Product Description

Phycocyanin (Blue Spirulina Powder) is a dark blue powder isolated from spirulina. Mainly present in blue-green algae, red algae, and cryptoalgae. Phycocyanin - Blue Spirulina Powder is usually divided into C-phycocyanin and R-phycocyanin. The former mainly exists in blue-green algae, while the latter mainly exists in red algae. Both types are present in cryptoalgae. Its function is to absorb light (orange yellow) energy and transmit light energy. Phycocyanin is one of the rare pigment proteins in nature. It is not only brightly colored, but also a nutrient rich protein with a complete amino acid composition and a high content of essential amino acids. It is not only a protein, but also an excellent natural food coloring, and is also a good health food. Phycocyanin has the effects of anti-cancer, promoting blood cell regeneration, caring for the ovaries, and promoting the synthesis of elastin in the human body.

At the beginning of the 21st century, phycocyanin was widely used as a high-grade natural pigment in food and cosmetics in countries such as Europe, America, and Japan, and was made into biochemical drugs. In 1986, the Confident Phycocyanin, developed by the Kangpai AIDS Research Institute in Japan and produced by CONFIDENCE Algae Nutrition Food Company, was used as a rehabilitation drug and nutritional food for cancer patients, leukemia patients, etc., and achieved outstanding cooperative efficacy.

Production Process

The algal body is obtained by aerating the spores of Gynostemma laticellata of Spirochaeta at pH 8.5~11 in the medium with carbonate or carbon dioxide as the carbon source at 30~35 ℃. After drying, the pigment and soluble protein in the algal body are extracted with water. The extract is concentrated in vacuum and dried by spray.

Physiological Function

Phycocyanin - Blue Spirulina Powder can help regulate and synthesize various important enzymes required for human metabolism, play an important role in inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, promoting cell regeneration, maintaining the ovaries, and promoting the synthesis of elastin in the human body. At the same time, phycocyanin regulates the human immune system, enhances immune system function, and enhances the body's resistance to diseases. Therefore, phycocyanin is vividly praised by food experts as a "food diamond". It has good effects in the following aspects.
1. Anti cancer cells, anti-tumor.
Phycocyanin - Blue Spirulina Powder has been shown to inhibit cancer cell expansion. Scientists have found that phycocyanin has a significant inhibitory effect on cancer cells. It can be made into adjuvant therapy drugs for anti-tumor, and adjuvant therapy for chemotherapy can enhance the body's immune system. In a scientific experiment, feeding rats with liver cancer with extracted phycocyanin found that the survival rate of rats fed with phycocyanin was much higher than that of the control group. After 5 weeks, 90% of rats in the treatment group survived, while only 25% of rats in the untreated group survived. After 8 weeks, 25% of rats in the treatment group survived, and all rats in the untreated group died. This indicates that oral phycocyanin can improve the survival rate of organisms with cancer.
2. Antioxidant and free radical scavenging.
Phycocyanin - Blue Spirulina Powder can promote cell activity, eliminate free radicals in the body, improve ovarian function, and promote rapid synthesis of elastin in the human body. According to scientific research, phycocyanin has the ability to stimulate red blood cell colony formation, similar to the action of erythropoietin (epo); Can adjust white blood cells and enhance lymphocyte activity; Increasing physical fitness, promoting red blood cell growth, can enhance the body's immune function, and promote growth and development.
3. Anti allergy
On January 7th, a research team from Taiwan University released new research results, which found that purified phycocyanin has an inhibitory effect on all allergies.
Another function of phycocyanin is as a fluorescent agent.

Application

The application research of Phycocyanin - Blue Spirulina Powder is very extensive, which can be summarized in the following aspects:
(1) Natural Pigment: Phycocyanin is a water-soluble pigment, non-toxic, pure blue, clear and cute, and can be used as an additive in food coloring and cosmetics.
(2) Health Supplement: Phycocyanin in vitro experiments have the effect of stimulating red blood cell colony formation, similar to erythropoietin (EPO). A variety of phycocyanin compound drugs have been successfully developed abroad. The Japanese Kangpai AIDS Research Institute has successfully reported that phycocyanin can improve anemia and hemoglobin. In 1982, Iijima et al. studied the effect of oral phycocyanin on the survival rate of mice injected with liver tumor cells, and found that the lymphocyte activity in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group. They believed that this protein has the function of promoting immunity and anti disease. In 1986, Schwartz and Shklar from Harvard Hospital in the United States discovered that spirulina phycocyanin had an inhibitory effect on some cancer cells.
(3) A special reagent for biological, chemical, and cytological experiments: phycocyanin blue with fluorescence, can be used as a research reagent for some photodynamic studies in biology and cytology.
