Phycocyanin is one of the major pigment constituents of Spirulina, a Microalgae used in many countries as dietary supplement whose nutritional and therapeutic values have been very well documented. Phycocyanin is a blue colored natural pigment that belongs to the class of Phycobilli proteins found in Blue-Green algae. It is extracted from spirulina, widely used in food, & cosmetics, less used pharmacy (fluoresce).

Applications and Health Benefits of Phycocyanin
   Phycocyanin has found numerous applications in the pharmaceutical and food & beverage industry. It is used primarily in the latter as a natural coloring agent
  Consumption of phycocyanin in the form of spirulina or supplement leads to optimal health. In the current situation where the environment is full of toxins from pollution from oil, gas, heavy metals and nuclear isotopes, consumption of spirulina/phycocyanin is more than required.
