Like any human activity, the production of microalgae has an impact on our environment, mobilizes resources, generates CO2 and waste that must be recycled. On the other hand, spirulina works like a plant, it consumes CO2 and generates oxygen.

Throughout the life cycle of our products, we strive to design its various components ecologically and in a true sustainable eco-design approach.

At ECOSYNIA, we thus analyze, in a process of continuous improvement, the impacts of our activities with regard to environmental, social, economic and ethical issues, throughout
long life cycle of our products covering the following areas:

• Cultivation of microalgae in greenhouse ponds
• Harvesting, storage and transport of biomass to the extraction and recovery site
• Preparation of extracts, packaging in sterile bags or drinks, delivery
• The resources used (water, electricity, inputs, consumables) and their recycling

The growing demand that surrounds food supplements today, gives rise to an ever more varied offer, but which very often lacks transparency vis-à-vis consumers: Actual origin concealed, list of ingredients used in the product omitted or little detailed, malicious circumvention of international regulations, or even by adding less than 5% of active substances of controversial origin or quality to a base meeting the requirements of the European AB BIO label *.

Our duty of transparency is all the more crucial when it comes to products and ingredients intended for food supplements, and in particular for those claiming a strong naturalness.

At the house of MINERAL BLUE , we are committed to providing you with comprehensive and clear information on the origin of our products, their composition, or the production or packaging conditions practiced.

“Food supplements are foodstuffs the purpose of which is to supplement the normal diet and which constitute a concentrated source of nutrients or other substances having a nutritional or physiological effect, alone or in combination, marketed in the form of doses. “ National Union of Food Supplements SYNADIET

In France it is Directorate General for Competition, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control (DGCCRF) who grants or not the marketing of new food supplements. They are subject to all the general provisions of food law but also to the specific rules defined by the European Parliament and the Council of 10 June 2002 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States.

You have already seen texts of the type on products:

“Promotes digestion”, “Contributes to the proper functioning of the immune system”,….

Well, these sentences are allegations. It is the European Commission which legislates in this matter on the basis of the advisory opinions of the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority).

In the case of spirulina and therefore phycocyanin, there are 4 pending claims but the use of which is authorized during the manufacture of food supplements provided that the minimum concentration to observe effects is reached. In the case of spirulina, the amount ingested daily should be around 2 g, which in the case of phycocyanin gives a minimum amount of 200 mg. But that’s without counting on the much better bioavailability of phycocyanin in the already extracted liquid form, so from 10ml per day (or from 15mg to 120mg / d of pure phyco in liquid form), the effects are already noticeable.
