Phycocyanin gives spirulina its characteristic colour and concentrates most of the microalgae’s studied antioxidant potential. Present at a minimum 25% — higher than most market spirulinas (often under 15%) — thanks to low-temperature drying that preserves heat-sensitive molecules.

Spirulina contains 55–70% plant protein, including all essential amino acids, highly bioavailable iron, B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6, B9, B12), chlorophyll, carotenoids including beta-carotene, calcium, magnesium, zinc and GLA — a daily ally for vitality, whether for athletes or anyone seeking a complete natural supplement.

Recommended dose is 3 tablets a day, with meals and a large glass of water. Beginners should start with 1 tablet a day in the first week, then increase gradually. A 90-tablet box covers one month at full dose; a course of 2–3 months is recommended, renewable several times a year.

Does not replace a varied, balanced diet or healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare professional before starting supplementation, as should those on anticoagulant treatment or with phenylketonuria. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light and moisture, out of reach of children.

Cold (low-temperature) drying is the most nutrient-respectful process for spirulina. Most industrial producers use high heat that speeds drying but degrades enzymes, vitamins and especially phycocyanin. Dynveo’s low-temperature process preserves the full nutritional profile, including fragile pigments and fatty acids — explaining both the high 25% phycocyanin titration and the tablets’ deep green colour.

Tablets vs. powder — what’s the difference?

Both contain the same raw material. Tablets are more convenient for those who don’t enjoy spirulina’s strong taste or want a quick, no-prep dose; powder offers more versatility (smoothies, juices, recipes) but has a more noticeable plant taste. Nutritionally equivalent if both are low-temperature dried.

Does Dynveo spirulina contain vitamin B12?

Naturally yes, though part is in analogue forms with debated bioavailability — if relying on spirulina as your sole B12 source on a vegan diet, consider a dedicated B12 supplement too.

Why choose French spirulina over imported?

French ponds are subject to strict water-quality and traceability regulations; cold drying, though costlier, is more widely practised by quality-focused French producers; and Agriculture France plus FR-BIO certification provide a double guarantee on origin and methods.
