What Is Spirulina Extract Phycocyanin?

The product is C-Phycocyanin (C-PC), a natural blue pigment-protein complex isolated from spirulina microalgae. It is one of the most potent plant-based colourants that nature has to offer, making up 10-18% of the composition of spirulina.

This superfood ingredient responds to the increasing market need for alternatives to synthetic dyes. Our phycocyanin imparts a stunning sapphire-blue colour, with functional health advantages, unlike fake FD&C Blue No. 1.

The inherent antioxidant capabilities and the profile of key amino acids are preserved in the extraction process. You have both the aesthetic and the nutritious benefits in one ingredient.
