Whats Phycocyanin?
Blue Spirulina Phycocyanin is a water-soluble natural blue pigment, which is primarily extracted and purified from spirulina. As a key auxiliary pigment in algal photosynthesis, it not only exhibits a bright jewel-like blue color but also possesses extremely high bioactivity. In the global market, it is widely recognized as a raw material with dual attributes: a "natural blue food coloring" and a "functional bioactive ingredient". Thanks to its dual attributes, now it has penetrated multiple fields including food, health products, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
As a phycobiliprotein, Lonierherb phycocyanin exhibits typical properties of protein-like substances: soluble in water but insoluble in alcohols and oils. It is unstable to heat, light, and acids, while remaining stable under weakly acidic to neutral conditions (pH 4.5~8). Precipitation occurs when the pH is ≤4.2 (acidic environment), and decolorization will result under strongly alkaline conditions.
Based on the color value under specific testing conditions, we currently offer different products to meet the needs of different application scenarios, such as: E3, E6, E18, E25, and E30.

Good comments

What is phycocyanin benefits ?
1) Powerful Antioxidant Activity
Its ability to scavenge free radicals far exceeds that of vitamin C and vitamin E, effectively reducing oxidative damage to cells. Meanwhile, it can synergize with other antioxidants to enhance the body's antioxidant defense system.
2) Anti-Inflammatory Properties
Inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6) and suppresses the activation of NF-κB signaling pathway, alleviating chronic inflammation.
3) Immune System Modulation
Phycocyanin powder can stimulate the proliferation and activity of immune cells , enhancing the body's ability to resist infections and pathogens.
4) Hepatoprotective Effects
Reduces liver damage caused by toxins (e.g., alcohol, drugs, heavy metals) by promoting hepatocyte regeneration and inhibiting hepatic fibrosis.
5) Neuroprotective Potential
Crosses the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to scavenge free radicals in the central nervous system, reducing neuronal damage.
6) Nutritional & Functional Applications
blue spirulina phycocyanin powder is rich in amino acids (e.g., lysine, arginine), vitamins (e.g., B12, beta-carotene), and minerals (e.g., iron, selenium), serving as a high-quality nutritional supplement.
What is main Application ?
- Food & Beverage: Recommended concentration depends on the desired color intensity and product formulation.

- Cosmetics: Add to formulations considering pH and light exposure for color stability.

- Supplements: Typically used in capsule or tablet formulations; check compatibility with excipients.
