Pittsburgh, PA: AlgenAir has announced that they are now offering consumers an easy way to grow spirulina at home with their new multifunctional product, the aerium. Spirulina is a nutrient-rich alga that is commonly referred to as a “superfood” supplement due to its strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The aerium is described by AlgenAir as “the world's first natural air purifier that uses algae to clean the air we breathe.” It removes carbon dioxide and other pollutants from the air using its tank of live algae, which doubles as a supportive environment for the growth of spirulina and other healthy algae.

Spirulina hosts a variety of potential health benefits. It is very high in protein and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which may protect against chronic disease. Spirulina may also reduce symptoms of allergic rhinitis and promote heart health by lowering cholesterol and blood pressure. Furthermore, spirulina has been shown to boost energy levels, improve cognitive function, and aid in weight loss. While many consumers have shown interest in incorporating spirulina into their diets, it has been relatively inaccessible due to the difficulty of growing this alga.

AlgenAir has been developing products to improve indoor air quality using the benefits of algae for several years. AlgenAir co-founder Dan Fucich has said that the company is "thrilled to know that consumers can now grow their own spirulina with the aerium, as it’s a great way to improve one's health without even having to leave home."

The aerium is available for purchase on the AlgenAir website and comes with a one-year warranty. For more information about AlgenAir and aerium, please visit their website at https://algenair.com.
