The natural blue, documented.
Phycocyanin-rich spirulina extract in four grades. Batch-consistent color value, full specifications online, COA with every order.
Phycocyanin is the blue pigment-protein complex found in spirulina. Extracted and graded, it is the leading natural alternative to synthetic blue colorants in food, beverage, nutraceutical, and cosmetic formulations.
