Product details

Spirulina

One ingredient,
exceptionally nutritious

Plnktn spirulina consists of a single ingredient: spirulina, cultivated in the Netherlands
and dried using a gentle technique (freeze-drying) to maximize nutrient retention.
Naturally rich in proteins (~65%), the pigment phycocyanin,
and other bioactive compounds. Compact, plant-based, and a meaningful addition
to your daily diet.

Four capsules a day provide ~2 grams of spirulina with 285 mg phycocyanin, 1.5 mg zeaxanthin, 11 μg vitamin K1 (15% RDI), and 749 μg beta-carotene.

- Phycocyanin (15%): exclusively present in blue-green algae,
researched for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
- A natural source of protein (65%), fiber (15%), beta-carotene,
and zeaxanthin.
- Plant-based, sustainable, and suitable as a supplement to any diet!

Geproduceerd in Nederland

Meer dan 80% van de huidige algen supplement op de markt komt uit Azië. Vaak in open ponds, vage ketens met oncontroleerbare kwaliteit.

Wij kiezen bewust niet voor goedkope bulk-algen uit Azië, maar voor hoogwaardige, lokaal gekweekte algen rechtstreeks uit Nederland. O.a. van de Prinsenbroeders: twee broers die een oude tulpenkas hebben omgebouwd tot algenkwekerij.

Why Spirulina?

Spirulina is a blue algae rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. With 65% protein content, it is one of the most protein-rich food sources in the world, with a complete amino acid profile.

Ideal way to increase the nutritional value of your meals.

What makes your Spirulina unique?

More than 80% of the current algae supplements on the market come from Asia. Often grown in open ponds, with vague supply chains and uncontrollable quality.

We deliberately choose not to use cheap bulk algae from Asia, but rather high-quality, locally grown algae directly from the Netherlands. For example, from the Prinsenbroeders: two brothers who converted an old tulip greenhouse into an algae farm.

How much Spirulina should I take?

The nibs are dried and crunchy, for an extra bite. Delicious in your yoghurt bowl, smoothie or salad.

Is Spirulina free from allergens?

Yes, as far as we know, Spirulina is free from allergens.

Is Spirulina suitable for children and/or during pregnancy/breastfeeding?

Spirulina is safe for children.

For pregnant women and during breastfeeding, we recommend that you first discuss this with your doctor, as there is insufficient research into the use of algae during these periods.

Should I choose Spirulina or Chlorella?

Spirulina and Chlorella are similar because they are both natural microalgae, grown in the Netherlands, with unprecedented nutritional density. However, there are also significant differences:

Spirulina is officially a cyanobacterium and has a softer cell structure. It is a nutritious daily supplement, partly due to its high protein content and substances such as phycocyanin (researched for its antioxidant potential), beta-carotene, and, like Chlorella, chlorophyll and vitamin K1. Spirulina is often associated with energy, sports, and recovery!

Chlorella is an algae with a robust cell wall. As a result, chlorella naturally contains relatively high amounts of fiber. Additionally, chlorella contains a lot of chlorophyll (the green pigment from which the algae gets its color), vitamin B12, and vitamin K1.

Both products come from the Netherlands, and we deliberately keep their formulation pure: Spirulina is 100% Arthrospira platensis, and Chlorella contains 100% Chlorella sorokiniana. Both are in a vegetable HPMC capsule and have the same dosage: 4 capsules per day.

In summary: spirulina has relatively more protein, and chlorella contains relatively more fiber! Both contain chlorophyll and K1. Spirulina also contains phycocyanin, an interesting bioactive substance that is widely researched for its possible role as an antioxidant, and Chlorella contains vitamin B12 :)

How quickly do I notice the effects of taking Spirulina?

Spirulina is not a product where you should expect to feel an immediate noticeable effect. It naturally contains various nutrients (such as proteins, fibre, phycocyanin, and carotenoids) that primarily contribute to your daily nutritional intake, and less to an acute "feeling."

View spirulina primarily as a supplement to your daily diet. If you notice an effect, it usually happens gradually over several weeks :)
