HowSpirulinaGrows
Nature. Sunlight. Science.
Spirulina is a microalgae that grows in alkaline water under abundant sunlight. Through a carefully controlled cultivation process, it develops its rich green colour and exceptional nutritional profile.
The Natural Growth Cycle
From a single cell to a nutrient-rich superfood — grown with care and precision.
Selected Culture
Growth begins with a carefully selected Arthrospira platensis culture.
Cultivation
The culture is introduced into a carefully managed alkaline growing medium.
Light & Photosynthesis
Using sunlight as its energy source, spirulina photosynthesises and develops new biomass.
Biomass Growth
Under suitable conditions, the culture multiplies and increases in density.
Ready for Harvest
Once the culture reaches the desired growth stage and density, the biomass is ready to be harvested.
Grown the Natural Way
Our cultivation process works in harmony with nature, ensuring a pure, sustainable and reliable source of spirulina.
Sunlight
Natural energy that powers photosynthesis.
Purified Water
Carefully managed as part of the cultivation environment.
Essential Nutrients
A controlled nutrient medium that supports healthy biomass growth.
Alkaline Environment
Spirulina thrives under alkaline cultivation conditions.
Temperature
Cultivation temperature is monitored to support consistent growth.
Continuous Circulation
Keeps the culture moving for consistent exposure to light and nutrients.
What Does Spirulina Need to Grow?
Light
Provides the energy for photosynthesis.
Nutrients
Support the development of new biomass.
Water
Forms the aquatic environment in which the culture grows.
Carbon
Spirulina uses inorganic carbon during photosynthesis as it builds biomass.
As spirulina grows, photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and releases oxygen.
