Summary
The Institute offers spirulina biomass to consumers under a manufacturing agreement.
Description
The Institute has developed a technology for the production of spirulina biomass and created a manufacturing area for its production.

Spirulina (Spirulina (Arthrospira) platensis) is a blue-green prokaryotic microalgae.

Spirulina contains:
* up to 70% protein, which consists of 18 amino acids, 8 of which are irreplaceable;
* more than 10 vitamins;
* organic compounds of iodine;
* up to 20 mineral elements (calcium, iron, magnesium, etc.);
* antioxidants, including phycocyanin - one of the most active antioxidants and radioprotectors.

Spirulina restores vitamin and mineral deficiencies, removes heavy metals and radionuclides from the body, normalizes metabolism, lowers cholesterol, has anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects

Spirulina is used in diets for children and diets, for feeding agricultural and domestic animals, as a raw material for the production of medicines, cosmetics, as well as in scientific research.

The institute offers spirulina biomass to consumers under a production agreement.

The price list can be found on the institute's website.
Advantages and Innovations
The produced biomass of spirulina is characterized by a high content of chlorophyll, active biologically active substances and a low content of heavy metals.
Stage of development
Already on the market
Comments regarding stage of development
The site for the production of spirulina biomass has been operating at the institute since 2019.
