Common ground and differences between Spirulina and Chlorella Spirulina: Spirulina platensis microalgae belong to the most pre- cious alkaline natural substances of our time. In a concentrated natural form they provide more than Attributes Chlorella pyrenoidosa Spirulina platensis 50 vital substances for human beings and animals. In all eras they have been used as a supplement food, e. g. in Botanical name • Chlorella pyrenoidosa • Spirulina platensis previous ancient cultures of the Maya and Aztec.
