Product Overview
Phycocyanin is a natural blue pigment-protein complex extracted from Arthrospira platensis (Spirulina). It is one of the rarest natural blue pigments in the world, prized for both its vibrant color and its role as a powerful antioxidant protein.
SRBio Phycocyanin redefines industry standards through patented cold-extraction technology. By delivering a high-purity powder with a minimum E18.5 color value, we provide global food, cosmetic, and supplement brands with a stable, allergen-free, and clean-label solution for premium formulations.
