Phycocyanin is an intracellular protein extracted from spirulina. It is isolated by breaking down spirulina cells and precipitating them. Due to its blue color after extraction, it is called phycocyanin.
It is a pure natural edible and harmless pigment, and is the only sky blue pigment allowed by the US FDA. Both the US FDA and the EU do not limit its usage, so it can be safely consumed.
Of course, phycocyanin not only has the function of a pure natural pigment, but spirulina itself is rich in protein, including eight essential amino acids for the human body, making it an excellent protein supplement.
In recent years, more and more scientists have discovered the nutritional value of spirulina, making it known as the “most ideal food of the 21st century”. As an extract from spirulina, phycocyanin also has rich nutritional value.
Due to its complete amino acid composition and rich protein content, consuming phycocyanin is highly beneficial for the human body. Phycocyanin can increase lymphocyte activity, enhance the body’s immunity through the lymphatic system, and strengthen the body’s ability to prevent and resist diseases.
It can improve anemia, such as meat and animal organs that can supplement iron. Their rich hemoglobin can be directly absorbed by the human body, while non hemoglobin is difficult to absorb by the human body. It needs to be separated first and then reduced to divalent iron before it can be absorbed, so the absorption rate is very low. Phycocyanin can form soluble compounds with iron, increasing the body’s absorption of iron.
It also has antioxidant properties and can clear a series of toxic free radicals such as superoxide and hydroperoxide groups, making it effective in combating oxidative stress, fatigue, or insomnia.
So if you have a lot of work pressure and long-term high pressure leads to sub-health problems such as insomnia and hair loss, you can supplement phycocyanin, which is an ideal food that meets the needs of modern people. Due to its low calorie and high nutrient characteristics, spirulina has also been used in meal replacement bars in recent years, providing high nutrient and low calorie meal replacement products for those who love beauty and pursue healthy weight loss.
