Description
Spirulina Spimate — 1,200 Tablets, Spirulina with Vitamin C and Lactic Acid Bacteria
Overview
1,200 small tablets. An adult serving is twenty of them a day, split across the day; a child takes one tablet per year of age. That child rule is the reason this product exists in this form — a two-year-old takes two tablets, a six-year-old takes six, and the arithmetic is simple enough to do at the breakfast table.
Spimate is spirulina with three things added: vitamin C at 160 mg in the adult serving, over two billion spore-forming lactic acid bacteria (Lacris-S, chosen because the spore survives stomach acid), and a fermented enzyme powder from Kumejima made on a long list of plants and fruits.
Two things the old description said that this one does not. It said Spimate "eliminates anemia" and "relieves constipation problems". Neither is a claim a food may carry, and iron-deficiency anaemia in particular is a diagnosis, not something to treat with an algae tablet. This is a food, not a medicine. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

- Anyone who prefers a tablet made from an ingredient they can name over a formula they cannot
- Not for you if you take warfarin or another anticoagulant, or you avoid shellfish

Vitamin K. Spirulina is a natural source of vitamin K, and vitamin K is what warfarin works against. The pack itself says to consult a doctor if you have restrictions on vitamin K or take an anticoagulant, and we repeat it here in Cautions rather than leaving it at the bottom of an ingredient list.
Composition and specification as declared by Japan Algae on the Japanese-market pack and the manufacturer's official product page.
Cautions
- If you take warfarin or another anticoagulant, speak to your doctor first. Spirulina carries vitamin K, which is exactly what warfarin acts against. The pack says this itself.
- Contains shellfish, and seaweed is declared. Check the list above against your own allergies before ordering.
- This is a food. It is not a treatment for anaemia, for constipation, or for anything else, and a child who is tired or pale needs a doctor rather than an algae tablet.
- If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, under medical care or taking prescribed medication, speak to your doctor before use.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep out of reach of children.
- This is a food, not a medicine. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

FAQ
How long does a pack of 1,200 last?
It depends entirely on who is taking it. An adult at twenty tablets a day gets sixty days from the pack; a six-year-old at six tablets a day gets two hundred. Our own record and the manufacturer's listing give different overall day-counts for this reason, so we have printed the tablet count and the servings and let you do the division for your own household.
Twenty tablets a day sounds like a lot.
The tablets are small and spirulina is a whole food rather than a concentrate — the count is high because each tablet carries little. Split them across the day rather than taking twenty at once.
Can I give it to a toddler?
The pack's rule is one tablet per year of age, so a two-year-old takes two. For a child too young to chew a tablet, dissolve it and stir it into purée or porridge. If your child is under one, ask your paediatrician first.
What are spore-forming lactic acid bacteria?
Bacteria that form a protective spore, which means they survive stomach acid and arrive in the intestine alive. Spimate declares over two billion of them per adult serving, under the name Lacris-S.
Does it contain iron?
Spirulina is naturally a source of iron, but Spimate does not print an iron figure on the pack, so we cannot tell you how much a serving gives. If you are taking this for iron, that is a reason to see a doctor and get the number measured rather than estimated.
