Spirulina is microscopic blue green vegetable microalgae that grow naturally in fresh water ponds and lakes in warm, sunny environments. It was discovered in South American and Africa in natural alkaline lakes. Spirulina has been used as a food source for centuries. Since the 1970’s, Spirulina has been well known and widely used as a dietary supplement in some countries. It is considered the most complete naturally cultivated nutrient in the world.

• Approx. 60% complete digestible protein – it contains every essential amino acid
• Contains more carotenoids than any other whole food and an excellent source of Vitamins A, K, B12 and Iron, Manganese and Chromium
• Best whole food source of gamma linoleic acid (GLA) – an essential fatty acid, necessary for human health. It plays a crucial role in brain function as well as normal growth and development.
• Rich in vitamins, minerals, trace elements, chlorophyll and enzymes.
  In USA, NASA has chosen to use it for astronauts’ food in space, and even plan to grow and harvest it in space stations in the near future.  

In addition to being a wonderful source of protein, Spirulina contains more carotenoids than any other whole food.  It is also rich in anti-oxidants and phytonutrients.  There is overwhelming clinical evidence to show that SERC Spirulina  will support cardiovascular, eye and brain health, boost immunity, boost energy levels, support healthy skin and combat age related macular degeneration.  

Blessed by Nature, our 5Acres land is located far from all industries and free from any pollutants. Water in our area is tested and confirmed naturally Rich in Calcium and other essential minerals and free of any Heavy Metals. Each pond is fed with 100% potable drinking water from SERC aquifers with 94 beneficial trace minerals.

Everyone!  SERC Spirulina is an ideal food supplement for people of all ages and lifestyles.  While we all strive to eat a well-balanced diet, our active lifestyles and easy access to processed food often prevent us from getting all the nutrition we need to maintain our health.  The National Research Council Committee on Diet and Health recommends that we eat 5-9 servings of fruit and vegetables a day.  One serving of SERC Spirulina has the equivalent of 5 servings of fruits and vegetables and more nutrition than any other single whole food.  

1. People with hyperparathyroidism.
2. People who have serious allergies to seafood or seaweed.
3. Patients currently experiencing high fever.

The key factors that make Spirulina unique are: 

• Continuous cultivation – Since 2012, SERC Spirulina has been in constant production 12 months out of the year – creating a superior strain of Spirulina with the highest levels of key nutrients of any Spirulina in the world.
• Location – Blessed by Nature, our 5Acres land is located far from all industries and free from any pollutants. Water in our area is tested and confirmed naturally Rich in Calcium and other essential minerals and free of any Heavy Metals. Constant exposure to sunlight ensures high levels of carotenoids are present in the Spirulina.
• Water – SERC Spirulina is cultivated in open ponds using a combination of 100% fresh potable water from SERC aquifers.

It is a complete protein with high levels of anti-oxidants, vitamins and phytochemicals including: 

• Beta Carotene: Necessary for healthy skin, good vision, and a healthy immune system.
• Vitamin B12: An essential vitamin required for proper red blood cell formation, neurological function, and DNA synthesis.
• Vitamin K1 & Vitamin K2: Essential vitamins known to promote blood clotting and support bone health. Recent studies have confirmed that Vitamin K2 may help osteoporosis and cardiovascular diseases.
• Superoxide Dismutase (SOD): An enzyme that acts as both an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory in the body, neutralizing free radicals and helping to repair cells, for age related degeneration.
• Zeaxanthin: A carotenoid and powerful antioxidant that fights free radical damage with specific benefits for eye and cellular health.
• Phycocyanin: The blue pigment color in nature, only found in Spirulina. Support kidney, liver and brain health.
• Iron: Essential in the formation of red blood cells and transportation of oxygen throughout the body. Iron assists the memory and helps build resistance to infection, stress and disease.

The suggested serving for SERC Spirulina is 3 grams a day.  SERC Spirulina is available in Capsule and powder form:  

Capsule bottles

• 500 mg each capsule- 6 Capsules a day. Available in 100, 200 and 400 Capsules bottles

Powder bottles 

• 1 teaspoon (2g-3g) mixed with liquid twice in a day for adults and once for children.

 Available in 100g and 200g powder bottles  

No, the Vitamin A activity of SERC Spirulina comes from natural beta carotene.  Beta carotene is a precursor to Vitamin A–the human body converts beta carotene into Vitamin A on an as-needed basis.  There is no toxicity level for beta carotene, so there is no need to worry about taking too much. 

In terms of absorption, the capsules take longer to breakdown once ingested, but this can actually be a good thing.  There are many enzymes in SERC Spirulina (for example SOD or Super Oxide Dismutase, which is an outstanding antioxidant the human body actually produces itself as a defense mechanism against harmful reactive oxygen species).  Enzymes are often destroyed by stomach acids during digestion, but the beautiful thing about taking Spirulina in capsules is that they are only partially digested in the stomach, and then complete digestion in the intestines.  In the intestines there are no stomach acids present, so you can get the full benefit of these vital enzymes.

The single most important thing you can do to preserve Spirulina once it has been opened is to refrigerate it, if kept cold (or even frozen) there should be a negligible loss of nutrients.  If a 5lb. bag is ordered we recommend filling up a smaller jar for daily use and storing the remainder of the bag in an air tight zip lock bag in your refrigerator

SERC Spirulina is just a food and can be given to children.  In fact, it’s a great benefit to children who don’t like to eat vegetables.  The powder can be easily mixed in a smoothie or a shake.  Depending on the age of the child, the dosage should be decreased from that of an adult which is one teaspoon or six 500mg Capsules.  

Yes. The key things in Spirulina for pregnant and nursing mothers are iron, calcium and protein and most important the bioavailability of all the nutrition.  As always please discuss your Spirulina use with your primary care doctor or practitioner.

The small amount of Spirulina consumed daily plus the fact that iodine occurs in only trace quantities makes the Spirulina’s iodine most likely no problem for people with hypothyroidism.  A daily serving of 3 grams of Spirulina provides approximately 15mcg (micrograms) of iodine which is ten percent of the US recommended daily intake for iodine (150mcg)

Spirulina is a totally natural product and will not normally cause any problems to the body. Even if too much is taken, there will be no harm to the body, but doing this is a waste.

However some people may experience some of the following symptoms after taking Spirulina;

1. Slight fever due to the body’s need to burn the extra protein from Spirulina.
2. Slight dizziness. If this occurs, take less of the product. If the symptom does not improve please stop taking Spirulina.
3. Thirst and constipation. After taking a high volume of Spirulina we recommend at least an extra 1/2 litre of water per day to help our body absorb the Spirulina.
4. Stomach ache.

5. Skin itch or slight body rash.

Spirulina is safe for all ages, however if you are taking any prescription or over-the-counter medication, we suggest you consult your physician.

Spirulina contains more than 60% vegetable protein, which is much higher than fish, pork, or beef (which contains about 15 ~20 %).Animal protein is a much bigger molecule than vegetable protein, and is much harder to for our system to digest.

Most modern people overindulge in animal protein, by eating fish, beef, pork etc. When too much animal protein is eaten, it is deposited in our body as fat. Too much fat will cause high cholesterol levels and may impact our heart and blood vessels.

Vegetable protein is water soluble, and is much smaller than animal protein. If you eat too much vegetable protein, it is simply discharged by your system as waste and not stored as fat.

Spirulina easily absorbs the nutrients from any possible source. Like putting a dry sponge in water, Spirulina will take just about everything from the water and store it in their cells.

So, taking Spirulina from polluted area may result some negative result as Spirulina has been highly concentrate all the heavy metals from growing environment.

Pollution sources are;

1. Air
2. Water
3. Dirt or dust
4. Feed

Air pollution will bring lead, mercury etc. All commercial Spirulina is grown in open areas, for maximum production yield. SERC Spirulina is grown in a land, which is located far from all industries and free from any pollutants.

Water pollution is another issue. Most Spirulina production sites need plenty of water to compensate for high evaporation. If the water contains any heavy metal which will accumulate in the growing system, then Spirulina will absorb it. Water pollution is a big issue as even the water pumped from the sea or surface can contain certain amounts of possible pollutants which will eventually accumulate in Spirulina. This is why some other brands suggested that infants or pregnant women should not take Spirulina.

Water in our area is tested and confirmed naturally Rich in Calcium and other essential minerals. Constant exposure to sunlight ensures high levels of carotenoids are present in the Spirulina. With having this best growing environment, our Spirulina has the lowest heavy metal content in comparison with any other Spirulina product on the market, with almost no heavy metal at all.
