QUESTION: CAN I USE SPIRULINA EVERY DAY?

Yes, spirulina is generally suitable for daily use; however, as Naturiga, we do not recommend using any nutrient “every day.” We believe in this approach to achieve diversity in our diet and to maintain a healthy gut flora by feeding our gut bacteria with a variety of foods.

Using it at reasonable intervals is always the most recommended method of use. The recommended daily dosage should generally not be exceeded, and if you have a special condition, you should consult your doctor before use.

Pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, young children, and individuals with autoimmune diseases should not use spirulina directly or should use it under medical supervision. Individuals allergic to seaweed and seafood should absolutely not use it.

QUESTION: ARE HEAVY METAL TESTS PERFORMED ON YOUR SPIRULINA?

Yes, we place orders by obtaining analysis results from our suppliers from whom we source our product, and additionally, after certain products that may contain risks, such as Spirulina, enter our warehouse, we send them for re-analysis to accredited laboratories in our country (we work with SGS laboratory). We conduct both heavy metal and pesticide analyses.

QUESTION: WHY DON'T YOU SHARE YOUR HEAVY METAL ANALYSES?

In the relevant legislation of the Republic of Turkey, it is prohibited for brands to publicly share their own analysis results. This is because the analyses performed cannot be seen as a guarantee that food safety is 100% ensured, and if shared, this situation can be considered misleading information for the consumer.

The declaration of food safety inspections and their results by manufacturers is under the responsibility and authority of the T.C. Ministry of Agriculture.

QUESTION: WHAT DOES SPIRULINA TASTE LIKE?

Spirulina is a food that grows in water, and its taste and smell are naturally seaweed-like. Our product does not contain any sweeteners or flavorings.

Therefore, individuals who find it difficult to use prefer to add it to more aromatic fruit juices to make it easier to consume.

QUESTION: CAN PREGNANT AND BREASTFEEDING INDIVIDUALS USE SPIRULINA?

Our product is a clean, natural, and organic raw material that is regularly tested (and successfully passes every time) for heavy metals or risky toxins. Although we select our products to be high quality and from only the best natural ingredients, we do not have the medical responsibility to advise whether a product is suitable during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or while using other medications, and therefore we always recommend consulting a healthcare professional or nutritionist who knows you.

All our ingredients are listed on our website. If you need any further information, please contact our team.

QUESTION: CAN I MIX SPIRULINA WITH OTHER POWDERED FOODS?

Absolutely yes! The most preferred combinations are other green food powders or more aromatic and tasty food powders or fruit juices to make its taste and smell more tolerable.

QUESTION: SHOULD I USE SPIRULINA ON AN EMPTY STOMACH OR A FULL STOMACH?

Spirulina can be used on an empty or full stomach, but in some cases, it is recommended to consume it at different times according to preference. Consuming it on an empty stomach can increase nutrient absorption and, with its protein content, can help manage appetite for those aiming for weight loss.

On a full stomach, it may be more suitable for those with stomach sensitivity. For best results, you should consult your doctor or nutritionist.

QUESTION: YOUR SPIRULINA IS PRODUCED IN CHINA, WHY DON'T YOU SOURCE IT FROM ANOTHER REGION?

China is the country where Spirulina production is most intense globally, and therefore, good quality products are available at more accessible raw material prices.

It is natural for consumers to have concerns about products produced in China.

However, it should be remembered that China is a vast geographical area and has very large areas of pristine, clean air and water resources that can be called tropical, far from industrial regions.

We can think of it this way:

Our city Aydın has the largest organic farming area in our country. Just as we do not expect the air pollution in Istanbul or the Izmit industrial zone to affect the organic farming regions in Aydın, the organic food production in China cannot be expected to be affected by the environmental realities in densely populated, industrialized regions.

At this point, what is important is to obtain a good and internationally high-quality food product under the most suitable conditions possible.
