Phycocyanin (Spirulina extract)
Phycocyanin is a natural blue edible pigment extracted from spirulina by physical methods. It is essentially a protein, and the protein content increases as the color deepens. Phycocyanin is also called spirulina extract and spirulina blue.
Spirulina
Spirulina is a type of blue-green algae widely recognized for its nutritional value. It is often consumed in the form of a powder, which is packed with protein, antioxidants, B vitamins, and various other beneficial nutrients. Harvested from clean water sources, spirulina stands out as a vibrant source of nutrients.
This superfood is predominantly composed of protein and essential amino acids, making it a popular choice for vegetarians due to its high iron content, which is crucial for this dietary group.
The dense protein and iron content in spirulina also make it a beneficial supplement for pregnant women, post-surgery recovery, and any time there's a need to strengthen the immune system.
Chlorella
orella is a single-celled green algae that thrives in freshwater environments and is valued for its dense nutritional profile, which includes a rich array of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and antioxidants. It is recognized for its potential to reduce heart disease risk factors, such as lowering LDL cholesterol and blood pressure, and for its capacity to boost the body's antioxidant levels with compounds like lutein and zeaxanthin . Chlorella's cell walls must be cracked to make it digestible and to avoid photosensitivity, a process clearly indicated on products as "open-cell" or "cracked cell" . Despite being nutritional powerhouses, both chlorella and spirulina offer a unique set of benefits, with chlorella having a slight edge in certain nutrients like iron, omega-3, and zinc .
