No, dietary supplements cannot replace a normal diet. They are designed to supplement your dietbut in no way to replace it. A varied, balanced diet, rich in fruit, vegetables, protein, fibre and other essential nutrients, remains the best way to meet your body's needs.
Supplements can be useful for :
- Filling specific gaps (iron, vitamin D, etc.).
- Meeting special needs (pregnancy, intense sport, etc.).
However, they must be used with care :
- They do not replace the many benefits of whole foods (sources of fiber, antioxidants, phyto-nutrients...).
- A excessive consumption can be harmful.

In many cases, a balanced and varied diet is sufficient to meet the nutritional needs of the majority of people. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins and good fats provides most of the vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients the body needs to function optimally..
However, certain factors can make it difficult to obtain all the necessary nutrients through diet alone:
- Food quality : Modern food production methods can reduce the nutrient content of foods. For example, mineral-depleted soils can affect the nutritional quality of fruit and vegetables.
- Lifestyle : People with very active lifestyles, those following a specific diet (such as vegans), or those with dietary constraints may find it difficult to get all the nutrients they need.
- Increased needs : At certain stages of life, such as pregnancy, breast-feedingor agingt and intensive sports activitiesAs the years go by, nutritional needs increase, and it can be difficult to meet them through diet alone.
- Nutrient absorption : Certain medical conditions or aging can affect the body's ability to absorb certain nutrients, even if these are present in sufficient quantities in the diet.
As a result, although food is the best source of nutrients, some dietary supplements may sometimes be necessary to make up for specific shortfalls or meet increased needs.

- Drug interactions : Some dietary supplements may interact with other drugs. prescription drugsThis reduces their efficacy or increases the risk of side effects. For example, the St. John's worta supplement often used for mild depression, may interfere with the efficacy of several medications, including oral contraceptives and anticoagulants.
- Allergies and intolerances : Some supplements contain ingredients that can cause allergic reactions or intolerances, especially in people who are sensitive to certain ingredients such as soythe gluten or the marine products. Always check the list of ingredients before taking a dietary supplement.
- Quality and purity : Not all supplements are equal quality. Some products may contain contaminants such as heavy metalsor ingredients not listed on the label. It is therefore essential tobuy supplements from reputable brands that follow strict production standards. This guarantees purity and the safety products.

- People with increased nutritional needs Certain stages of life or specific situations may lead to higher nutritional requirements.

- People on special diets : People following a vegan, vegetarian or other specific diet can sometimes find it difficult to obtain all the nutrients they need from food alone. Food supplements, such as vitamins B12, iron or omega-3, can help fill the gap.

- Structure linked to other proteins In spirulina, phycocyanin is bound to other proteins, making it difficult for the human digestive system to access. Its release from this structure is slow, taking between 24 and 36 hours, too long to be effectively digested.
- Limited absorption Bound phycocyanin cannot be efficiently absorbed by intestinal cells. Its absorption takes place in the duodenum, just after the stomach, but at this stage it is not yet separated from the proteins. As a result, it passes through the digestive system without being fully assimilated, limiting its beneficial effects.
- Freeze-dried form for improved bioavailability The freeze-dried phycocyanin Phyco-Lyo®Phycocyanin, on the other hand, is extracted and stabilized, considerably improving its bioavailability. This process detaches the phycocyanin from the spirulina, making it immediately assimilable by the body, maximizing its effectiveness.
In short, the phycocyanin present in raw spirulina is bound to other proteins, rendering its absorption ineffective. Freeze-dried phycocyanin enhances the assimilation and therefore the efficacy of this powerful nutrient.
The spirulina and the phycocyanin, are often associated, but they represent distinct elements with specific properties.
Spirulina is a blue-green microalgaerecognized as a superfood for its rich nutrient content. It contains complete proteins, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, offering a wide range of benefits to support energy, boost the immune system and promote overall good health.
Phycocyaninon the other hand, is a blue pigment specific, spirulina extract. This is one of its most powerful active components, responsible for its beneficial properties. Unlike the phycocyanin present in raw spirulina, extracted phycocyanin is highly concentrated and directly assimilated by the body, maximizing its effectiveness.
In a nutshell:
- Spirulina A complete, natural source of essential nutrients.
- Phycocyanin Extracted, powerful, targeted active ingredient that cannot be assimilated in its raw form in spirulina, but is effective in concentrated form.
Spirulina offers all-round nutrition, while concentrated phycocyanin acts specifically at a cellular level for more powerful, targeted effects.

Yes, phycocyanin is generally considered safe for children as young as 1 year, as long as the recommended doses are respected.
Recommended dosage for Phyco200 :
✅ From 1 year → 1/3 capsule
✅ From age 6 → 1/2 capsule
✅ From age 9 → 1 capsule
However, before introducing it into your child's diet, especially in its concentrated form such as freeze-dried phycocyaninit is preferable to consult a paediatrician or doctor to ensure suitability and adjust dosage if necessary.
It is recommended to consult a health care practitioner before taking phycocyanin during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Although phycocyanin is of natural origin and generally considered safe, its effect at concentrated doses needs to be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Yes, phycocyanin can be taken in combination with other dietary supplements. However, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional to avoid any undesirable interactions and guarantee a supplement adapted to your needs.
1. Understanding capsule dosage :
- Phyco200® Each capsule contains 200 mg of pure phycocyanin. In a bottle of 90 capsules, this represents 18 g of phycocyanin (90 capsules x 200 mg = 18,000 mg = 18 g).
- Phyco500® Each capsule contains 500 mg of pure phycocyanin. In a bottle of 90 capsules, this represents 45 g of phycocyanin (90 capsules x 500 mg = 45,000 mg = 45 g).
2. Understanding liquid phycocyanin dosage :
- Liquid forms of phycocyanin are often expressed in grams per liter (g/L). For example, a product dosed at 2 g/L (or 2000 mg/L) means that 1 liter of this product contains 2 grams of phycocyanin.
- Conversion for comparison: To compare with our capsules, we need to know how many millilitres of liquid are consumed each day.
- Example 1: If the recommended dose is 10 ml per day, this means 20 mg phycocyanin (2 g/L = 2,000 mg/L, and 10 ml = 1/100 of a liter, so 2,000 mg / 100 = 20 mg).
- Example 2: To consume the same amount of phycocyanine as a Phyco500® capsule (500 mg), you'd need to drink a 250 ml bottle of a liquid containing 2 g/L (250 ml = 0.25 L, and 0.25 x 2,000 mg = 500 mg).
3. Compare the total quantity in a bottle:
- A 90-capsule bottle of Phyco500® contains 45g of phycocyanin.
- A 250 ml bottle of 2 g/L liquid contains only 500 mg phycocyanin (2 g/L x 0.25 L = 0.5 g).
Conclusion: With our capsules, you get a much more concentrated dose of phycocyanin, without having to consume large quantities of liquid every day.
The effects of dietary supplements can be felt quickly for some, while others may notice the benefits after several weeks. In general, a 3-month period is often necessary for phycocyanin to act deep down at cellular level, promoting a return to the body's natural physiology through several cellular cycles.
The time it takes to see effects may vary depending on several factors:
- The objective The time needed to achieve results depends on your expectations (energy, sleep, weight loss, etc.).

Organic spirulina: a saturated market, but where does the real quality lie?
The organic spirulina has been booming in France over the past few years, driven by growing demand for healthy, organic food. But did you know that majority of organic spirulina you find on the market come from... on the other side of the planet ? Yes, most of them come from countries such as India or China.
Faced with the domination of industrial spirulina from Asia, French producers have decided to set themselves apart. Since 2010the Spiruliniers de France collaborate with FNAB (National Federation of Organic Agriculture) to include spirulina in the european organic regulation. At 2015a specifications specific to organic spirulina has been filed with theINAO (Institut National de l'Origine et de la Qualité).
But then, in 2017one major obstacle stands in the way: the European Union classifies spirulina as a "marine algae".. However, it is a cyanobacteria that live in brackish waterfar from the criteria of a seaweed. As a result, the european organic regulation proved unsuitable for spirulina production.
Meanwhile, the industrial spirulinaproduced at low cost on the other side of the world, benefits from the biological label thanks to loose equivalence agreements between foreign and European labels. This allows spirulina, often heated to 250°C and grown under dubious conditions, d'invade the French market.
Today, the FSF believes that european regulation requirements are incompatible with quality spirulina production in Europe. Indeed, for respect these rulesit would be necessary import plant-based nitrogen solutions from Latin Americawhich seems totally disconnected from organic values in its purest sense. Is this really what we expect from an organic product? The answer is no.
This is why we have decided to forego official certification. We believe thatresponsible production, respectful of the environment, living beings and consumersbased on the biomimicry and ethical awarenessis far more virtuous than the compromises imposed by current labels.
We stand for pure, local, high-quality spirulina that truly respects its fundamental values.

The spirulina is a micro-algae from the cyanobacteriarenowned for its exceptional nutritional value. It is made up of approximately 60 to 70 % of proteinincluding all essential amino acidsas well as vitamins (beta-carotene, vitamins D, B1, B2, B12, K), and minerals (iron, magnesium), the chlorophyllthe phycocyanin,as well as essential fatty acids as theoleic acid and linoleic.
The phycocyanin,one of the world's leading spirulina pigmentsgives it its color blue-green characteristic. It is a powerful immune system stimulant. However, it is important to note that the phycocyanin present in spirulina is not easily assimilated during digestion. This is why it is recommended to consume it in supplement of the spirulina to take full advantage of its benefitsin particular for boost natural defenses of the body.
Exactly! When you consume phycocyanin, alone, we focus solely on the blue pigmentwithout taking advantage of others nutrients in the spirulina. Likewise, the phycocyanin naturally contained in spirulina is difficult to assimilate during the digestion process.

Manufacturing process for Vibratory Spirulina® tablets
- Growing and harvesting
Spirulina is grown in accordance with the Spiruline Vibratoire® Cahier des Charges under environmentally-friendly conditions. It is harvested by filtration, which concentrates the spirulina into a thick paste.
- Drying
Once harvested, spirulina is transformed into a paste with a texture similar to that of fresh cheese, called biomass. This paste is then extruded into fine spaghetti, which are placed on grids and frames to ensure optimum air circulation. This process facilitates gentle, even drying.
- Grinding
After drying, the resulting twigs are gently ground into a fine powder while preserving their nutritional qualities.
- Compression
The powder is compressed into tablets without the addition of excipients, guaranteeing a pure, natural 100 % product.
- Quality control
Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure quality, purity and absence of contaminants.
- Packaging
The tablets are carefully packaged in optimal conditions to avoid humidity and guarantee their shelf life. Once ready, they are packaged for distribution.
This process guarantees spirulina tablets of the highest quality, respectful of production standards and faithful to the principles of biomimicry.
Drying spirulina is a key stage, carried out with the utmost care to preserve its precious nutritional qualities:
- Air drying in a controlled environment
The racks of fresh spirulina are placed inside specially-equipped dryers with fans and dehumidifiers. This system ensures optimum air circulation around the trays, promoting uniform evaporation of moisture.
- Careful temperature control
To preserve spirulina's vitamins and bioactive compounds, the temperature is kept between 35°C and 40°C throughout the process. This low temperature ensures that spirulina retains its nutritional richness and quality.
- Drying time
The time needed to dry spirulina can vary according to its initial moisture content, texture and drying conditions. In general, this process can take several hours, to ensure gentle, even drying.
- Checking and processing
Once dried, the spirulina is carefully inspected to ensure low moisture content, essential for its preservation. Next :
- In twigs: Dried spirulina is crushed into twigs, offering a raw, minimally processed form.
- In powder form: It can be finely ground to prepare tablets.
Thanks to this process, spirulina retains all its nutritional properties and purity, offering a final product of impeccable quality.

Spirulina is a real ally for seniors thanks to its many benefits:
Strengthening the immune system : Over time, the immune system weakens, increasing susceptibility to infection and chronic disease. Spirulina, rich in antioxidants, vitamins and essential minerals, helps stimulate the body's natural defenses, offering greater protection.
Source of high-quality protein: Spirulina contains 60-70 % of complete proteins, including all essential amino acids. This richness is particularly beneficial for maintaining muscle mass and combating sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss), especially in people with less protein-rich diets.
Energy and vitality : Spirulina provides iron, magnesium and B vitamins, essential for fighting fatigue and improving overall energy.
Why make spirulina part of a senior citizen's routine?
- Preventing nutritional deficiencies It meets specific micronutrient requirements.
- General wellness support Spirulina improves quality of life by boosting vitality.
- Ease of consumption Available in tablet, twig or powder form, it's easy to integrate into your daily routine.
An important precaution
Before adding spirulina to a dietary routine, it's advisable to consult a health professional, especially if you have pre-existing medical conditions or are undergoing specific treatments.
In short, spirulina is a powerful natural supplement that helps seniors achieve better health and overall well-being.
The spirulina contains methylcobalaminan active form of vitamin B12but also non-active analogues called pseudo-vitamin B12. These analogues, although harmless, are not biologically active in humans and may interfere with the results of vitamin B12 deficiency tests.
The question of bioavailability of the vitamin B12 in spirulina remains a hotly debated topic. Although spirulina contains vitamin B12 analoguesthe latter are not biologically active to meet human needs, unlike the active form of this vitamin, which is found in animal products. Few studies have been carried out on this subject in humans, and those that are available are often biased.
Results vary depending on many factors, including the production method spirulina. For example, the drying method plays a crucial role: when spirulina is exposed to extreme high temperaturesa large part of its vitamins, including vitamin B12, becomes inactive. In addition, studies do not always specify these drying conditions or participants' state of health and eating habitswhich further complicates the interpretation of the results.
So, while spirulina is an excellent source of many nutrientshis effectiveness as a source of active vitamin B12 for humans remains uncertain and request a more in-depth analysis.
Recommendations for vegetarians and vegans
- Do not rely exclusively on spirulina as a source of vitamin B12:
- Vegetarians and vegans should choose reliable sources, such as :
- Specific vitamin B12 dietary supplements.
- Fortified foods (plant milks, cereals, fortified nutritional yeasts).
- This guarantees a supply of bioactive vitamin B12 adapted to human needs.
- Vegetarians and vegans should choose reliable sources, such as :
- Monitoring and prevention :
- People following a vegan or vegetarian diet should have regular check-ups to monitor their vitamin B12 levels.
- If a deficiency is detected, a healthcare professional can recommend a suitable supplement.
Conclusion
Although spirulina is a nutrient-rich superfood, it is not a reliable source of vitamin B12 for humans. To prevent deficiencies, a complementary approach with specific supplements or fortified foods is strongly recommended.
Spirulina is a nutritional goldmine thanks to its many beneficial components:
- Vitamins : rich in essential vitamins such as vitamin B12, vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene), vitamin K, and certain B-group vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B6).
- Minerals : contains important minerals such as iron, magnesium, potassium, calcium and zinc. The iron contained in spirulina is particularly bioavailable, which is beneficial for iron-deficient people.
- Pigments : Chlorophyll, phycocyanin, beta-carotene and other pigments.
- Enzymes to aid digestion.
- Fatty acids : oleic and linoleic acids.
Heating spirulina is generally not recommended, as it can lead to a significant loss of its valuable nutrients and functional properties. Here's a detailed explanation of why it's best to consume spirulina without subjecting it to high temperatures:
- Loss of heat-sensitive vitamins
Spirulina is packed with essential vitamins, notably vitamin B12 and vitamin C, which are particularly sensitive to heat. Overcooking can drastically reduce their concentration, diminishing the overall nutritional value.
- Decrease in antioxidants
Rich in antioxidants, spirulina helps combat oxidative stress. However, exposure to high temperatures can alter these compounds and reduce their effectiveness.
- Protein alteration
Spirulina is an excellent source of complete proteins. However, proteins can become denatured when exposed to heat, altering their structure and reducing their ability to supply the body with the amino acids it needs.
- Enzyme inactivation
Among its benefits, spirulina contains enzymes beneficial to digestion and general health. Heat tends to destroy these enzymes, diminishing their positive impact.
- Reduced nutrient bioavailability
Heating can also compromise the bioavailability of nutrients, i.e. their absorption and utilization by the body.
Our recommendations for optimal consumption
- Add spirulina after cooking: If you're preparing a hot dish, add spirulina at the very end, once the preparation has cooled slightly, to limit its exposure to heat.
- Prefer raw consumption: To retain all its benefits, consume spirulina in smoothies, juices or by adding it to cold dishes such as salads or yoghurts.
In a nutshell
To take full advantage of the vitamins, antioxidants, proteins and enzymes it offers, it's essential to avoid heating spirulina. By incorporating spirulina into your diet raw or minimizing exposure to heat, you can maximize its health benefits.
The ideal dose of spirulina depends on many factors, including age, state of health, personal goals and the product used. Here are some general recommendations for safe and effective use:
Recommended daily dose
- For adults: A typical dose is between 3 and 5 grams a day. In some cases, doses of up to 10 grams can be used for specific needs, but this depends on objectives (sport, immune boosting, etc.) and individual tolerance.
- For children A lower dose is recommended, generally around 1 gram per day. Before giving spirulina to a child, it is essential to seek the advice of a paediatrician.
Beware of overdosing
- Maximum suggested dose Although spirulina is well tolerated, it is advisable not to exceed 10 grams per day without medical supervision. Excessive doses can lead to side effects such as digestive disorders and adverse reactions.
- Medical interactions Spirulina may interact with certain medications, notably immunosuppressants or anticoagulants. If you have a particular medical condition or are taking medication, consult a healthcare professional before adding spirulina to your diet.
When in doubt
For a personalized recommendation tailored to your needs, don't hesitate to ask a doctor or nutritionist for advice. This ensures optimal and safe use of spirulina.

Absolutely! Combining spirulina with vitamin C is not only possible, it's a winning combination for optimizing your well-being. Here's why:
- Better iron absorption: Spirulina is naturally rich in iron, an essential mineral, but iron of plant origin (non-haem iron) is often poorly absorbed by the body. Vitamin C improves this absorption by transforming non-haem iron into a form much more easily assimilated by the body.
- Enhanced antioxidant synergy: Spirulina is packed with antioxidants, and vitamin C is another powerful protector against free radicals. Together, these two allies boost your protection against cellular damage, strengthening your immune system and overall health.
- Energy boost and better recovery: Spirulina, rich in protein, essential amino acids, iron and vitamin B12, combined with vitamin C, supports your daily energy and facilitates recovery after exercise. Ideal for those involved in physical activity or looking to regain their vitality.
Practical tips
- To take full advantage of this synergy, we recommend taking your spirulina with a natural source of vitamin C, such as fresh fruit, or with a liposomal vitamin C supplement, like the one we offer.
In short, combining spirulina and vitamin C is an excellent idea for boosting your energy and making the most of their complementary properties. Don't hesitate to adopt this routine for maximum benefits!
Spirulina can be consumed at different times of the day, and each moment can offer specific benefits. Here are a few tips for adapting your intake to your needs:
- On an empty stomach: optimal absorption
Take spirulina on an empty stomach, about 30 minutes before a mealcan be particularly beneficial. It can :
- Helps control appetite Spirulina: Because it's rich in protein and nutrients, spirulina can make you feel full faster, reducing your appetite and allowing you to eat less at the next meal. Ideal if you're looking to manage your weight.
- Facilitate rapid absorption Taking spirulina on an empty stomach allows faster absorption of its nutrients, as the stomach is empty and the nutrients don't have to compete with those from other foods.
- With food: for optimal digestive comfort
If you find that spirulina taken on an empty stomach causes you digestive discomfort (such as nausea), or if you wish to optimize certain benefits, you can take it with a meal. This approach has several advantages:
- Reduced digestive discomfort Some people may experience nausea or mild discomfort when taking spirulina on an empty stomach. By combining it with a meal, you can reduce these effects.
- Improved iron absorption Eat spirulina with foods rich in vitamin C, such as citrus fruits, to enhance absorption of the iron it contains, for greater benefit.
In a nutshell
- If you're looking to reduce your appetite or benefit from rapid nutrient absorption, fasting spirulina is an excellent option.
- If you have a sensitive stomach or want to maximize iron absorption, it's best to consume it with a meal.
Every body reacts differently, so don't hesitate to test both methods to see which one suits you best.
Year-round consumption of spirulina can offer numerous nutritional benefits. There is no no contraindications to take them over long periods. However, for optimize its effectswe recommend making therapeutic windows. This involves making a 3-week break every 3 monthsor a one-week break each monthto allow your body to "recharge" and better absorb the benefits when you return to work.
It is important to follow recommended dosages and listen to your body throughout the course of the treatment. Spirulina should be used as a complement to a balanced diet, not as a substitute.

Our algal DHA food supplement comes from the microalga Schizochytrium sp.a specialized algae in the exclusive production of DHA. This explains why our product does not contain EPA.
It is important to understand thatalpha-linolenic acid (ALA)a omega-3 fatty acids commonly consumed in food, is converted into eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)then in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). However, although the conversion of ALA to DHA or marginal, conversion to EPA in adults is around 8 %This shows that the body has an appreciable capacity to produce EPA from ALA. (Burdge GC et al., Effect of altered dietary n-3 fatty acid intake upon plasma lipid fatty acid composition, conversion of [13C] alpha-linolenic acid to longer-chain fatty acids and partitioning towards beta-oxidation in older men. Br J Nutr. 2003, 90, 311-21. doi : 10.1079/bjn2003901).
By choosing theSchizochytrium sp. algaewe offer a source concentrated and direct DHAwithout depending on the body's conversion of ALA. This choice guarantees a targeted, effective response to your DHA needsfor optimal health support.
The DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is a essential omega-3 fatty acid. It is said to be essential because it cannot be synthesized by the body. It must therefore be supplied to the body by the diet, or by supplementation if dietary intake is insufficient.
DHA is mainly known for its benefits for brain, eye and cardiovascular health. He plays a crucial role in brain and eye development, especially in infants, and contributes to the smooth running of the nervous system in adults.

The collagen is a structural protein representing approximately 30% of total protein in the human body. It is mainly found in connective tissue, skin, bones, tendons and ligaments.
Endogenous collagen (synthesized by the body) plays a key role in the production of collagen a key role in tissue structure, strength and elasticityThis helps maintain the body's firmness and suppleness.
The collagen endogenous (synthesized by the body) is essential for maintain the structure and integrity of body tissues. It brings skin support and elasticity, strengthens bones, tendons and ligamentswhile contributing to the joint health and cartilages.
There are several types of collagen, each with a specific role in the body:
✅ Type I The most abundant, present in the skin, bones, tendons and ligaments.
✅ Type II Essential for cartilage health and joints.
✅ Type III : Found in the elastic fabrics and blood vessel walls.
✅ Type IV Located in the basal cell membranesplaying a key role in tissue support.
✅ Type V Present in hair and the cell surface.
These are type I collagen.
The collagen naturally produced by the body (endogenous collagen) plays a fundamental role in several structures:
💆♀️ Skin It maintains theelasticity and thehydrationhelping to reduce wrinkles and preserve your skin firm and supple.
🦴 Bones It is the organic matrix bonesbringing them strength and flexibility.
🦵 Joints Present in the cartilageit contributes to theshock absorption and promotes joint mobility.
With age, collagen production declines, which can have an impact on skin, joints and bone strength.
The collagen used in supplements comes mainly from animal sourcessuch as cattle hides, chicken bones and fish cartilage.
🔸 What about plant sources?
There is no such thing as plant collagen strictly speaking. However, some plant-based alternatives contain nutrients (vitamin C, amino acids, silicon) which naturally stimulate collagen production by the organization.
Our marine collagen is from animal sources and comes from the recycling of fish skins, scales and bones. These fish are not caught specifically for collagen production, but for food. What's more, they are MSC (Marine Stewardship Councilsustainable fishing label), guaranteeing responsible management of marine resources.
