Phycocyanin, the main active ingredient in spirulina
The phycocyanin is the main blue pigment present in spirulina and therefore has all its benefits.
No wonder when you look at the composition of this pigment more closely. We then discover:
-
a large amount of vegetable protein,
-
essential amino acids,
-
a multitude of minerals such as iron and zinc,
-
essential fatty acids,
-
many vitamins of group B,
-
as well as fat soluble antioxidants like vitamin E and carotenoids.
The benefits of phycocyanin on the body are therefore many and varied:
-
Extremely rich in micronutrients and macronutrients , this supplement also contains high levels of highly bioavailable proteins (60 to 70%).
-
Rich in carotenoids , it has a similar action, or even more powerful than that of vitamin C.
-
Iron, unsaturated fatty acids and the chlorophyll it contains are real allies that help to slow down aging and provide good nutritional benefits to athletes.
-
It can be used as an effective aid when the aim is to detoxify heavy metals (1) since it contributes very effectively to reducing the toxicity of chemicals. It is advisable to systematically combine it in the event of taking chemicals. The polysaccharides of spirulina and phycocyanin have the ability to fix toxins and drive them out of the body, which will prevent them from being deposited in the tissues and disrupting their functioning.
-
It helps to form a shield protecting cells, among other things, against aggressive molecules such as free radicals. Unlike some chemical molecules, it is devoid of unwanted and annoying effects.
-
It can help in case of weakness or excess of the natural defense system. Associated with Moducare , it will provide protection and regulation . -
It contributes to the fluidity of circulating fluids as well as to the regulation of cholesterol levels.
-
It supports and protects in a preventive way all the functions of the body.
-
Phycocyanin helps maintain good energy and vitality , so it can be recommended in cases of fatigue, lack of iron, or recovery after intensive physical efforts.
-
Remember that the active ingredients (minerals, vitamins, trace elements, proteins and fatty acids) extracted from algae are generally extremely bioavailable for the human body .
The production of phycocyanin, an essential process
The phycocyanin used in Phycosens is extracted from fresh spirulina and not from powdered spirulina because the drying process required to obtain it destroys part of the active ingredients of the algae.
In our 21st century environment, air, water and soil are increasingly polluted and damaged. To avoid the inevitable degradation of spirulina if it was cultivated in outdoor tanks, we decided to cultivate it in photo-bioreactors under closely controlled conditions (pH, light, temperature, microbiological safety, etc.). In addition, we use a special cultivation method to obtain healthy spirulina, rich in active ingredients and extremely concentrated in phycocyanin.
This special process allows us to extract a phycocyanin more concentrated than the average (3gr / liter) and in liquid form which has significantly greater health benefits than the dehydrated forms used in most cases (tablets, powder, capsules ).
Phycocyanin seems 6000 to 7000 times more active than Spirulina itself and 20 times more powerful than vitamin C. Phycocyanin -based phycosens constitutes a real " treasure for well-being " and a food supplement with multiple and powerful effects .
The different actions of phycocyanin on health
The preventive, protective and antioxidant properties of phycocyanin contribute to general well-being. This food supplement can be recommended for all, and this, whatever the state of health and it can be associated with other natural products as well as with an intake of chemical molecules. The phycoc yanine proved very effective face many problems and current problems, but also more advanced.
The action of phycocyanin on blood fluidity
Phycocyanin optimizes the formation as well as the transport and oxygenation of white and red blood cells. But contrary to what one might think, even administered in high doses, it will not cause saturation of white or red blood cells in the blood nor an overproduction of blood platelets or hormones.
Other similar patterns are also noted. Phycocyanin activates the production of ATP, a nucleotide providing cellular energy to the body, without negatively influencing sleep. On the contrary, it even helps to regulate it.
According to recent studies on a placebo group, the results of phycocyanin intake are already being felt after two weeks of treatment.
Between 0.25 g and 1 g, it can effectively relieve chronic pain.
At a rate of 1g per day, it could therefore act on several levels.
-
reduce inflammatory disorders associated with physical exercise,
-
prevent neurodegenerative disorders,
-
help relieve arteriosclerosis and its effects,
-
thin the blood flow (no evidence regarding blood pressure),
-
in case of heavy consumption, it also has an impact on the prevention of kidney stones.
Indeed, some people have been able to take up to 2.5 g of phycocyanin per day and in these cases, the excess passes through the digestive system on which it acts and is then eliminated in the urine.
Even beyond this 2.5g dose, researchers believe that phycocyanin is still not toxic to the body, although this has not yet been proven.
In general, it would therefore seem that Phycocyanin promotes not so much the population of red / white blood cells, as their regulation. And its blood thinning action does not have the same drawbacks as that of a traditional medicine such as aspirin.
The action of phycocyanin on the liver
Detoxifying and hepatoprotective, phycocyanin helps the body to get rid of the toxins that compose it. Chemicals are numerous in our life, both in the air and in food, natural detoxification is necessary several times a year. For this, an action on the liver seems to be a priority. In the case of phycocyanin, it binds to bile acids to act significantly on increasing the fecal excretion of cholesterol and bile acids.
For a detoxification of the body of heavy metals, phycocyanin has an undeniable chelating capacity. Therefore, by attaching to the polysaccharides of phycocyanin, heavy metals are easily eliminated from the body.
The action of phycocyanin on the immune system
The phycocyanin is an immune modulator. It is said to be immunomodulatory . As a result, it decreases and considerably eliminates allergic type inflammations. Taking it in no way affects stomach function. Indeed, even taken over the long term, phycocyanin does not damage the stomach.
It also helps the body to activate its immune defenses.
The antioxidant action of phycocyanin to fight against stress
The body is constantly fighting against the effects of free radicals which cause oxidation phenomenon inside the human body. The natural antioxidants decreases with age, while limiting this internal battle against cell aging . Phycocyanin is a perfect food supplement to maintain good anti-free radical health. This food supplement is ideal in case of oxidative stress.
The action of phycocyanin on diabetes
The phycocyanin helps reduce sugar levels in the blood . Therefore, type 2 diabetics see this blue gold as a quality accompaniment. Indeed, phycocyanin would also fight against the complications related to this disease.
The action of phycocyanin on the thyroid
The phycocyanin is a new hope for all people suffering from thyroid disease . Both for hypo, for hyperthyroidism, or autoimmune forms called Hashimoto, phycocyanin is more than recommended against thyroid disorders .
Thus, researchers have discovered that the different active ingredients present in phycocyanin provide it with excellent results in the thyroid .
On the one hand by regulating the activity of the gland, but also by detoxifying the organism from heavy metal residues absorbed in large quantities by organisms. These residues can have unfortunate consequences on the proper functioning of the thyroid.
In addition, phycocyanin helps prevent and eliminate the consequences of synthetic hormones administered in medical treatments. Not to mention that it promotes the production of T lymphocytes.
In Hashimoto's disease, its action on the immune system , in combination with moducare, could help the patient to feel better on a daily basis.
The action of phycocyanin on the heart
The phycocyanin contributes to cardiovascular health . Therefore, it prevents diseases related to the heart. Anti cholesterol and anticoagulant, it prevents the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Its action is obviously preventive.
The antiviral action of phycocyanin
Associated with spirulina, phycocyanin acts effectively against the viruses that it inhibits. In addition, its power prevents the replication of the AIDS virus.
The action of phycocyanin on the kidneys
A cure of phycocyanin would prevent the appearance of kidney stones for people who are sensitive to it. In addition, its overall detoxifying action would help the kidneys to get rid of all organic toxicity, such as traces of mercury or any other drug.
The action of phycocyanin on leukemia and cancer
The phycocyanin helps stop the proliferation of dangerous cells to the body. It is said to be a potent inhibitor of cell growth. Therefore, it would be a hope for the future. In addition, the phycocyanin allows to improve enzyme activity at the cellular level , while repairing DNA.
Undeniably effective, phycocyanin , this blue pigment from seaweed, is the food supplement of the future. Picked in extraordinary environments (thermal cures at over 70 degrees, polar zones, etc.), its various actions on health make this molecule a real therapeutic gem.{show-else}Please
