Food Grade Blue Spirulina Powder with Nutrient-Rich Phycocyanin Benefits
Product Description
Phycocyanin is an exquisite pigment belonging to the light-harvesting phycobiliprotein family, along with allophycocyanin and phycoerythrin. This captivating blue hue serves as an accessory pigment to chlorophyll. All phycobiliproteins are inherently water-soluble, which distinguishes them from membrane-bound carotenoids. Instead, they form clusters known as phycobilisomes that elegantly adhere to the membrane.

Phycocyanin is the striking bluish pigment utilized by blue-green algae, or cyanobacteria, for photosynthesis.
It constitutes up to 20% of the protein content in cyanobacteria, attaching itself to photosynthesizing membranes.
This pigment acts as a nitrogen-storing molecule. Notably, it contains no metal, showcasing itself as a remarkably stable protein.
Phycocyanin is also potent as an antioxidant, adeptly scavenging OH and RO radicals. Furthermore, it demonstrates
anti-inflammatory properties comparable to some NSAIDs, and shows promising effects in liver microsomal lipid peroxidation.
Pigments derived from phycocyanin, such as C-phycocyanin and Allophycocyanin, exhibit fluorescent properties that are
invaluable to researchers for use in immunoassay kits. Phycocyanin's selective cell attachment simplifies tracking processes.
This pigment is also employed as a natural coloring agent in biological research, as well as in foods and cosmetics, valued for its safety.
