Our products
Spirulina is the world's first superfood and one of the most nutrient-rich foods on earth, dating back over 3 billion years. This microscopic blue-green microalgae is partly responsible for the production of oxygen in the atmosphere of our planet. It grows naturally in freshwater ponds and lakes in warm, sunny environments.
Chlorella is a spherical unicellular freshwater algae, a micro-organism that appeared on earth about 2.5 billion years ago. It is distinguished from other plants by an exceptional concentration of chlorophyll (3 to 5%), which explains its remarkable detoxifying power, which stimulates, among other things, the activity of the liver. It has a high percentage of protein (about 50%) and contains a high proportion of antioxidants that inhibit cell oxidation.
Astaxanthin is a powerful natural carotenoid pigment found in certain plants and marine animals such as wild sockeye salmon, lobster, shrimp, and crab, which consume large amounts of natural algae-based sources of astaxanthin. Often referred to as the "King of Carotenoids", astaxanthin is recognized as one of the most powerful antioxidants found in nature, capable of protecting our body's cells from free radical attack. It is particularly important because unlike other types of antioxidants, astaxanthin never becomes a pro-oxidant in the body and therefore can never cause harmful oxidation.

Essentially, I consume Gandalf Spirulina in a smoothie consisting of one cup of soy milk, one third of a banana and one raw egg. I blend them in a blender at a very low speed to avoid the destruction of the ingredients by shearing. My goal is above all to maintain a strong immune system, our best argument against all diseases and disorders, big and small, in the long run.

Hawaiian spirulina is the King of food on this planet. To my knowledge there is nothing more nutrient dense or beneficial to consume on a regular basis. I add a heaping tsp to my protein shake every day.
