Hey Everyone!

You know how I'm always raving about how incredible phycocyanin is for your eyes, protecting them against cataracts and boosting vision like a superhero? Well, we’ve got even more exciting updates on that front, plus a game-changing new reason to love this bright electric blue superfood.

Just like it does for your eyes, Phycocyanin unleashes a wide array of unique pathways, surpassing all other superfoods in rejuvenating and safeguarding your skin, giving you a vibrant, youthful glow that’ll make the church bells ring louder than ever before!

We are talking 3 different unique pathways making it more comprehensive than any other superfood.

Most other superfoods that are beneficial for the skin mainly offer protective effects. However, phycocyanin’s ability to both shield and rebuild skin, while reducing inflammation all at the same time, makes it a uniquely powerful ally for youthful, glowing skin.

Furthermore, the protective effects of the skin that Phycocyanin does offer goes way beyond the protective effects of other foods due to its activation of a very special and unique protein-powered pathway called (PKC α/βII-Nrf-2/HO-1). As seen in the clinical study here, this pathway not only neutralizes free radicals with its superior antioxidant capacity, often outpacing vitamin C or E, but also up-regulates a powerful enzyme called (HO-1). This high-powered enzyme reduces oxidative stress and prevents skin cells from dying. Many superfoods, like berries or green tea, primarily rely on general antioxidant activity without this targeted cellular protection, making phycocyanin’s mechanism more robust and efficient for UV defense.

UV defense is crucial for youthful skin, because UV rays generate free radicals that break down collagen and elastin, leading to wrinkles, sagging, and dark spots, while also causing DNA damage that accelerates aging. Protecting against this keeps your skin firm, even-toned, and radiant. Phycocyanin is like a natural sunscreen from the inside out!

For the second pathway, Phycocyanin regenerates your skin by speeding up repair and healing. In the study here, they found that phycocyanin promotes skin repair, fixing damage and fighting aging (like UV rays) by encouraging collagen-producing skin cells to increase their numbers through cell division. This helps rebuild damaged skin tissue faster. Phycocyanin also encourages these dividing cells to move to damaged areas, where they deposit new collagen and other foundational components, aiding in repair and regeneration.

This simply means by supporting skin cell repair, it rejuvenates your complexion, making your skin look younger, smoother, and more vibrant.

The third pathway that Phycocyanin takes to beautify your skin is it calms inflammation. Inflammation contributes to collagen breakdown and wrinkle formation. Phycocyanin’s ability to reduce inflammation helps protect against these aging effects, especially when paired with its antioxidant properties (e.g., from the UV protection pathway).

As seen in the study here, triggers like bacteria, immune responses, or irritants activate a specific pathway called NF-κB, leading to increased cytokines that cause general redness and swelling in the skin, even for conditions like acne, psoriasis, and rosacea. Phycocyanin tackles inflammation by blocking this NF-κB pathway, calming this redness and swelling for a clearer, more radiant complexion!

Phycocyanin actually works through many more pathways to beautify your skin, but I’ve highlighted the most impactful and well-researched ones for you above.

For example, in the study here, Phycocyanin reduces MMP enzyme activity, which is an enzyme that breaks down collagen and elastin. This helps prevent the sagging and wrinkles that come from their breakdown.

As you can see, no other food beautifies our skin from so many different angles. It's the same with our vision!

As seen in this image above, I have never seen a Superfood that takes so many different pathways in order to help vision and reverse cataracts.

As seen at the study here, scientists found phycocyanin stops cataracts in their tracks by zapping free radicals, saving healthy lens cells, and detoxing harmful metals from your eyes. It’s like a deep-clean for your vision!

This study concludes, "Phycocyanin evades oxidative stress and related cellular damages by scavenging free radicals and chelating metal ions. It’s not only a powerful antioxidant but also has strong anti-apoptotic effects (stopping your eye cells from dying). In this study, phycocyanin significantly reduces the cataractogenic process (what causes cataracts) and protects the eye lens, liver, and kidneys from damage.

In this study, Phycocyanin also balances electrolyte levels and lowers oxidative stress in the liver, enhancing liver function. It protects your kidneys by boosting antioxidant defenses, reducing damage from free radicals, and supports your heart by preventing oxidative harm to its tissues. So, phycocyanin’s benefits for your liver, kidneys, and heart tackle systemic issues like oxidative stress and inflammation, boosting overall wellness and keeping your eyes healthy, because a healthy body means healthy eyes!

Another study here, took it a step further. They tried to cloud rats’ eyes with harsh chemicals, but phycocyanin kept their lenses crystal clear. No cataracts, just sparkling vision! Therefore, Phycocyanin may be able to protect your eyes from the rancid pollution in our environment just like the rats eyes stayed clear despite being hit with harsh chemicals. It’s like armor for your eyes in a toxic world!

Additionally, the phycocyanin-treated rats showed no lens clouding, with higher levels of glutathione, water content, and soluble lens proteins compared to controls. Glutathione is a critical antioxidant in the lens. Phycocyanin raises glutathione to shield lens proteins from damage, keeps the lens hydrated, and stops protein clumping that leads to cataracts. It’s a powerful antioxidant and hydrator, ideal for preventing cataracts and blurry vision.

Why does this matter? 

Our eyes are under attack from UV rays, pollutants, and toxins in today’s world. Phycocyanin’s your shield, protecting your lenses and potentially even reversing early cataract damage. One customer wrote, “My partner’s eyesight is getting better, and so is mine!” Another said years ago when we briefly had the powder in pill form, “Those beautiful blue pills improved my vision!”

What makes Phycocyanin so great, and how on earth does it deliver such incredible results for your eyes and skin?

Phycocyanin takes Spirulina to the next level! We extract the main active constituents from Spirulina, packed inside this bright blue phycocyanin powder, for maximum benefits.

In fact, at the clinical study here, it states that C-Phycocyanin is considered the main antioxidant in Spirulina. I can see why it's so powerful for our eyes and skin!

Spirulina alone is known to be the most powerful food in the world. As you can see at the study here, NASA declared that the nutritional value of 1000 kg of fruits and vegetables equals 1kg of Spirulina. NASA has promoted Spirulina as a food and supplement for astronauts during their space missions since small amounts are able to provide different nutrients and protective effects. In that same study, it shares that the United Nations has even hailed Spirulina as the “Best food for the future”.

If 1000 KG of fruits and vegetables equals 1KG of Spirulina, now imagine extracting the main bioactive component of Spirulina. Can you imagine how many KG's of fruits and vegetables are in 1 KG of Phycocyanin?

In fact, all of the protein in Spirulina comes from the Phycocyanin. Over 40% of this Phycocyanin powder is straight out protein.

I still haven’t even gotten into Phycocyanin’s thrilling bright blue therapeutic properties.

You have to check this out.

Here is an image from a video where I was turning my water blue. I had just started the process out and look at it go.

Why is it so bright blue?

Phycocyanin is involved in the photosynthesis of Spirulina and is the responsible component of the blue color of the blue-green color of the Spirulina microalgae. So, Spirulina is Blue-Green, and Phycocyanin is just the blue component without the green. This is why the Phycocyanin is bright blue. This is what makes Phycocyanin a Super Fun Superfood to work with.

If you haven’t seen it yet, you will not believe your eyes when you see how bright blue and beautiful this single-ingredient Phycocyanin extract truly is. You can turn your food, smoothie, or water, bright blue in an instant. It’s a total crowd-pleaser, super fun, and will totally deliver a huge nutritional energy boost plus an incredible array of health benefits, it’s wild!

It’s so bright blue in fact, that It almost burns your eyes to look at, lol! That was metaphoric, btw.

It also almost has a sweet taste to it. I sometimes put it directly into my mouth with no food or water. I just love the taste.

Now let’s talk about all of the other spectacular benefits this superfood has beyond absolute pure nourishment, beautifying our skin, and helping with cataract progression.

Clinical studies reveal phycocyanin’s incredible anti-inflammatory and antioxidant powers. It also boasts amazing neuro-protective and anti-arthritic benefits, strengthens immunity, shields your liver, heart, and kidneys, lowers cholesterol, fights diabetes and obesity, prevents melanin overproduction, speeds up wound healing, and even helps stop bleeding.

Here is a great summary of the many benefits of Phycocyanin at the clinical study here.

I pulled this image from the study above, showcasing phycocyanin’s incredible benefits: it’s anticancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-neurodegenerative, antimicrobial, antidiabetic, antimelanogenic, and anti-obesity, while also offering powerful protection for your kidneys, liver, and heart, speeding up wound healing, and delivering amazing antioxidant activity.

Phycocyanin is one of the most studied superfoods for its potential to fight Cancer through multiple pathways. As shown in the clinical study here, phycocyanin acts as a toxin to cancer cells while remaining non-toxic to normal cells, making it a powerful ally.

What we are dealing with here today is a Superfood, where we have extracted the main active most potent constituent of Spirulina, and we have put it in a bag and a miron glass jar just for you.
