Spirulina Capsules: How to Pair Them with Shilajit Resin
Spirulina is a nutrient-dense superfood packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. When paired with shilajit, it promotes enhanced detoxification, energy production and immune function.
Our Spirulina capsules are 100% pure spirulina. To pair it with shilajit, take them alongside our shilajit resin, the purest, most concentrated form of shilajit and the everyday choice.
This post covers what spirulina is, what's in each capsule, what the research says, and how to pair it with shilajit.
What is spirulina?
Spirulina is a blue-green microalga that grows in warm, alkaline lakes. It's been eaten as food for centuries, and today it's one of the most popular plant-based supplements in the world. It gets its deep blue-green colour from chlorophyll and a pigment called phycocyanin.
What's in each capsule?
- 500mg of 100% pure spirulina
- No fillers, no additives
The label suggests 3 capsules a day, so a pot of 60 lasts 20 days. They come in pots of 60, 120, 360 and 720.
Why spirulina is called a superfood
Plant-based protein
Spirulina is about 60% protein by dry weight, and it contains all nine essential amino acids. That makes it perfect for anyone looking to increase their intake of plant-based protein.
Vitamins and minerals
It's naturally rich in iron, magnesium, potassium and calcium, plus B vitamins like thiamine, riboflavin and niacin, and beta-carotene.
Antioxidants
Phycocyanin, the pigment that gives spirulina its colour, is an antioxidant. Spirulina also contains beta-carotene and chlorophyll.
What does the research say about spirulina?
A 2011 review in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, by researchers from Liverpool, looked at the human research on spirulina. It describes spirulina's ability to modulate immune function and its anti-inflammatory properties (read the review).
Why pair spirulina with shilajit?
Spirulina and shilajit bring different things:
- Spirulina brings protein, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
- Shilajit brings fulvic acid, a natural transporter that helps the body absorb minerals and nutrients, plus its own naturally occurring minerals. More in The Science of Shilajit: Unlocking the Power of Fulvic Acid.
Paired together, they promote enhanced detoxification, energy production and immune function, boosting overall wellness and vitality.
Shilajit's role in energy production is the best studied. A 2012 study found shilajit restored mitochondrial activity in rats after chronic stress (read the study), and a 2019 human trial found active men taking 500mg a day held on to more strength after a tiring exercise test (read the study).

How to take spirulina with shilajit
The simplest daily routine:
- Morning: use a small spoon to scoop out a pea-sized amount of shilajit resin, about 500mg. Stir it into warm water, tea or coffee.
- Through the day: take your spirulina capsules as the label says, 3 a day, with a glass of water.
Seven easy ways to take the resin are in How to Incorporate Shilajit into Your Daily Routine.
Why resin for your shilajit?
Resin is the purest, most concentrated form of shilajit, with nothing added, so a whole serving is shilajit. It's also good value: a 30g jar holds about 60 servings, about 50p a day, or as little as 33p on bundles. See How Long Does a Jar of Shilajit Resin Last?
If you're travelling or short on time, our shilajit blend capsules are handy for a few days. For everyday use, resin comes first. More in Shilajit Resin vs Capsules: Which Should You Buy?

Quality you can check
All our capsules are lab tested, including these Spirulina capsules.
We also publish the full certificate for our shilajit resin. Every batch of resin is tested by Huson and Hardwick (Alex Stewart Agriculture), an ISO 17025 accredited lab in Liverpool. Our February 2026 batch came back at 73.8% fulvic acid and 88.5% total humic substances, with heavy metals within limits and no E. coli, salmonella or pesticides detected. See the Lab Results page or the full certificate (PDF).
