HOMEPAGE

 

Produced by one of the world's leaders in development and commercialization of microalgae products, this premium quality Spirulina Pacifica^® is the result of an unparalleled environment and advanced technology. The company was one of the first microalgae companies in the world to obtain quality management standards ISO 9001:2000 certification and is GMP-certified by the Natural Products Association.

 

   

 

Why is Spirulina Pacifica® the best in the world?
 

• An ideal climate and location: Kona, Hawaii, is the sunniest coastal location in the United States providing perfect year-round temperatures and a 12-month growing season. The blue-green algae product is cultivated in a BioSecure Zone.

 

• A superior strain: for more than 20 years, Hawaiian Spirulina has been adapting to the intense Hawaiian sun. These conditions have given birth to a distinctive carotene-rich strain known as Spirulina Pacifica, providing the highest levels of mixed carotenoids, enzymes and antioxidants of any Spirulina in the world.

 

• Deep Ocean Water: the ponds are filled with fresh water drawn from wells in the rainforest aquifer, supplemented with nutrient-rich ocean water pumped from a depth of 2,000 feet. This vital resource provides a rich mixture of calcium, magnesium and 94 trace minerals. Other farms use river water or irrigation water.

 

• Pesticide-free, herbicide-free and non-irradiated: Spirulina Pacifica is never irradiated and is regularly tested by an independent laboratory to ensure that no pesticides or herbicides are present.
 

• State-of-the-Art Technology: The patented oxygen-free drying system, Ocean Chill Drying, allows Spirulina Pacifica to be dried in an environment which preserves high nutrient and enzyme concentrations by preventing oxidative damage. Oxygen barrier packaging and cold-press tableting protect Spirulina Pacifica’s superior nutritional profile while insuring its fresh taste.

 

• GRAS Status: the only Spirulina grown in the United States that has attained “GRAS Status” (Generally Recognized As Safe) by the US FDA for all food, beverage and supplement applications. Strict quality control and intense hygiene procedures during growing and processing make for the purest Spirulina in the world; it is also known for extremely low levels of lead and other heavy metals as well as very low bacterial levels.

 

• Premium Quality Tablets: The company's modern facility was expressly built to make these tablets efficiently and with minimal exposure to oxygen. Because Spirulina is a fine dusty powder, it is inherently difficult to tablet. Some manufacturers solve this problem with high levels of tablet binders or by using heat granulation which can degrade nutrients. And just as with our powder, tablets are immediately heat/vacuum-sealed in foil laminate bags with an enclosed oxygen absorber. Spirulina tablets arrive absolutely fresh, with a storage life of more than 3 years.
 

In March 2009 an independent 3rd-party lab tested the nutritional content in 3gr of spirulina powder between Hawaiian Spirulina Pacifica®, California Spirulina and Indian Organic Spirulina. The results clearly identified Hawaiian Spirulina Pacifica as the leader in nutrition.

What you should expect from our spirulina products:
 
100% pure unadulterated premium quality Arthrospira Platensis, one of the very best in the world with its amazing nutritional and health benefits. 
 
There are three choices of your spirulina: 500mg tablets, 600mg vegetarian capsules and powder all with the same superb quality spirulina in a variety of packs for 1-month, 3-month, 6-month or more.

 

Spirulina Pacifica™ powder is a free-flowing green to bluish-green powder. It has a mild seaweed odour and is not soluble; it forms a suspension. The particle size is <125 microns and Bulk Density is >0.48 (g/ml).

 

Spirulina tablets are cold-pressed and manufactured in accordance with NPA-Good Manufacturing Practices and with local and State of Hawaii regulations. Silica (1%), chicory inulin (0.4%), and magnesium stearate (0.1%) are used as tableting aids.
    
 Tablets and capsules are vacuum-packed in state-of-the-art food-graded 90 micron aluminium foil bags with a press ziplock to reseal after opening. The benefits are:

• Removes oxygen so preventing oxidation and film forming on the tablet

• Keeps out water and dust reliably

• Protects against moisture and drying out

• Contents stay complete and unharmed

• The outer foil liner gives an optimum light barrier, the inner liner is food-grade plastic (PET/AL/PE)

• Individual 90g packs means that every time you open a pack, contents are fresh

The pots for our spirulina powder are manufactured from high-grade polypropylene in a superior, high-gloss finish with a tear-band tamper-evident closure - this helps to protect the product from damage and spoilage during transportation by minimising movement in unused space inside the container. They are packed with a SuperDryPak™ safe indicating silica gel 1g sachet that keeps the powder fresh and free from moisture. SuperDryPak™ is an environmentally friendly desiccant which provides a clear and distinct colour change from orange (dry) to green (saturated) as it absorbs moisture.

  

The brown kraft paper stand-up pouches for our spirulina products are manufactured from 70gsm paper and 12 micron metalised PET / 70 micron PE lining (food grade specification) with a tear-band and resealable ziplock. Note that the individual layers of the pouches can be recycled. They are also packed with a SuperDryPak™ safe indicating silica gel 1g desiccant that keeps the contents fresh and free from moisture.
 
Our capsules are 100% vegetarian with no porcine, bovine or fish gelatine and they contain a minimum net 600mg fill. They are GMO-free and approved for use in organic products. These spirulina filled capsules can be purchased only by special order.

 

Packages are clearly labelled with taking instructions, detailed nutritional analysis, batch number, "best before" dates and contact details.
 
All our spirulina products are certified kosher and suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
