Benfits
Benefits of Natural Blue Spirulina:
- The antioxidants in phycocyanin may have the ability to inhibit the key enzyme that is responsible for causing inflammation, pain, and discomfort.
- Help regulate and synthesize a variety of important enzymes needed by human metabolism.
- Play an important role in inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, promoting the regeneration of human cells, maintaining the ovary, and promoting the synthesis of elastin in the human body.
- At the same time, phycocyanin regulates the human immune system, enhances the function of the immune system, and improves the human body's resistance to diseases.

What's the difference between E10, E18, M18, E25, and spirulina liquid extract?
- The color value, ingredient and content of phycocyanin varied with the type of phycocyanin. The larger the number, the higher the color value, the higher the content of phycocyanin, and the less other ingredients.
- For example: phycocyanin E18, color value 180, ingredients: 30% trehalose, 5% sodium citrate.
- The difference between E18 and M18: E18 ingredients: 30% trehalose; M18 ingredients: 30% maltodextrin.
- E18 is the most widely used specification in the world, with high-cost performance and excellent solubility, which is our most recommended specification.
- E10 and E18 are suitable to be added to food, and E25 can be used for medical and nutritional care.
- E10, E18, M18, E25, E30 are in the form of powder. Phycocyanin can be preserved for several years.
- Spirulina liquid extract is a kind of blue honey-like liquid, which dissolves quickly, avoids dust flying and is more convenient to use.
Purity of phycocyanin
- The quality and purity of phycocyanin in solution are obtained by measuring the absorption ration at approximately 618+5nm to absorption at approximately 280nm.
- 618±5nm:maximum absorption wavelength of phycocyanin.
- 280nm: maximum absorption wavelength of interfering compounds.
- The higher the ratio, the purer the phycocyanin. We use labels such as E18, E25 to distinguish phycocyanin with different purity. The higher the number, the higher the concentration of phycocyanin.
