Spirulina / LINABLUE®

DIC has been pursuing the potential of Spirulina for 40 years, aiming to achieve its SDGs with the power of materials derived from the earth.

Spirulina, an edible blue-green algae, is said to be one of the oldest forms of plants that appeared on earth approximately three billion years ago.
When viewed through a microscope, Spirulina looks like a coiled spiral, which is said to be how it earned its name based on the Latin word "spira" meaning twisted shape or helix.
Spirulina is known as the "King of Superfoods" with more than 50 well-balanced health-boosting nutrients. Its superb balance of nutrients and other properties have attracted great interest and it is now the most produced algae in the world, being used in a variety of fields including:
1) Nutritional supplements
2) Food products
3) Powdered food colorants
4) Animal feed
5) Cosmetics.
It is the most-produced type of algae in the world.

Also, our company seeks to achieve the SDGs by expanding the possibilities of Spirulina using our leading global-scale sophisticated cultivation and processing technology.
