To get the most out of all its nutrients, spirulina is consumed as a cure. It is best to consume it daily for at least a month. Indeed, the nutrients present in spirulina can only be assimilated if they are consumed regularly and over a certain period of time. We suggest you do a spirulina cure: 1 to 4 teaspoons / day from 1 to 6 months according to your needs. It is also possible to consume it throughout the year if you have iron deficiencies, if you do not eat animal proteins, if you are athletic or simply if you like it and it makes you feel good 😉 It is important to start gradually… DISCOVER OUR RECIPES

The dose of spirulina to consume per day depends on the needs and diet of each person. This article gives indicators and a procedure to follow in order to get the most out of the benefits of spirulina. You can define your profile between the basic, intermediate and advanced treatment.
Basic course: 1 teaspoon / day.
For any omnivorous person who wishes to strengthen their immunity and vitality but who have no particular deficiency.
Intermediate course: 2 to 3 teaspoons / day.
For anyone who does not consume meat or little animal protein or who consumes animal proteins and wants to boost their antioxidants or who has a small iron deficiency or who exercises regularly.
Advanced cure: 4 to 5 teaspoons / day.
For anyone with severe iron deficiency, fatigue, immunosuppressed or who exercise a lot.
For iron deficiencies, consume spirulina daily for a minimum of 3 months to get the best benefits.
To achieve a spirulina cure, we recommend spirulina twigs which is the richest in nutrients because it has undergone the least transformation.
There is no obligation to consume spirulina in the morning on an empty stomach. It is not a medicine but a food that can be eaten with meals and at any time of the day. Spirulina therefore adapts to you.
So it depends on your consumption habits, and it is best to choose a time that will be easy and pleasant for you. For example, for breakfast, put your powder in a glass of apple or orange juice. At lunch, sprinkle your twigs on your plate of rice, pasta, salad or even in your sandwich! Finally, twigs sprinkled at dinner on top of the soup are perfect for replacing croutons!
Another thing, spirulina can be consumed throughout the year and included in your daily diet. Again, it depends on your needs and your diet. It is a source of protein, vitamins, minerals, trace elements and antioxidants that can serve you at any time of the year.
It is a powdered blend of organic herbs and spices to make your natural energy drink. It boosts the body for 4 to 5 hours. The effect is immediate with no side effects. It increases concentration, increases muscle and immune tone and makes you smile again!
No, after a month the body gets used to the effects of guarana, the natural caffeine source in spirtonic. The tonic effect wears off if consumed daily. In this case, you will need to increase the doses, such as coffee. This is not the desired effect.
We therefore advise you to consume it when you need it, ideally 3 times a week maximum.
We recommend consuming Spirtonic 4-5 hours before going to bed to avoid insomnia, especially if you have a sensitive sleep. If you cannot sleep at night after consuming Spirtonic, consume a good amount of dairy products: milk, cheese platter ... This reduces the effect of guarana 🙂
It's a blend of organic plants and spices to make your spirulina drink for the whole family. It brings vitality and it regenerates when we need to recover.
Yes, a great alternative to preparing in fruit juice. Try in a fruit compote: apple, pear, mango, banana, blueberry… or even in a fresh fruit salad.
Yes, our spirulina drinks are complementary to a spirulina cure. You can therefore eat 1 to 2 teaspoons of spirulina and drink a glass of Spiral Flow and / or Spirtonic per day. The cumulative dose of spirulina corresponds to a maximum of 8 g and will be beneficial to your body. For example, top athletes can consume up to 20 g of spirulina per day.
