What Are The Benefits Of Phycocyanin Powder？

Phycocyanin-or will become a new choice for diabetes

What is Phycocyanin Powder?

Organic Phycocyanin Powder is a blue powder isolated from spirulina. It mainly exists in cyanobacteria, red algae and shade algae species in large quantities. It belongs to protein-binding pigments. It has the same properties as proteins. It is stable under weak acidity and neutrality (pH4.5~8), precipitates in acidity (pH4.2), and can be decolorized by strong alkali.

Phycocyanin powder is a kind of natural blue protein and natural food coloring. It is not only bright in color, but also a kind of nutrient-rich protein itself. It has the functions of anti-tumor, promoting blood cell regeneration, protecting female ovaries, and promoting the synthesis of collagen. At the beginning of the 21st century, in Europe, America, Japan and other countries, phycocyanin has been widely used as a high-grade natural additive in the field of food and cosmetics, and may become a pharmaceutical agent for treating diabetes, preventing cancer and leukemia in the future. Next, let's learn more about phycocyanin!

Will Phycocyanin Powder Treat Diabetes?

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by chronic hyperglycemia caused by multiple etiologies. Long-term metabolic disorders of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins may cause damage to multiple systems in the body, leading to chronic diseases, functional decline, and failure of the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, blood vessels, and other tissues and organs. In severe cases, acute severe metabolic disorders, such as diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic syndrome, may occur.
Type 2 diabetes, now the most prevalent form of diabetes, is an innate immune and low-grade inflammatory disease in which cytokines are the main cause of metabolic syndrome and inflammation is a trigger of insulin resistance.
A number of research experiments have shown that phycocyanin has a certain preventive effect on diabetes. Phycocyanin is an important active substance in spirulina. Phycocyanin has a similar effect to metformin. It can significantly inhibit the activity of IкB/NFκB pathway in islet cells of diabetic rats and protect insulin cells. The main mechanism is: reduce The phosphorylation and degradation of IκB caused by IKK activation can inhibit the gene transcription mediated by NFκB, reduce the expression of TNFα, IL2, IL6 and other inflammatory factors and the expression of NO catalyzed by NOS, thereby reducing the inflammation of islet cells, lowering blood lipids, and alleviating lipid overload. Oxidation reaction, scavenging free radicals, effectively reducing blood sugar levels in diabetic rats.
The study observed that compared with the model group, the morphological structure of islet secretory cells in the phycocyanin group was greatly improved, and the number of secretory cells increased significantly, especially the increase in β-cells. According to the changes in the number of apoptosis, it is inferred that pure phycocyanin has the effect of protecting insulin cells and can reduce cell apoptosis.
In summary, phycocyanin has a certain therapeutic and preventive effect on type 2 diabetes, so it may become a new main drug or functional food for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in the future.

 

What is phycocyanin good for?

Phycocyanin is an important enzyme that helps regulate and synthesize the locked substances needed for human metabolism. It has many benefits for the body and is called "food brick". The specific functions of phycocyanin are as follows:
1. Anti-tumor effect
Organic phycocyanin can significantly inhibit tumor cells, and as an adjuvant anti-tumor drug, it is used to assist tumor chemotherapy, enhance the body's immunity, block tumor spread, and improve the survival rate of cancerous organisms;
2. Anti-oxidation, scavenging free radicals
Blue spirulina phycocyanin powder can promote cell activity, scavenge free radicals, improve women's warm nest, promote the synthesis of human collagen, stimulate the formation of red blood cell colonies, regulate white blood cells and improve the activity of lymphocytes, promote the growth of red blood cells, and strengthen the body's immunity;
3. Anti-allergic
Purified phycocyanin can inhibit allergic reactions and alleviate various allergic reactions;
4. Improve anemia
Blue spirulina phycocyanin is rich in heme iron, which can improve anemia, replenish blood for the body, and form soluble compounds with iron, which can improve the body's absorption of iron;
5. Spirulina powder phycocyanin also has antioxidant capacity, which can effectively clean up superoxide and peroxide groups, and resist oxidative stress, fatigue and insomnia.

What is Phycocyanin used for?

1. Medicine and health products
Organic phycocyanin has been widely used in compound medicines for improving anemia, suppressing tumors, improving immunity and anti-disease;
2. Special reagents for biology, chemistry and cytology experiments
Phycocyanin is a natural blue pigment with fluorescence, which is often used as a reagent for photodynamic research in biology and cytology;
3. Food and drink
As a natural, healthy and safe food additive, phycocyanin spirulina has been widely used in food and beverages, such as blue enchantress drinks, pastries, desserts, ice cream, condiments, etc. When making food and beverages, phycocyanin can not only provide blue pigment, but also can be matched with other pigments to present a variety of color changes to meet everyone's color needs;
4. Cosmetics
Phycocyanin is also a natural pigment component of major cosmetics, mainly used in the production of lipstick, eye shadow, nail polish, etc.

 

Can phycocyanin protect women's nests?

The answer is yes, mainly in the following aspects:
1. Improve obesity and increase fertility
Female obesity can lead to decreased egg quality, abnormal spindle-chromosomal complex morphology, aneuploidy, and epigenetic changes, increasing the accumulation of reactive oxygen species, and phycocyanin can prevent and treat obesity and improve egg quality , increase the fertility rate;
2. Improve aging ovarian function
The decline of ovarian function will cause the decrease of estrogen secretion, leading to the decline of women's nerve and physical function, and the decline of cells caused by aging will also lead to the decline of female fertility. Natural phycocyanin can help the rapid growth of egg cells, resist ovarian aging, and inhibit The production of ROS reduces apoptosis and improves ovarian function in women;
3. Inhibit the growth of ovarian cancer cells
Ovarian cancer is one of the largest diseases of female reproductive system tumors, and the survival rate in the advanced stage is less than 30%. When the cell cycle of cervical cancer cells (Hela) using phycocyanin was detected by cell technology, it was found that phycocyanin can make Hela Cells transition from S phase, G 2 phase and M phase to DNA synthesis static phase (G1 phase), which shows that it can significantly reduce the DNA synthesis speed in tumor cells and inhibit the growth of Hela cells.

 

Which is better, phycocyanin or synthetic pigments? (Advantages of phycocyanin as a natural color:)​​​​​​​

Compared with synthetic pigments, phycocyanin is safer, natural and non-toxic, as follows:
1. Safety and health: Phycocyanin is a natural protein, similar to human protein, without any toxic side effects, and has great benefits for human health;
2. Environmental protection: Phycocyanin powder is a natural and renewable pigment energy source. Compared with synthetic pigments, the production process has less impact on the environment;
3. Food quality: organic phycocyanin has good stability and color, which can not only improve the color and taste of food, but also improve the quality of food;
4. Consumer preference: As everyone pays more attention to food safety and health, more people pursue natural and healthy ingredients, and phycocyanin is popular as a natural pigment.
