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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePotent antioxidant activity — supports cellular health\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports immune system health and normal lymphocyte activity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports healthy cholesterol levels and cardiovascular health\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports healthy liver, kidney, and nervous system function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports brain health\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcentrated blue-spectrum pigment isolated from spirulina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100 serves per container\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFormula Highlights\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlue Spirulina Powder (Phycocyanin) — 1g per serve\u003c\/strong\u003e — the active blue pigment isolated from spirulina; a potent antioxidant with well-researched immune, cardiovascular, and neuroprotective properties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrehalose\u003c\/strong\u003e — a natural disaccharide used as a stabiliser to preserve the integrity and bioactivity of the phycocyanin pigment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCitric Acid\u003c\/strong\u003e — a natural preservative that helps maintain product stability and freshness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSupplement Facts\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServing Size: 1g (½ metric teaspoon) | Servings Per Container: 100\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eActive Ingredient\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStrength\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAmount Per Serving\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue Spirulina Powder (Phycocyanin)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSuggested Use\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake ½ metric teaspoon (1g) per day.
