VAXA Technologies Iceland: Groundbreaking Study Reveals Enhanced Natural Vitamin B12 Production in Spirulina Through Photonic Management

Finanznachrichten News

REYKJAVÍK, Iceland, Aug. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A new study conducted by an international team of researchers has unveiled a pioneering approach to boosting the production of active vitamin B12 in Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) using photonic management in scalable photobioreactors. This innovative method could pave the way for Spirulina to become a sustainable and efficient alternative to animal-based sources of vitamin B12, addressing a critical global micronutrient deficiency.

The research, published in the journal Discover Food, demonstrates that specific light conditions in photobioreactors significantly increase the levels of biologically active vitamin B12 in Spirulina. The active vitamin B12 content achieved is comparable to that found in beef, making Spirulina a promising substitute for traditional animal-derived vitamin B12 sources.

Vitamin B12 deficiency affects over a billion people worldwide, leading to serious health issues. This study presents Spirulina as a viable, sustainable alternative to traditional animal sources, reducing environmental impacts from livestock farming.

Professor Issac Berzin, CTO of VAXA, the company that invented the technology behind the breakthrough, remarked, "These findings are a significant step forward in biotechnology and sustainable nutrition. Located in Iceland next to a geothermal power plant VAXA leverage plant's resources and Icelandic pristine water to optimise photonic management and produce Spirulina with high levels of active vitamin B12, providing a viable alternative to animal-based sources and addressing a critical nutritional deficiency in a sustainable manner."

VAXA Technologies is expanding it's successful ÖRLÖ food supplement line with the addition of Icelandic Ultra Spirulina products, allowing consumers to enjoy the benefits of active B12 from sustainable nutrition.
