What’s the difference between our old Certified Organic Bio-Spirulina 250mg and the new Certified Organic Spirulina?
The new Certified Organic Spirulina is made from the world first & only USP Grade Certified Organic Spirulina. Each tablet provides 200mg of pure spirulina powder in a smaller, more compact tablet that is easier-to-swallow, especially for children and the elderly. The new certified Organic Spirulina comes bottled in two sizes -- 120 tablets per bottle and 300 tablets per bottle.

What is USP Grade and what is the significance?
USP (United State Pharmacopoeia) Grade is a grade granted to an ingredient that has been verified by USP Verification Programme to consistently contain the highest quality, potency, and safety in every batch of production, 100% free from contaminants and in total compliance with Certificate of Analysis claims for identity, strength, purity and quality. USP Assurance is considered by the world to offer the ultimate quality assurance and only the top of the top quality spirulina is granted USP Grade. Parry Spirulina is the first and the only spirulina in the world to be granted USP grade, not even the USA spirulina manufacturer who claims to be the world-renowned spirulina producer was granted the USP Grade.

What’s the reason for switching from Earthrise Spirulina to Parry Spirulina?
Earthrise produces top quality Spirulina but as of October, 2005, they can no longer claim that it is organic due to a change in Organic Regulation that does not allow Chilean Nitrate (that was once approved as an organic fertilizer) to be used in Organic Spirulina cultivation. Earthrise and all of the other main spirulina producers in the USA were affected by this change. Some ceased production of Spirulina altogether while others stopped claiming that their Spirulina is Organic. In our never ending search for better quality products for our consumers, Cosway has located another very established spirulina producer, Parry Nutraceuticals, in India who has spent years of research and uses natural fertilizer to cultivate Organic spirulina without the use of Chilean nitrate. Parry Spirulina is certified organic by both Institute for Marketecology, Switzerland in accordance to USDA and Naturland, Germany in accordance to IFOAM.

Can pregnant or breastfeeding mothers take Certified Organic Spirulina? What about children?
Yes, Certified Organic Spirulina is considered as a safe and natural food, not contraindicated in these groups of people. In fact, we encourage pregnant/breastfeeding mother and children to take Spirulina because of its superior nutrient profile.

Does Certified Organic Spirulina causes heatiness?
The majority of people do not have problem even taking up to 15 tablets dailyof Certified Organic Spirulina daily. Studies have even shown 6g of spirulina (= 30 tablet of Certified Organic Spirulina) given to malnourished children daily, helped them to strengthen immune function without any side effects. However, there are a small number of people (particularly those who just started taking Spirulina) who experience heatiness. If this happens, just reduce the number of tablets until the body adjusts, and then increase the dose gradually. We also suggest that you drink at least 8 glasses of hexagon water daily.

If I am taking chlorella, do I still need to take Spirulina?
