the production unit in combination with the continuous quality controls contribute decisively to the <strong>production of excellent quality spirulina.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Spirulina grows in an aquatic, alkaline environment with the help of solar radiation and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 5px;\"><strong>The keys ensuring the excellent quality of our
