What Is Spirulina, and What Is Inside Each Capsule?
Spirulina is a spiral-shaped blue-green microalga grown in warm, alkaline water, then harvested, dried and milled into a deep green powder. It has a long food history around Lake Chad in West Africa and Lake Texcoco in Mexico, and is one of the most widely sold single-ingredient supplements in the world.
Dried spirulina is a protein-rich food, typically 55 to 70 per cent protein by dry weight, and it supplies all nine essential amino acids. Its deep colour comes from the pigments phycocyanin and chlorophyll, and it also naturally contains beta-carotene. Those are properties of spirulina as a food. This particular product is straightforward: one active ingredient, at a stated weight.
| Dry natural spirulina powder | Amount |
|---|---|
| Per capsule | 250mg |
| Per serving (6 capsules) | 1,500mg — 1.5g (calculated) |
| Per day (18 capsules) | 4,500mg — 4.5g (calculated) |
| Per bottle (100 capsules) | 25,000mg — 25g (calculated) |
Allergen and dietary suitability. Spirulina is an algae, and anyone with a known algae or seaweed sensitivity should avoid it. Spirulina itself is not animal-derived. If you follow a vegan or vegetarian diet, contact us and we can check the available product information on the capsule shell for you before you order.
How Do You Take Tiens Tianshi Spirulina Capsules?
Take six capsules at a time, three times daily, orally — 18 capsules a day in total, which works out at 4.5g of spirulina. Swallow them with water. Do not exceed the stated directions unless a healthcare professional advises otherwise.
At that intake, a 100-capsule bottle is approximately a five and a half day supply, and a continuous 30-day routine works out at about six bottles. Both figures are calculated from the pack quantity and the directions, so you can plan how much to order before you check out, and international orders of several bottles ship as a single DHL parcel.
Results vary between individuals. Supplements are intended to support a healthy diet and lifestyle, not to replace them.
Who Is This Spirulina Supplement Suitable For?
Tiens Tianshi Spirulina Capsules are made for adults who want a straightforward daily food supplement with a single ingredient and a named manufacturer. It suits people who would rather take a capsule than measure loose powder, and who want to see exactly how much spirulina they take each day.
- Adults looking for a daily whole-food supplement rather than a multi-ingredient formula
- People who prefer a single-ingredient product with a stated weight per capsule
- Anyone who dislikes the taste of loose spirulina powder or smoothie blends
- Customers already using the Tiens range who want to stay with one manufacturer
- Buyers in Nigeria and abroad who want a NAFDAC-registered product from an authorised distributor
Who Should Avoid Spirulina, and Does It Have Side Effects?
Do not take this product if you have phenylketonuria (PKU), because spirulina is protein-rich and contains phenylalanine, or if you have a known allergy or sensitivity to algae or seaweed.
Speak to a doctor or pharmacist before using it if you have an autoimmune condition or take immunosuppressant medicine, including after a transplant; take warfarin or another anticoagulant, as spirulina contains vitamin K; have reduced kidney function, gout or a history of kidney stones; have a liver condition or a condition involving iron overload such as haemochromatosis; are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding; take prescription medication of any kind; or manage any long-term health condition. Recs-Medix supplies this product to adults only.
Side effects reported with spirulina are usually mild and early. Bloating, wind, loose stools or mild nausea in the first days of use are the most common, headache is also reported, and a green tint to stool is normal and harmless. Allergic reactions such as itching, rash or breathing difficulty are uncommon. Stop taking it and speak to a healthcare professional if you notice any reaction, particularly swelling, breathing difficulty, unusual muscle pain, or yellowing of the skin or eyes.
Quality matters with any algae product. Spirulina cultivated in uncontrolled open water can carry microcystins produced by other cyanobacteria, and can take up heavy metals from polluted water. That is a cultivation and manufacturing question rather than a property of spirulina itself, so buy a sealed bottle from a named producer rather than loose or repackaged powder of unknown origin.
What Tiens Tianshi Spirulina Capsules Do Not Do
Spirulina is a food supplement, and several claims made for it online are not made here. The vitamin B12 point is the one worth reading if you follow a plant-based diet.
- They do not treat, cure or prevent any disease. Anaemia, infection, high blood pressure, diabetes, liver disease and kidney disease need medical assessment and, usually, prescribed treatment.
- They do not detoxify the body or remove heavy metals. Spirulina is not a chelating agent. The liver and kidneys clear waste from the body.
- They are not a weight-loss product, and Tiens makes no weight or body-composition claim for them.
- They are not a reliable source of vitamin B12. Most of the B12-like compounds in spirulina are pseudovitamin B12, which the body does not use the way it uses true cobalamin. On a plant-based diet, take a supplement containing a recognised active form of B12 instead.
- They do not work instantly, and they do not replace a balanced diet, medication or medical care.

Frequently Asked Questions

They are taken as a daily whole-food supplement, and Tiens gives the health care effect as used to support immune function. Each capsule supplies 250mg of dry natural spirulina powder. They are not used to treat any diagnosed condition.
How many Tiens spirulina capsules should you take a day, and how long does a bottle last?

How much do Tiens Tianshi Spirulina Capsules cost, and where can I buy them in Nigeria?
The current price for the 100-capsule bottle is shown at the top of this page and switches between naira, US dollars, pounds and other currencies. Order online from Recs-Medix for same-day delivery in Lagos and Abuja where available, and nationwide delivery across Nigeria with Payment on Delivery.
Is it safe to take spirulina every day?
Spirulina is well tolerated by most healthy adults as a daily food supplement, and mild digestive effects in the first week are the most common complaint. It is not suitable for everyone: people with phenylketonuria or an algae allergy should avoid it, and anyone with an autoimmune, kidney or liver condition, or taking anticoagulant or immunosuppressant medicine, should get medical advice first.
Is Tiens Tianshi Spirulina suitable for vegetarians and vegans?
Spirulina is algae, so the ingredient itself is not animal-derived. If you avoid animal-derived ingredients, contact us and we can check the available product information on the capsule shell for you before you place your order.
Is spirulina safe for your kidneys?
Spirulina is protein-dense and contains purines, which the body converts to uric acid. Anyone with reduced kidney function, gout or a history of kidney stones should speak to a doctor before taking it. Drinking enough water alongside it is sensible for everyone.
Does spirulina remove toxins or heavy metals from the body?
No. Spirulina is a food, not a chelating agent, and it does not pull toxins or heavy metals out of the body — the liver and kidneys handle that. The heavy-metal question runs the other way with algae products: spirulina grown in uncontrolled open water can take up contaminants from that water, which is why the source of your spirulina matters more than any detox claim made for it.
Is spirulina a good source of vitamin B12?
No. Most of the B12-like compounds in spirulina are pseudovitamin B12, which the human body does not use the way it uses true cobalamin. Anyone following a plant-based diet should take a supplement containing a recognised active form of B12, and speak to a doctor about testing if they are concerned about their B12 status.
Do you ship Tiens Tianshi Spirulina Capsules internationally?
Yes. We ship worldwide by DHL Express to the USA, UK, Canada, the EU and Australia, typically three to five business days once dispatched, and multi-bottle orders travel as a single parcel. Every order leaves in the original manufacturer bottle.
