Why is Australian Spirulina darker and more friable than other brands?
Normally a manufacturer will add about 20% binder or starch to keep the tablet firm and smooth. Our company insists our health products should not mix any unhealthy ingredients whatsoever for whatever reason. We use a low speed cool press system and increase the press pressure to keep the tablet as firm as possible, and our tablets are not the same as binder added products. Because we are 100% pure, Australian Spirulina’s tablet is friable and darker than others. Without the binder, Spirulina is more rapidly assimilated by the body. Remember, your $ is for Spirulina, not binder.
