I am not sure...not even sure if this is a good or bad thing. Supposed to be all natural. As far as taste goes, the red fruitein was def more palatable, tho if u have any tolerance at all for anything with a "green" taste, then this won't really be an issue. Sometimes u can get a pdf of the product's ingredients. Or check the manufactures website or Google it. Unfortunately, I have none left so I can't read the can. Sorry.

Yes - it's one of the ingrediants listed under the "green food blend" along with some other kinds of seaweed.

What little I found out from digging around is all organic spirulina comes from India. Take this with a grain of salt because that info came from a website that claims to sell to companies that sell us organic. The best organic I ever had came from hawaii and is now owned by another company that no longer grows organic also the color of there spirulina has changed to a more dull green as before was a deep blue green that had almost a liquid look. The Pure Synergy company claims to grow there own in the USA. Good luck on finding the actual truth and let me know if u find something that is actually USA grown. Good luck Mindi

While the protein contained is impressive, the combined nutrients and chlorophyll make it a super food that will give you a nice burst of energy without the crash later. P.S. Best taken with grapefruit juice or cranberry juice to offset the God awful taste! ;)

Like all Spirulina, these smell funky and I'm sure if they were ground in to a smoothie it would taste funky, but on their own, the tablets are small, easy to swallow and have little to no after taste.

Flying fish roe, high fructose corn syrup, soy sauce, monosodium glutamate, sugar, kelp extract, yellow 6 and red 40. That's the best I could find with a strong light and magnifying glass.

NOW used to get their spirulina from the prisitne waters of Hawaii. It smelled good, tasted good and mixed well.They now get their spirulina from India, most likely because it's cheaper. it smells bad, mixes very poorly, (leaving green clots behind that look like pond scum) and tastes like it was harvested from the water in the Ganges. The best tasting spirulina I have found comes from Hawaii and California.

obviously it doesn't. Look at Hard Rhino Spirulina (Algae Pratensis) Powder, 500 Grams instead. Accdg. to their statements, they have their own in-house lab, triple-test for identity and purity, and produce in a FDA registered facility (latter isn't worth that much, but better than not FDA registered I guess).

The package says the product is Spirulina Platensis. The Pubmed data base has a journal article entitled, "A simple method for extracting C-phycocyanin from Spirulina platensis using Klebsiella pneumoniae." If you read further there are articles on the benefits of C-phycocyanin also on Pubmed. I'm mentioning Pubmed since these articles have the reputation of being from reliable refereed sources. Since the title mentions "extraction" I am assuming that means that Phycocyanin is already there. The abstract is at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17013600 . There are also numerous other Pubmed abstracts that discuss the "Phycocyanin from Spirulina Platensis." I am not a biochemist so the most I can say for certainty that this is Spirulina Platensis. I hope this helps.
