The spirulina experts

The algae
biorefinery.

We take one spirulina biomass apart, downstream, into natural colour, supplement and cosmetic actives and a biostimulant. Nothing goes to biogas. Blue ships today.

Colour for food and drink. Actives for supplements. Actives for skin. And a biostimulant for agriculture made from the part everyone else throws away. Hover a line to see what it becomes.

Nature already made the colour. Somebody has to make it survive the factory.

Algae pigments are intense and fragile. Acid breaks them, heat breaks them, and so do light and time. That is why shelves are full of synthetic colour: it survives the process.

So we work on the unglamorous part: what happens to the molecule after it leaves the cell, until it holds up in a real product.

Algae blue pigment as a raw mineral powder on slate
Phycocyanin, the blue protein that gives spirulina its colour. For most of history it was worth more than the biomass it came from and too unstable to use.
The ingredients house

One algae.
Everything it can be.

Most companies take one thing out of the algae and throw the rest away. The single product has to pay for the whole crop, and that is why natural ingredients cost what they cost.

We built a biorefinery instead. It takes the colours out in sequence, then the bioactives, and what remains goes to feed plants. Nothing is wasted and nothing is burned.

Bar width follows mass. Four saleable outputs share one biomass cost, which is why our list prices sit where they do.

Basis: 1,000 kg of wet spirulina paste. Outputs are dry powders as sold, carrier and additives included where the grade has them, so the bars do not add back to the input. Most of the difference is the water removed in drying.
