The phycocyanin,or blue spirulina, is a pigment-protein found in cyanobacteria, principally spirulina, to which it gives its bluish hue. It plays a key role in photosynthesis, efficiently capturing light energy.
Composed ofα-phycocyanin and β-phycocyanin,it contains chromophores capable of absorbing blue and red light, giving it its intense blue color and purple fluorescence. These subunits assemble into phycobilisomes.These are veritable antennae that capture and transfer solar energy.
Isolated from spirulina, phycocyanin is used for its unique properties, notably in the food industry and biotechnology research.
Phycocyanin, a phytonutrient found in spirulina, is recognized as a a powerful immune system stimulant. The scientific committee (around 2000 publications on spirulina and 900 on phycocyanin to date) has highlighted that phycocyanin alone was responsible for many of the effects attributed to spirulina. Studies have also shown that extraction of the molecule made it infinitely more efficient (see phycocyanin absorption).
It would be 6000 to 7000 times more effective than spirulina.
What's more, phycocyanin is very well tolerated and does not cause the discomfort that some people sometimes experience with spirulina.
Its properties immunomodulator and its micro-nutritional virtues support weakened, sick and convalescent people.

Scientists have accepted the very likely hypothesis that phycocyanine is the basis for the evolution of life on earth.
En effet, la phycocyanine serait l’une des premières molécules à avoir permis la photosynthèse en captant la lumière du soleil.
It is therefore said to have made air compatible with life by bringing it oxygen over 3 billion years ago...
What's even more fascinating, schematically speaking, is that it's always phycocyanin, which is thought to be the basis for the appearance of plants and animals/humans on Earth.
In fact, 1.5 billion years ago, when cells first appeared, it gave rise to chlorophyll by integrating a magnesium atom into its structure! And even crazier still, by capturing iron, it gave rise to hemoglobin, the characteristic and fundamental element of blood.
Phycocyanin is the only plant molecule to have both a magnesium and an iron core!
A single atom differentiates phycocyanin (blue) from chlorophyll (green) and hemoglobin (red)!
The phycocyanin, is a natural blue pigment belonging to the phycobiliproteins. Extracted mainly from the spirulinaA micro-algae, it plays a key role in photosynthesis, capturing sunlight and converting it into energy.
Used in dietary supplements for its benefits, phycocyanin comes in a variety of forms: liquid, freeze-dried or heated powder, and capsules. Visit freeze-dried phycocyanin is particularly sought-after for its stability, high concentration of active ingredients and cold-drying process, which preserves its properties.
In a nutshellphycocyanin is particularly beneficial for the immune system. Its freeze-dried form allows optimum absorption by the body, making it a key ingredient in natural health and wellness products.
PHYCO-LYO®. is an ultra-pure extract of phycocyanin,, cold freeze-dried to ensure maximum purity (purity index 2.82 - medical grade) and a exceptional stability.
The freeze-dried phycocyanin is obtained by spirulina extractionfollowed by a cold drying (freeze-drying). This process effectively preserves its active properties, while improving its stability and shelf life.
The phycocyanin, is a protein pigmentary present in spirulinabut when consumed in raw form (i.e. in the spriulin), it is not not easily assimilated by the body. Here's why:
In short, the phycocyanin present in raw spirulina is bound to other proteins, rendering its absorption ineffective. Freeze-dried phycocyanin enhances the assimilation and therefore the efficacy of this powerful nutrient.
The spirulina and the phycocyanin, are often associated, but they represent distinct elements with specific properties.
Spirulina is a blue-green microalgaerecognized as a superfood for its rich nutrient content. It contains complete proteins, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, offering a wide range of benefits to support energy, boost the immune system and promote overall good health.
Phycocyaninon the other hand, is a blue pigment specific, spirulina extract. This is one of its most powerful active components, responsible for its beneficial properties. Unlike the phycocyanin present in raw spirulina, extracted phycocyanin is highly concentrated and directly assimilated by the body, maximizing its effectiveness.

Phycocyanin is a particularly well-suited supplement for athletes, offering numerous benefits that can greatly enhance their performance, recovery and general well-being. Here's why it stands out:
Phycocyanin is a powerful antioxidant capable of neutralizing the free radicals produced during intense physical effort. These free radicals, when in excess, can cause oxidative damage to cells, limiting endurance and performance. By reducing this oxidative stress, phycocyanin helps maintain constant energy levels and improve endurance over the long term.
After intensive training, muscles need to repair and strengthen. Phycocyanin promotes faster, more effective recovery, reducing inflammation and helping to repair damaged muscle tissue, so you can resume training more quickly and without the risk of overexertion.
Athletes who train intensively can find their immune systems weakened by physical stress. Phycocyanin is a powerful immune system stimulant, strengthening the body's natural defenses. This helps prevent infections and maintain an uninterrupted training routine, enabling the body to better protect itself.
In a nutshell:
Phycocyanin is a valuable ally for athletes, offering comprehensive support to improve endurance, speed recovery and strengthen the immune system. These benefits make it the food supplement of choice for anyone seeking to maximize their sporting performance while taking care of their health.
