BINMEI, global leader in blue spirulina

Phycocyanin is a dark blue powder with rich nutrients extracted from Spirulina. Because Spirulina is rich in nutrients, including protein, B complex vitamins, β- Carotene, vitamin E, as well as essential minerals and fatty acids, phycocyanin extracted from Spirulina has also been proved to hold the same nutritional value by some studies. Phycocyanin is not only a kind of protein but also an excellent natural edible pigment and health food.

Health Benefits of Phycocyanin

Some research has shown that phycocyanin possesses a bunch of overwhelming benefits to the human body. Some of them are as follows:

• High in nutrients

In 1974, spirulina was declared as “the best food of the future” by the World Health Organization to fight malnutrition, especially for children. Many cases of malnutrition are caused by a lack of protein. However, due to the reason that Phycocyanin as a kind of plant protein and dietary supplement contains many kinds of essential amino acids (essential amino acids account for 37.2% of the total amino acids of the human body) and high protein content, it has been paid more and more attention by vegetarians and clinical research activities.

• Antioxidation and anti-inflammation

Oxidation is a process of biochemical reactions, which may damage our cells and tissues, leading to inflammation, and even increasing the risk of chronic diseases including cardiovascular diseases. Some of the antioxidants our body requires are mainly vitamins C and E, β- Carotene, and plant nutrients, which are what phycocyanin carries with it. Therefore, phycocyanin equips with a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ability to balance blood lipids and maintain healthy blood pressure.

• Anti-cancer and enhance immunity

Spirulina and its phytonutrients have been proved to have powerful capability of anti-cancer for the reason that spirulina’s powerful blue pigment C-phycocyanin and its polysaccharide increase the production of leukocyte (the cells of the immune system). It means that phycocyanin can enhance the phagocytic activity of macrophages and leukocyte against the pathogens and early cancer cells, thereby enhancing immunity and protecting various cells from damage and virus infection

Apart from the above health benefits, phycocyanin is also conducive to alleviate allergic rhinitis, prevent anemia and improve muscle strength and endurance. At the beginning of the 21st century, increasing numbers of countries in Europe, America, and Asia have given their seal of approval to phycocyanin as high-grade natural pigment in food and cosmetics and to make it into biochemical drugs.
