Each lot of Spirulina, each day of production, is tested for toxins and certified to be between 25 and 50 times below standards which were discussed by the Oregon Department of Agriculture in 1997 of 1 part per million. It does not produce algal toxins. We avoid any contamination through controlled environments and sophisticated analytical testing so we can certify the safety of Earthrise Spirulina. Consumers can be assured that it is safe and wholesome. As for other blue-green algae being studied by Holmes and Health Canada, Kelly encourages and supports continued research to ensure that all supplements pose no health risks to consumers.
Many products are on the markets and make many claims.
We can't speak for all the supplement providers and those marketing other blue-green algae. We can say that Earthrise Spirulina is safe, and we hope that any future reports by researchers and health organizations clearly distinguish between spirulina and lake harvested algae so consumers have the right information to pick and choose products carefully.
