Premiere Spirulina
Cyanotech Algae Ponds
Kona,
Hawaii |
The spirulina that is used in SPECTRA 12TM is sourced from Cyanotech
Corporation in Kona, Hawaii. Cyanotech is the leading edge
developer of commercialized natural products made from
microalgae.
The Company is currently producing microalgae
products for the nutritional supplement and immunological
diagnostics markets in addition to microalgae-based products for the
aquaculture feed/pigments and food coloring
markets.
Microalgae are a diverse group of over 30,000
species of microscopic plants which have a wide range of
physiological and biochemical characteristics and naturally contain
high levels of nutrients. Microalgae represent a largely unexplored
and non-exploited renewable natural resource, which grow much faster
than land-based plants. Under favorable growing conditions, certain
microalgae produce a new crop every week.
Cyanotech has designed, developed and
implemented proprietary production and harvesting technologies,
systems and processes which eliminate many of the stability and
contamination problems frequently encountered in the production of
microalgae. The Company's technologies, systems, processes and
favorable growing location permit year-round harvesting of its
microalgae products in a cost-effective manner.

Cyanotech's principal revenues are derived from sales of
microalgae-based "Spirulina" products for the vitamin and supplement
market. Spirulina Pacificaš is a unique strain of Spirulina
developed by Cyanotech which provides a vegetable-based, highly
absorbable source of natural beta carotene, mixed carotenoids, other
phytonutrients, B vitamins, gamma linolenic acid ("GLA"), protein
and essential amino acids.
Hawaiian Spirulina
Pacificaš has achieved high brand identity among both wholesale
and retail customers. The Company has tripled its Spirulina
production capacity since 1993 and continues to increase capacity.
Cyanotech currently markets its products in the United States and
twelve other countries through a combination of retail, wholesale
and private label channels, and plans to market new products either
directly or through strategic alliances where appropriate. Cyanotech
maintains an environmentally responsible philosophy in the
development and production of its products, using natural production
methods and resources which employ extensive recycling of raw
materials and nutrients. The Company believes their recycling
methods result in substantially lower operating costs. The
production system operates without the use of pesticides and
herbicides, and does not create erosion, fertilizer runoff or water
pollution. Cyanotech was the first producer of microalgae to receive
third party organic certification.
