About Iron Spirulina

Iron Spirulina is a natural iron ingredient developed by Algania, made from selected Spirulina platensis (Arthrospira platensis) cultivated under regenerative practices. It provides bioavailable ferrous iron (Fe) in a whole-food microalgae matrix and is designed for use in dietary supplements, functional foods, and beverages.
