Neoalgae - Blue Green Algae Extract - Phycocyanin
Dehydrated powder blue-green product composed exclusively of an extract from Arthrospira platensis (Spirulina). A. platensis is a unicellular cyanobacterium. They are united between them forming multicellular filaments that are rolled in propulsion levógira. Its cultivation is done in brackish water (with a small percentage of salt). Phycocyanin is a protein that is extracted from blue-green algae, and has antioxidant properties. It is a pigment accessory to chlorophyll, is part of the phycobiliproteins that participate in the energy transfer chain of photosynthesis, and are responsible for approximately 50% of light uptake in cyanobacteria such as Spirulina.
Phycocyanin is a natural antioxidant extracted from Spirulina. In addition it has demonstrated in several experimental models anti-inflammatory effects and reduction of the damage in the inflamed tissue.
This protein also exerts healing effects on skin wounds.
