EARTHRISE SPIRULINA NATURAL® VEGETARIAN CAPSULES ARE BACK

IRVINE, CA – Earthrise Nutritionals LLC, U.S. producer of Spirulina and Spirulina- based products for over 25 years, has reintroduced Vegetarian Capsules to its product line. Due to popular demand, Earthrise is scheduled to launch Spirulina Natural®  in vegetarian capsules June 2007. 

Earthrise has offered Spirulina Natural in gelatin capsules for the past two years in addition to its vegetarian-friendly forms of powder and tablet.  Consumer feedback has requested the return of a capsule that is vegetable based and compatible with a vegetarian’s diet.  In response, Earthrise has changed the material of the capsules from gelatin to a cellulose-based vegetarian capsule ensuring that the product is 100 percent free of animal materials, along with being 100 percent pesticide and herbicide free.

“We, as a company, value our customer’s feedback and are happy to meet the specific demand for vegetarian capsules” said Taro Ichimoto, president and CEO
of Earthrise.
