Alvium
Hydrolysed spirulina biostimulant
An enzymatic hydrolysate. A three enzyme cascade opens the cell and cuts the protein down to free amino acids and short peptides, which is the fraction a root can take up. A water soluble powder, so a distributor ships dry weight instead of water.
Hydrolysed spirulina from Arthrospira platensis, post extraction fraction
