Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) is a simple, one celled form of algae that thrives in warm, alkaline fresh water. The name ‘Spirulina’ is derived from the Latin word for ‘helix’ or ‘spiral’, denoting the physical configuration of the organism when it forms swirling, microscopic strands.
Spirulina is 69 percent complete protein, with all the essential amino acids in perfect balance. In comparison, beef is only 22 percent protein. Spirulina also provides high concentrations of many other nutrients – amino acids, chelated minerals, pigments, rhamnose sugars (complex natural plant sugars), trace elements, enzymes (SOD), and essential fatty acids (both linoleic and linolenic acid) – that are all in an easily assimilable form.
Spirulina is one of the blue-green algae due to the presence of both chlorophyll (green) and phycocyanin (blue) pigments in its cellular structure.
Spirulina lacks cellulose cell walls, unlike other blue/green algae, therefore it can be easily digested. Viridian’s Spirulina has been certified organic by the Soil Association.

Viridian supplements are ethical vitamins with an organic heart! There truly is something for everyone for every health condition in the Viridian range, from probiotics, to herbs, to multis, to singles, to oils... the list goes on.
We love the range as they contain absolutely no nasties but we hope that you already assumed that, to be stocked by our good shelves. So the fillers or bases of these products (where required) are foods such as bilberry or alfalfa, some of the great things that you know you should eat, but probably don't. This avoids using the usual cheap and nasty fillers that a lot of other companies use.
Everyone feels great on Viridian, both by buying ethical and the results too! Never have we experienced such commitment to a supplement brand, people try it, they see results and don't want to chance using anything else! Their Clear Skin Complex and Clear Skin Oil used in combination never fail to please those with problematic skin conditions, the formulations are expertly designed and include everything you would want to see in a skin health supplement.
Our favourite must have product for every household is the Raw Coconut Oil that we always recommend if cooking at a high temperature. And if you run out of your moisturiser, just pop down to your kitchen cupboard and bingo! Bring your bottles back for recycling and receive 25p off your next purchase.
