Phycocyanin is a rare blue-spectrum pigment isolated from spirulina — prized for its potent antioxidant activity and support for immune health, cardiovascular health, liver, kidneys, and nervous system function.
Why
Not all spirulina products are equal. Phycocyanin is the active blue pigment within spirulina responsible for much of its health-supporting activity — and in isolated powder form, you get a concentrated dose without the green taste of whole spirulina. Studies have shown phycocyanin can support healthy cholesterol levels and normal lymphocyte activity, making it one of the most researched natural compounds for immune and cardiovascular health. It also provides antioxidants for cellular health and supports healthy liver, kidney, and nervous system function. At just ½ metric teaspoon (1g) per day, it’s a simple, effective addition to water, juice, or smoothies.
