HomeExtract phycocyanin (blue pigment) from spirulina,
and blended it with normal cultured Spirulina at 5%.
1500 tablets
Phycocyanin contained only in Spirulina was extracted and added to normal cultured Spirulina at 5%. Therefore, the characteristics of phycocyanin are further enhanced.
Spirulina is an ideal balanced nutritious food for life of people who are worried about unbalanced diet and lack of exercise.
This is a basic type of spirulina.
Phycocyanin is a color connected with protein, and is a one of the components which works importantly in our body.
Phycocyanin are contained amazingly lots in Spirulina as there are 6g of pycocyanin in 100g.
Natural color of food
Phycocyanin of spirulina is used as natural food coloring for soda ice cream and soda pop.
Phycocyanin contained in spirulina has a lot of effect for health, for example kidney function improvement effect, anti-oxidant action and function of decreasing the value of creatinine.

Curative effect for cancer by phycocyanin
20 mice are separated to 2 groups.
10 mice are given 100mg / kg of phycocyanin orally per day and other mice are not given phycocyanin. Cell of liver cancer is transplanted to all mice and survival rate was measured.
This result shows that spirulina has effect to improve cancer.

Effect of C-PC(C-Phycocyanin) for K562
(Chronic myelogenous leukemia cell)
K562 processes by C-PC, 10, 25, 50, 100μM(micro moll) in FBS (Fetal bovine serum) and is cultured for 24, 48, 72, 96 hours. As a result, chronic myelogenous leukemia cell is decreased (49% at the most) statically and significantly regard to control group.
Therefore, it is clear that phycocyanin resist myelogenous leukemia cell.

Phycocyanin plays an important role in photosynthesis of spirulina.
Photosynthesis of spirulina uses blue color pigment, phycocyanin and green color pigment, chlorophyll a.
Spirulina produce CO2 and glycogen by solar power.
Usually, plants produce starch, however spirulina produce glycogen which can be used as energy soon, not starch.
Therefore, spirulina is superior as energy support food which is able to be used soon.
It is one of mystery of spirulina that Spirulina which is a plant microorganism contains many animal color pigments that contained in animal’s bile.
Our plant in Yamanashi prefecture, Japan, manufacture and deliver directly.
We always offer high quality of spirulina under the strict control.
This spirulina 100% is made in our plant which locates in Minami Arupusu city Yamanashi Prefecture and delivered. Our company have No1 share of spirulina in Japan. Now, we have developed and we can export to Asian countries and Europe and North America. We are Japanese company that has been offering high quality spirulina, which is helpful for many people’s health, for about 35 years since 1980.
