What Is Blue Spirulina Powder?

Blue Spirulina Powder is a natural blue pigment extracted from spirulina algae (Arthrospira platensis). Unlike whole spirulina powder, blue spirulina contains concentrated phycocyanin, the valuable blue protein responsible for its vibrant color and health-promoting properties. It has gained significant popularity in the food, beverage, supplement, and cosmetic industries as a natural alternative to synthetic blue colorants.

Blue spirulina is rich in antioxidants and is widely used in clean-label products, functional nutrition, smoothies, sports supplements, and wellness formulations.
