Lifestream is a New Zealand wholefood-supplement brand specialising in green algae and grasses. The range we stock is built on organically grown spirulina, chlorella, barley and wheat grass, and biogenic aloe vera — concentrated whole foods rather than isolated nutrients, processed to protect their living activity.

Spirulina and chlorella — the green algae at the core

Spirulina is Lifestream's flagship. It is a blue-green algae exceptionally rich in protein, chlorophyll and a blue pigment called phycocyanin (concentrated in the Blue Extra line), which is studied as an antioxidant. Chlorella is a green single-celled algae whose tough cell wall — which Lifestream cracks to make the nutrients available — is associated with its traditional use in binding and detoxification support. Both are nutrient-dense whole foods rather than extracts, which is why they appear in tablet, powder and capsule forms across the range.

Grasses, greens and biogenic aloe

The organic barley and wheat grass powders supply chlorophyll and a broad spread of naturally occurring vitamins and minerals, and feature in the Greens Daily and Super blends. The Aloe Vera Biogenic juice is a signature product — "biogenic" refers to Lifestream's cold process that aims to preserve the plant's active compounds, used traditionally to soothe and support digestion. Fibre Biotics, Flax and Beauty Biotics round out the range with gut and skin support, and the acerola vitamin C adds a wholefood source of vitamin C.

Who the range may suit

Lifestream suits people who prefer wholefood greens and algae over synthetic multivitamins — those wanting an everyday nutrient-dense green, support for detoxification routines, or a plant-based protein and chlorophyll boost. Vegans and vegetarians are well served.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy Lifestream online in Australia?
You can order the Lifestream range — spirulina, chlorella, the grasses, greens blends and biogenic aloe — here from Health Freek, a naturopath-owned Australian stockist.

What is the difference between spirulina and chlorella?
Spirulina is a blue-green algae prized for protein, chlorophyll and the antioxidant pigment phycocyanin; chlorella is a green algae whose cracked cell wall is associated with binding and detox support. Many people take them together for complementary benefits.

What does "biogenic" aloe vera mean?
It refers to Lifestream's cold processing that aims to keep the aloe's naturally occurring active compounds intact, rather than the heat-treated juice common elsewhere. Aloe is traditionally used to soothe and support the digestive tract.
