Great for you.

Great for your taste buds.

Great for you and your taste buds.

A World First.

 

We have developed our own proprietary process to create our Spirulina MicroBuds. We take our Spirulina and wrap it in prebiotic fibre. You won’t be able to see the difference, but you will definitely be able to taste it.

The fibre removes the traditional flavour from the Spirulina, and leaves a mild pleasant taste. The fibre also protects the sensitive nutrients inside the Spirulina from degradation over time. And it is prebiotic promoting gut health! Pretty amazing.

Our Spirulina MicroBuds still have the same health benefits regular Spirulina has. It is still mostly Spirulina after all! It’s packed full with minerals, vitamins and antioxidants. Furthermore, we use no heat on our Spirulina. It is freshly harvested, prepared and freeze dried to ensure it is as nutritious as the moment we harvested it.

  • Plant-based.

  • Australian.

  • Allergen free.

  • All natural.

  • Sustainable.

  • High in protein.

Our Spirulina MicroBuds naturally have a mild pleasant taste. This allows us to create flavoured varieties. We have created products with dried fruit powders or natural flavours. We have also created savoury too! The options are endless.

Easy to use.

Our Spirulina MicroBuds come in a powder form, which makes them very easy to use. They can be added into anything you like. They are easy to pop into a smoothie or sprinkle on top of a meal. If you want to get more creative, you can use them to make bars, dressings, spice mixes or sweets! The sky is the limit.

Amazing nutrition.

Our Spirulina MicroBuds have an amazing nutritional profile. They are packed with protein containing all essential amino acids along with prebiotic fibre which will help your gut health. They are also packed full with minerals and vitamins. And of course, they contain lots of antioxidants to help protect cells from oxidative damage.

Micronutrients in our MicroBuds.

  • Calcium is important for healthy teeth and bones. It also helps support healthy digestive enzymes and energy production.

  • Chromium is necessary for healthy macronutrient metabolism, which is the process of converting proteins, carbs, and fats into energy instead of storing them as fat on your body!

  • Copper is necessary to produce melanin, which gives our skin and hair that healthy glow. It also protects our cells from damage from free radicals.

  • Iodine is important for healthy production of thyroid hormones and can help our bodies metabolise energy.

  • Iron is important for the blood to transport oxygen efficiently in our bodies. Iron can help reduce fatigue and tiredness while boosting our immune system. It can also help improve our cognitive function.

  • Manganese helps keep your connective tissue and bones healthy. It also helps energy production.

  • Magnesium is important to keep your nerves and muscles functioning well. It contributes to normal psychological functions and can reduce tiredness and fatigue.

One of a kind.

The most unique nutrient inside our Spirulina MicroBuds, is phycocyanin. Phycocyanin is a bright blue pigment and a powerful antioxidant found only in the family of algae Spirulina belongs to. Phycocyanin has anti-inflammatory properties and scavenges free radicals which protects cells from oxidative damage.

It’s a group effort.

Our Spirulina MicroBuds are packed full of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They all work together with one another to ensure that you get the most possible out of each nutrient, just like nature intended.

Our Spirulina MicroBuds are a wholefoods supplement, which gives you the same benefits as eating whole fruits and veggies with the ease of taking a traditional supplement. It is the best of both Worlds really.

Some of the antioxidants.

  • Chlorophyll.

    Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in most plants and in green vegetables. It plays a crucial part in photosynthesis and is necessary for converting sunlight into energy. Like the other pigments, it has strong antioxidant properties and helps reduce the free radicals in our bodies.

  • Phycoerythrin

    Phycoerythrin is a bright red pigment and an antioxidant. It occurs in sea weeds and some species of microalgae. It is commonly used as an indicator in labs. Phycoerythrin is less studied than the other antioxidants listed, but early laboratory studies suggest potential anti-aging properties

  • Beta-carotene.

    Beta-carotene is a red-orange pigment and a strong antioxidant. It is abundant in fruit and vegetables and gives a lot of them their colour. It is a precursor to Vitamin A, which contributes to eye health.

  • Zeaxanthin.

    Zeaxanthin is a yellow pigment and a type of carotenoid just like beta-carotene. It is found in algae, dark leafy vegetables, orange and yellow fruit and in egg yolks. Just like beta-carotene it contributes to overall eye health.

  • Superoxide Dismutase

    Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) is an enzyme with a very strong antioxidant activity. It breaks down superoxide radicals to regular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. It plays an important antioxidant defense in nearly all living cells exposed to oxygen. SOD have strong anti-inflammatory properties.

The science of Spirulina.

 

Studies have found that Spirulina supplementation might lower the blood levels of LDL cholesterol (sometimes called “bad cholesterol”). It might also decrease triglycerides blood levels.

Spirulina contains up to 75% protein and contains all 9 essential amino acids. Spirulina is an excellent source of the amino acid tryptophan. Tryptophan is tied to the production of serotonin, melatonin and vitamin B3.

It is naturally very low in simple carbohydrates like sugar; the main carbohydrate in Spirulina are mesoinositol phosphate. It is an excellent source of organic phosphorous and inositol. Inositol is a type of carbohydrate that make up parts of our cell walls and helps regulate the activities of several hormones. Inositol is of particular interest due to its roll in insulin regulation.

Spirulina supplementation has been found to lower oxidative stress in the body, which can have anti-inflammatory effects. This is also of interest to athletes as it can improve recovery time and increase peak muscle strength. It has also been found to improve time to exhaustion for endurance athletes.
