Spirulina

What makes spirulina distinctive

Spirulina is known for its naturally deep colour and for containing compounds such as chlorophyll, carotenoids and phycocyanin. Some people like it as a powder they can blend into drinks, while others prefer tablets or capsules for a simpler routine and a more neutral taste experience.

Powder, tablets and capsules

Powder can be useful if you want to add spirulina to smoothies, juice or food and control how you use it. Tablets and capsules are often the easier option when taste matters, when you want something portable, or when you prefer a more supplement-like format. The best choice usually comes down to convenience, flavour tolerance and how regularly you plan to use it.

Everyday use ideas

Many people keep spirulina simple and add it to a smoothie or other cold drink. If you would rather avoid the taste altogether, tablets or capsules can be a more practical way to make it part of your routine. For a closer look at everyday use ideas, our spirulina guide is a helpful companion.
