Phycocyanin Powder, More Healthy, More Effective, and More Favored Health Food Raw Material

Spirulina extract is from edible spirulina and the main active ingredient is the dark blue powder phycocyanin with special fragrance. It is a protein, an excellent natural food color, and also a good health food. General specification of spirulina extract (phycocyanin): 99%. Color value: E18.

Property:

It has the property of protein with good water solubility and it is insoluble in alcohol and grease.

Production process:

Spirulina, belonging to one type of cyanophyta spirulina, is a multi-cell filamentous nitrogen fixation blue-green algae. It is known for the spiral frond. Spirulina mainly lives in oceans and lakes. And the ingredient phycocyanin mainly exists in blue-gree algae, red alga, and cryptomonas. Phycocyanin powder, the only pure natural blue pigment recognized by the US FDA, is widely used in food and cosmetics industry. It is not only a scarce chromoprotein in bright color, but also a nutrient-rich protein with complete amino acid composition and high amino acid content.

Main efficiency:

1. Anti-cancer cells, anti-tumor.

Phycocyanin powder has been proved to inhibit cancer cell expansion. Scientists have found that phycocyanin powder can significantly inhibit cancer cells. It can be made into anti-tumor adjuvant therapy drugs for the adjuvant therapy of chemotherapy. Scientific experiments have shown that peroral phycocyanin can improve the survival rate of creatures with cancer.

2. Anti-oxidation, scavenging free radicals.

Phycocyanin powder can promote cell activity, remove free radicals in the body, improve ovarian function, and promote rapid synthesis of elastin. According to scientific research, phycocyanin powder has the role of stimulating erythrocyte colony formation. It can adjust the role of white blood cells and improve lymphocyte activity, increase physical fitness, promote erythrocyte growth, enhance the immune function, and promote growth development.

3. Anti-allergy

According to the report dated January 7, 2011, Taiwan University research team found that purified phycocyanin powder has an inhibitory effect on all allergies. It can significantly reduce the respiratory tract inflammatory cells and improve allergic asthma without side effects of steroids.

4. Fluorescent agent
