asset

Like all the active ingredients and natural extracts on which the main ingredient company relies, Spirulina ω has been chosen for its balanced nutritional profile and its integrity. After two major analyses carried out at the end of the production process, validating its richness in micro and macronutrients as well as its compliance with European and French standards in terms of heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and pesticides, it was then cross-checked by independent French laboratories (Labexan, Eurofins). The liquid Spirulina was finally released only after a second complete microbiology.

Spirulina + Phycocyanine ω

The main ingredient company has been working on the development of its
Spirulina liquid for nearly three years. This was the time needed to overcome major obstacles and allow this formula to constitute a truly new proposal in nutritional supplementation.

The most important singularity of Spirulina ω is to be enriched with an extract of phycocyanine called "free". This is in addition to the phycocyanin naturally contained in Spirulina, but has a very superior effectiveness due to its almost total water solubility and exceptional bioavailability.

Phycocyanin is actually a complex of phycobiliproteins (protein + chromophore), itself made up of a sequence of phycobilins that together increase the yield of chlorophyll during photosynthesis.

Phycocyanin being a primitive pigment, it must be fixed on a plant membrane called thylakoid to be functional. This membrane poses a major problem by preventing the assimilability of phycocyanine. It is therefore imperative to release it in order to allow it to produce its effects: this is the case of phycocyanin X12 and X35 which are bioavailable forms of "free" phycocyanin. Spirulina, beyond its remarkable nutritional qualities, suffers from this major limitation consisting in the non-bioavailability of its native phycocyanin. The prospect of offering Spirulina without the benefits of its most precious component has long seemed like a contradiction in terms... But we have found the solution.

Literally the first "Super" Spirulina

Faced with this dilemma, we decided to increase our Spirulina with a concentration of "free" and bioavailable phycocyanin equivalent to X12 phycocyanin.

Each daily dose (16ml) of Spirulina ω contains 60mg of pure and released phycocyanine ω and 2g of total Spirulina*. This means that Spirulina ω contains about 15% of its native phycocyanine, i.e. bound to its plant membrane (low bioavailability) to which the free phycocyanine ω is added (very high bioavailability) for an unprecedented effectiveness.

Liquid form, bioavailability and exceptional taste for maximum compliance!

the main ingredient company seeks in a privileged way the formulation on liquid base for several reasons: on the one hand, the bioavailability, i.e. the proportion in which the active ingredients are effectively assimilated, on the other hand to support a better observance, in other words the extent to which the user will concretely use the product in everyday life.

Spirulina ω is based on a choice of spirulina with taste qualities compatible with repeated or continuous use and is coupled with a subtle and natural flavoring to facilitate consumption by young people. The selection of a spirulina with a delicately iodized taste and the development of a natural flavoring contribute to facilitate the use and to reinforce the compliance. Supporting the body and physiology through supplementation is necessarily a long-term process if tangible effects are to be achieved.

Compliance is therefore a key factor in the construction of long-term effects of any nutraceutical and is particularly justified in the case of Spirulina, whose previous studies had shown how difficult and restrictive the use of it was for users.

Spirulina ω can be used as a supplement in the diet of pets (cats, dogs, horses) with results similar to those sought in humans. The number of optimal uses depends on the metabolism, size and weight of the animal (risk of overdosing is low due to the absence of a toxic threshold, see the recommendations for more details). Enriched with the same quantity of free phycoycanine ω as Phycocyanine X12 Spiruline ω combines the macro, micronutritional and vitamin contribution of Spiruline with the desired effects of pure phycocyanine.

The conversion rules take into account the faster metabolism in lighter animals (cats, dogs), slower in heavier animals (horses).

For a weight index of 60kgs in a human being corresponding to a dose of 2000mg (17ml - one tablespoon)

The equivalent dose of spirulina ω will be for the animal of :

Cat (5kg) : (5 / 60) x 2,5* x 2000mg or 0,21x the dose dedicated to a human being (± 1 to 9ml) (± 3ml)

Dog (15kg) : (15 / 60) x 1.8* x 2000mg or 0.45x the dose for a human being (± 8ml)

Horse (600kg) : (600 / 60) x 0.35* x 2000mg or 3.5x the dose for a human being (± 75ml)
