When most people think of spirulina, they often imagine a strong, algae-like taste that can be challenging to incorporate into their daily diet. But what if we told you that spirulina could be different? At BLUwater, we've revolutionized not just the taste of spirulina, but the entire production process, creating a product that's sustainable, pure, and deliciously refrereshing.
Reinventing Spirulina Production
At the heart of BLUwater's innovation is our unique spirulina cultivation process. We've developed a closed-loop system that not only produces high-quality spirulina that’s free of heavy metal contamination but does so in a way that's incredibly environmentally friendly.
Recycling CO2: A Breath of Fresh Air
One of the most exciting aspects of our production process is how we handle CO2. Instead of contributing to greenhouse gas emissions, we actually recycle CO2 to grow our spirulina. This process serves a dual purpose:
- It provides the carbon that our spirulina needs to grow.
- It reduces our carbon footprint, making our production process more sustainable.
By using CO2 that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere, we're not just producing a superfood – we're actively contributing to a healthier planet.
The potential of this approach is backed by scientific research. A study published in the Journal of CO2 Utilization found that microalgae cultivation could be an effective method for CO2 capture and utilization.
Water Conservation: Every Drop Counts
Water scarcity is a growing global concern, and at BLUwater, we take this issue seriously. Our innovative production system allows us to recycle 85% of the water used in the spirulina cultivation process. This significant water conservation effort not only reduces our environmental impact but also ensures that our production is sustainable even in areas where water resources may be limited.
The importance of water conservation in algae production is highlighted in a study published in the journal Algal Research. Read the study
Pesticide-Free Cultivation: Pure from Start to Finish
Unlike traditional agricultural processes, our spirulina is grown without the use of any pesticides. This pesticide-free approach ensures that our spirulina is as pure and natural as possible, free from harmful chemicals that could compromise its nutritional value or your health.
Research has shown that organic cultivation methods can lead to higher antioxidant levels in crops. A study published in the British Journal of Nutrition found that organically grown crops had significantly higher concentrations of antioxidants compared to conventionally grown crops. Read the study
Heavy Metal-Free: A Cleaner Superfood
One of the concerns often raised about algae-based products is the potential for heavy metal contamination. We're proud to say that our spirulina is free of heavy metals, thanks to our carefully closed loop system.
The importance of this cannot be overstated. A study published in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology highlighted the potential risks of heavy metal contamination in food supplements, including algae-based products. The authors emphasized the need for stringent quality control to ensure the safety of these products. Read the study
The Result: Flavorless Spirulina
Now, let's address the elephant in the room – the taste. Many people associate spirulina with a strong, often unpleasant flavor that can be described as fishy or pond-like. This taste is one of the biggest barriers to people incorporating this nutrient-dense superfood into their diets.
At BLUwater, we've tackled this challenge head-on. Through our proprietary extraction process, we've unlocked the nutritional power of spirulina, without the undesirable taste. A spirulina drink that is virtually flavorless. While our process is proprietary, we can tell you the result: a spirulina product that delivers all the nutritional benefits without the taste that many find off-putting.
Our spirulina, in which we call FUL BLU, is BLUwater's hero ingredient. It's what makes it naturally blue and rich in antioxidants.Th is what allows us to create BLUwater – a refreshing, spirulina-infused drink that you can enjoy without any hint of that typical algae taste. It's spirulina reimagined, in a form that's easy to incorporate into your daily routine.
The Nutritional Powerhouse of Spirulina
While we've focused on our production process and taste improvements, it's important not to overlook the incredible nutritional profile of spirulina.
Spirulina is renowned for its essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. A study published in the journal Cardiovascular Therapeutics noted that Spirulina is a high-protein, low-calorie food that contains all essential amino acids, essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. The researchers also highlighted its potential health benefits, including hypocholesterolemic, immunological, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Read the study
Another study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food found that spirulina supplementation could improve lipid profiles, immune variables, and antioxidant capacity. The authors concluded, "the results demonstrate that spirulina has favorable effects on lipid profiles, immune variables, and antioxidant capacity in healthy, elderly male and female subjects.

Why BLUwater's Approach Matters
Our unique and sustainable process produces a sustainable and high quality spirulina, which offers several key benefits:
- Sustainability: By recycling CO2 and conserving water, we're producing a superfood that's good for you and the planet.
- Purity: Our pesticide-free, heavy metal-free spirulina is as pure as it gets, ensuring you're getting all the benefits without any unwanted additives.
- Palatability: The better tasting nature of our spirulina makes it much easier to incorporate into your diet, whether through our BLUwater drinks or other recipes.
- Consistency: Our controlled growing conditions ensure that every batch of spirulina is of the same high quality, delivering consistent nutritional benefits.
- Nutrient Preservation: Our extraction process maintains the nutritional integrity of the spirulina, ensuring you get all the benefits in a more palatable form.
New Era for Spirulina
At BLUwater, we're not just producing spirulina – we're reimagining what this superfood can be. Through our sustainable, innovative production process, we've created a spirulina that's pure, environmentally friendly, and surprisingly super refreshing. .
This approach allows us to offer you all the incredible health benefits of spirulina in a form that's easy to enjoy. Whether you're a long-time spirulina user or someone who's been curious but put off by the taste, BLUwater offers a new way to experience this remarkable superfood.
With BLUwater, you're not just making a choice for your health – you're making a choice for the planet. It's spirulina evolved, and we invite you to taste the difference.
