PhycoSci X20®

Purity and Safety...

Xelliss has developed its own trademarked and copyrighted A3Nat proprietary strain of spirulina and phycocyanin.

The photobioreactor technology is more expensive than growing algae in ponds, but guarantees a pure and safe product, as the cultivation system avoids biological, chemical, and physical hazards. There is also no heating required that can alter the properties of the active ingredients.

There are several other benefits to the proprietary photobioreactor process. The first is the unique extraction process. Xelliss can remove the phycocyanin attached to the cell membrane of spirulina, without membrane residues or chlorophyll, creating “free phycocyanin” of the highest potency. This is done immediately after the spirulina production, providing you the freshest nourishment possible.

The spirulina grows freely without competition from other microalgae, under monitored conditions with an optimum supply of nutrients, CO2 and specific light. The selected cultivation parameters and continuous monitoring ensure constant quality with peak levels of valuable nutrients.

Most spirulina you purchase online or in health food stores contains a phycocyanin level between 0 (yes zero) and 14 percent. PhycoSci X20 from Xellis reaches a range between 17 and 19 percent – and also higher amounts of other nutrients.

This virtual farming is done at a research facility in Asturias, Spain, located near a UNESCO designated Biosphere Reserve. By housing the laboratory here, the photobioreactors can be stocked with mountain water from the nearby Somiedo Water Reservoir.

This pristine water is then bioenhanced by reverse osmosis filtering, producing the highest water quality needed for optimal microalgae cultivation. Then the nutrients are added to this pure water for optimal algae growing.

The finished product truly is even better than Mother Nature could do by herself! Technology like this causes Xelliss to be recognized as the world’s premier algaebased company using the best algae industrial technology.
