Organic Phycocyanin Powder/Blue Spirulina Powder
Organic Phycocyanin Powder, also called Blue Spirulina Powder or Spirulina Phycocyanin Extract, is a natural blue pigment protein extracted from spirulina (Arthrospira platensis). Its key active compound, phycocyanin, is a water-soluble phycobiliprotein known for its antioxidant activity and characteristic bright blue color, making it widely used in dietary supplements, functional beverages, gummies, and natural food coloring applications.
As the demand for clean-label and plant-based ingredients continues to grow, blue spirulina has become one of the most popular natural alternatives to synthetic blue dyes in the global functional food market.
Because phycocyanin is sensitive to heat and processing conditions, extraction technology plays a critical role in maintaining its color value and activity. Our Organic Blue Spirulina Powder is produced with controlled extraction processes to preserve high phycocyanin content, vibrant blue color, and good water solubility, making it suitable for beverage powders, nutrition blends, and finished formulations.
We also support customized supply and OEM formulation development, helping brands integrate phycocyanin / blue spirulina into supplements, drink mixes, and functional foods with stable performance and consistent ingredient quality.
