Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) is a blue-green microalgae that has existed for over three billion years, among the earliest life forms on Earth and one of nature’s most complete foods. Weight for weight, spirulina contains more protein than meat, more iron than spinach, and more beta-carotene than carrots.

Phycocyanin, spirulina’s blue-green pigment, is a complex protein concentrating much of spirulina’s studied properties, with powerful antioxidant activity contributing to cellular protection against oxidative stress. Dynveo’s spirulina reaches a minimum 25% phycocyanin, up to 35% depending on batch — thanks to French cultivation, harvest at optimal maturity, and low-temperature drying. Many industrial spirulinas contain only 10–15% due to harsher drying methods.

Grown in southern France in controlled ponds guaranteeing water purity and no environmental contaminants, with EU organic certification (AB label) ensuring strict cultivation standards, no pesticides, and full traceability — unlike many spirulinas imported from Asia or Africa, subject to less stringent oversight of heavy metals, microcystins and microbiological contamination.

About 60–70% complete protein, all eight essential amino acids. Per 6 tablets (3g): 1.2mg iron (8.5% NRV), 605µg beta-carotene (75% NRV), 0.66µg vitamin B12 (26% NRV) — useful for vegetarians — plus B1, B2, B3, vitamin E, vitamin K, minerals (zinc, manganese, copper, selenium) and GLA.

Take 4 to 6 tablets a day with a large glass of water, with meals. Start with 2 tablets a day for the first few days, then increase gradually. The 500-tablet format lasts about 3 months at 6 tablets/day, or 4 months at 4 tablets/day.

Does not replace a varied, balanced diet or healthy lifestyle. Store away from heat, light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.

What sets Dynveo spirulina apart?

Three key factors: French origin (grown in southern France), low-temperature drying (below 40°C) preserving actives, and an exceptional minimum 25% phycocyanin content, versus much lower levels in many imported, high-heat spray-dried spirulinas.

Is it suitable for athletes?

Yes — its complete protein, iron and antioxidant (phycocyanin, beta-carotene) content supports muscle recovery and helps reduce tiredness. The large 500-tablet format suits regular use in a training programme.

Is Dynveo spirulina suitable for vegetarians and vegans?

Yes — 100% plant-based, a concentrated source of complete protein, bioavailable iron and vitamin B12, with tablets made by direct compression, with no animal-derived excipients.
