SPIRULINE ω

A promising but unavailable asset

Like all the active ingredients and natural extracts on which the main ingredient company relies, Spiruline ω was chosen for its balanced nutritional profile and its integrity. After two major analyses carried out at the end of production, 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
Liquid Spirulina for almost three years. This was the time needed to overcome major obstacles and allow this formula to become a truly new proposition in nutritional supplementation.

The most important feature of Spiruline ω is that it is enriched with a so-called "free" phycocyanine extract. This is in addition to the phycocyanin naturally contained in Spirulina, but has a much higher efficacy due to its almost total water solubility and exceptional bioavailability.

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

Since phycocyanine is a primitive pigment, it must be attached to a plant membrane called the thylakoid in order to function. 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 phycocyanine X12 and X35 which are bioavailable forms of "free" phycocyanine. 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 to a concentration of "free" and bioavailable phycocyanin equivalent to X12 phycocyanin.

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

Liquid form, bioavailability and exceptional taste for maximum compliance!

the main ingredient company favours liquid-based formulations for several reasons: on the one hand, bioavailability, i.e. the proportion in which the active ingredients are effectively assimilated, and on the other hand to support better compliance, i.e. the extent to which the user will actually use the product on a daily basis.

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

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

la Spiruline ω peut-être utilisée en complément de l’alimentation des animaux de compagnie (chat, chien, chevaux) avec des résultats similaires à ceux recherchés chez l’être humain. Le nombre d’utilisations optimale est fonction du métabolisme, de la taille et du poids de l’animal (risque de surdosage faible compte tenu de l’absence de seuil toxique, voir les recommandations pour plus de détails). Enrichie avec la même quantité de phycoycanine libre ω que Phycocyanine X12 Spiruline ω associe l’apport macro, micronutritionnel et vitaminique de la Spiruline aux effets recherchés de la phycocyanine pure.

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

Pour un indice de poids de 60kgs chez un être humain correspondant à une dose de 2000mg (17ml – une cuillère à soupe)

La dose équivalente de spiruline ω sera pour l’animal de :

Chat (5kg) : (5 / 60) x 2,5* x 2000mg soit 0,21x la dose dédiée à un être humain  (± 1 à 9ml) (± 3ml)

Chien (15kg) : (15 / 60) x 1.8* x 2000mg soit 0,45x la dose dédiée à un être humain (± 8ml)

Cheval (600kg) : (600 / 60) x 0.35* x 2000mg soit 3,5x la dose dédiée à un être humain (± 75ml)
