Description

Spirulina Powder is a premium-grade, nutrient-dense biomass derived from the cyanobacterium *Arthrospira platensis*. This natural superfood concentrate is valued for its high content of protein, essential amino acids, vitamins, and potent antioxidants like phycocyanin. It serves as a critical functional ingredient for manufacturers in the nutraceutical, food and beverage, and cosmetic industries seeking to enhance the nutritional profile and health benefits of their products.

Application

• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Used in capsules, tablets, and powder blends as a source of plant-based protein, vitamins (especially B12), and antioxidants.
• Functional Food & Beverage Fortification: Incorporated into health bars, smoothie mixes, energy drinks, and snacks to boost nutritional value and provide natural color.
• Animal & Aquaculture Feed: Serves as a high-quality protein and carotenoid source to improve growth, immunity, and coloration in livestock, poultry, and farmed fish.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Utilized in skincare formulations for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and revitalizing properties.
• Natural Food Coloring: The phycocyanin pigment provides a stable, vibrant blue-green color for confectionery, dairy products, and beverages.
• Research & Biotechnology: Employed in biochemical research and as a raw material for extracting high-value compounds like C-phycocyanin.
