Despite being around for eons, there’s not much (scientific) information on Spirulina. That’s mainly because there haven’t yet been enough studies proving its many benefits—and the ones that have shown positive results have not had enough participants to earn them FDA credibility.
We created the Brainery as a resource for you, the spirulina lover, that would enjoy educating oneself with more in-depth knowledge. From scientific papers to links from our fellow algae friends.
Can spirulina boost the immune systems of athletes?
May 2, 2018

Strenuous exercise regimes of high-performance athletes may actually have a negative effect on their immune systems, resulting in an increased vulnerability to infections, such as those of the upper respiratory tract. Since reducing exercise levels is not an option for these athletes, one possible route to maintaining immunity may lie in the use of supplements.
With this idea in mind, a group of researchers in Poland investigated whether taking spirulina as a supplement could maintain the immune systems of top athletes.
New biofuel cell system uses spirulina

Japan for Sustainability reports that Osaka City University announced on April 25, 2018, that it succeeded in developing a new biofuel cell system with the functions of a solar cell and the ability of carbon dioxide conversion. Utilizing the photosynthesis function of spirulina, this solar-light driven biofuel cell generates electricity by consuming CO2 in water as source material and produces formic acid as a byproduct while generating electricity.
Growing oxygen from spirulina in space

Though the International Space Station is regularly restocked by cargo vessels, like today’s Dragon, self-sufficient spaceflight in the future will require us to recycle and reuse precious resources like oxygen. An experiment in space will soon look into doing just that.
Researchers are studying how photosynthesis — the process by which organisms convert light into energy, producing oxygen as a byproduct — takes place in space. This pilot project is the first of its kind, and its researchers and engineers hope to follow it up with a longer study that continuously feeds in microalgae.
Fighting childhood malnutrition in Zambia with spirulina

Memory Maninga reports for Zambia Daily Mail that in Mansa, the capital of the Luapula Province of Zambia, spirulina is being grown in ponds in the communities because of its high medicinal and nutritional value.
Zambia has in the recent past been importing spirulina from the United States. However, imported products could not meet the demand, prompting the Zambia Agricultural Research Institute (ZARI) to engage in local production of spirulina
The Future of Spirulina in an Evolving World

Understanding the role of microscopic algae, the foundation of life, can help us develop restorative models of personal and planetary health. Algae are an essential part of Earth’s self-regulating life support system. Innovative schemes and dreams using algae promise to help re-green the desert, re-fertilize depleted soils, farm the oceans and encourage biodiversity.

Oasia Farms
Oasia Farms is a spirulina microfarm based in Los Angeles County, offering fresh spirulina. The farm is run and founded by Dale, who has a background in aerospace engineering. He realized pretty soon that his calling was instead to grow spirulina and improve people’s lives every day.
Nāmaka Algae Raw Hawaiian Spirulina
Nāmaka Algae is proud to offer fresh, locally grown raw Spirulina from the Big Island of Hawaii. It is truly raw, living and produced with care. Care for our algae, our environment, and our community.
Spiruline du Garlaban
If you ever find yourself near Province, France, and are in need of the best spirulina you can get your hands on you need to visit Spiruline du Garlaban. This is where I learned my spirulina cultivation skills from Vincent Rioux Maitre Spirulinier. If you’re lucky and time your visit he might just feed you some of his heavenly fresh spirulina and you’ll be able to grab a bag of sprinkles for the road…
