Parry Nutraceuticals manufactures World’s finest Organic Spirulina, the only one verified under the US Pharmacopeia ingredient verification program and GRAS affirmed. Parry Organic Spirulina is certified under 4 major Organic standards - USDA NOP, Naturland, Ecocert and OCIA IFOAM standards. Parry Organic Spirulina manufacturing process adheres to strictest quality control standards like HACCP (Food Safety Standards), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management standards) and ISO 9001, GMP facility (Quality Management Systems) certified by Bureau Veritas.
Recently, there has been comparison of Organic Spirulina nutrient profile compared to regular Hawaiian Spirulina. Our expert’s opinion on the information is as follows:
- Parry Organic Spirulina is manufactured using pure vegetarian Organic nutrients which are “Certified organic”. Unlike ‘regular’ Spirulina, no synthetic chemicals, fertilizers or trace minerals are allowed under these standards, especially Naturland, for Organic Spirulina cultivation. We do not add any trace minerals like Iron and other minerals in our Organic Spirulina cultivation process.
- Parry Organic Spirulina offers one of the richest nutrient profiles. We have compared the top 5 unique phyto-nutrients in Spirulina, namely Carotenoids, Zeaxanthin, Phycocyanin, Chlorophyll and GLA.
- Given below is a table comparing the top 5 phyto-nutrient profile of Hawaiian Spirulina spec and analysis report, Parry Organic Spirulina specs and Parry Organic Spirulina third party analysis report from Covance (Feb’09 Report) and SGS (2008 report).
