Aroma-Zone Spirulina

VEGAN

PRODUCTION METHOD

Spirulina is cultivated in freshwater ponds exposed to sunlight, where it grows in nutrient-rich alkaline water. In organic farming, it is grown under strict monitoring of water quality and cultivation parameters (pH, temperature, oxygenation) to ensure optimal growth.

After harvesting, Spirulina is filtered and then dried at low temperatures to preserve its nutrients. It is then cold-pressed into tablets, without additives.

BIOCHEMICAL COMPOSITION

Often referred to as “ microalgae,” Spirulina is actually a cyanobacterium. It is distinguished by its exceptional nutritional density :

• 60 to 70% protein: Spirulina is one of the most protein-rich natural foods and provides many amino acids necessary for tissue maintenance and proper bodily function

• Phycocyanin: a blue pigment characteristic of Spirulina, known for its antioxidant properties, which helps protect cells against oxidative stress

• Chlorophyll: a green pigment essential for photosynthesis; chlorophyll is often associated with detoxifying properties and improved tissue oxygenation

• Iron: an essential mineral that aids in the transport of oxygen in the blood, helping to reduce fatigue and support energy levels

• B vitamins: vitamins involved in energy production and numerous metabolic processes

• Beta-carotene: an antioxidant pigment that is a precursor to Vitamin A, which helps protect cells against oxidative stress

• Minerals and trace elements: Spirulina also provides various essential nutrients (Magnesium, Potassium, Zinc…) that contribute to overall nutritional balance.

SUSTAINABILITY / TRACEABILITY

Aroma-Zone Spirulina is grown in France on an aquaculture farm committed to organic farming without pesticides or chemicals. This local, controlled production ensures optimal traceability and strict quality control, particularly regarding the absence of contaminants and heavy metals.

Thanks to its high content of nutrients and antioxidant pigments, Spirulina works on multiple levels.

Its high content of protein and iron helps support vitality and reduce fatigue, particularly by aiding in the transport of oxygen throughout the body.

It also provides antioxidant pigments, such as phycocyanin and carotenoids, which help protect cells against oxidative stress.

Its nutritional density makes it a valuable supplement during periods of increased need, such as for athletes, people following a vegetarian diet, or in cases of temporary fatigue.

Finally, thanks to its high protein and micronutrient content, it is often used as part of a comprehensive nutritional approach to support hair vitality and beauty.

Numerous preclinical and clinical studies have highlighted the biological properties of Spirulina, particularly those related to its high content of phycocyanin and micronutrients.

The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of its components are the most well-documented. Phycocyanin helps neutralize free radicals and limit the mechanisms involved in oxidative stress.

Studies also suggest a beneficial effect on certain physiological markers, particularly lipid metabolism and the regulation of the inflammatory response. Research has also observed improvements in certain blood parameters, such as hemoglobin.

In athletes, Spirulina supplementation may help limit the effects of physiological stress associated with intensive training, particularly by supporting certain immune markers.

Regarding the skin, in vitro studies show that Spirulina and its components can positively influence the proliferation of fibroblasts and keratinocytes, as well as the production of collagen.

A Note from Adeline Nalin, Head Pharmacist and Toxicologist at Aroma-Zone

“Spirulina is well-tolerated by the skin. It contains numerous antioxidant molecules that help combat premature aging of the body’s cells. Cases are rare, but sensitivity to cyanobacteria may exist.  

It should be noted that allergies to seafood are primarily linked to specific animal proteins that are absent from Spirulina. Furthermore, the extracts used in cosmetics are purified, which further reduces their allergenic potential.”

A Note from Our Aroma-Zone Toxicologist

“Spirulina is a natural ingredient; its safety assessment is based on a rigorous analysis of its origin, manufacturing process, and composition (including impurities). 

It is considered safe when used in low concentrations in cosmetic products (between 0.1% and 5%).”
