Researchers analyzed fresh, frozen and dried spirulina. Frozen spirulina contained 2.7 times more phycocyanin, 6.8 times more chlorophyll, 3.7 times more carotenoids, 2.3 times more protein and 8.9 times more vitamin C than conventional dried spirulina sold as a...

Independent research shows that dried Spirulina loses more than 50% of its therapeutic antioxidant activity in 2 months unless stored at temperatures below 10°C in amber packs that are hermetically sealed.

Independent research compared levels of bioactive antioxidant compounds in fresh and dried Spirulina. The antioxidant ability to scavenge free radicals was measured to be 4.95 times higher in fresh spirulina compared to dried spirulina.
