Hawaiian Spirulina is a select strain of arthrospira platensis developed over many years of continuous cultivation in Hawaii . Strain development and perfection started in 1984. The cultures grown by Cyanotech in Hawaii represent the oldest continuously cultivated and harvested spirulina in the world. Hawaii 's year-round grown conditions and integrated culture management system have made this possible. Hawaiian Spirulina has been extensively analyzed by molecular biologists at the University of Hawaii who identified unique enzymes not previously found in other strains of spirulina platensis.
