SPIRUL-1^®

Spirulina is a microalgae naturally rich in proteins, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It’s known for its many health benefits, including reducing fatigue and boosting physical and mental performance. It’s especially popular among athletes, vegetarians, and anyone looking for a natural dietary supplement.

As with plants, there are different types of spirulina. Pharmalp’s spirulina stands out for its high content of phytochelatins—naturally occurring proteins that help bind iron. This allows for a more concentrated iron intake, even with a smaller quantity of spirulina, compared to other types. This feature is particularly beneficial for those seeking to increase their iron intake naturally.

Spirulina is a microalga naturally rich in iron. The iron in spirulina is bound to proteins, making it more bioavailable and better tolerated by the body. Unlike free-form chemical iron, which can cause digestive discomfort, spirulina’s iron is more gently absorbed and less likely to cause unwanted side effects—making it ideal for children.

The iron in SPIRUL-1^® is bound in a natural form, which makes it more easily tolerated than conventional free-form chemical iron. This may lead to better digestive comfort, reducing common side effects like constipation or dark stools often associated with traditional iron supplements.

Yes, SPIRUL-1^® can be used over an extended period, with no contraindication to repeating the course according to individual needs. For vegan diets, iron intake should be monitored, and spirulina is an excellent natural option for those looking to support their iron levels.

For children, Pharmalp offers SPIRUL-1^® in a gummy format called PHARMALP JUNIOR, specially adapted to their age. These gummies are practical and fun, and are combined with other vitamins, minerals, and plant extracts to support children’s growth and energy. For teenage girls, especially after the onset of menstruation, SPIRUL-1^® can be beneficial due to its concentrated iron content during times of fatigue.
