Organic Phycocyanin Powder, also called Blue Spirulina Powder or Spirulina Phycocyanin Extract, is a natural blue pigment protein extracted from spirulina (Arthrospira platensis). Its key active compound, phycocyanin, is a water-soluble phycobiliprotein known for its antioxidant activity and characteristic bright blue color, making it widely used in dietary supplements, functional beverages, gummies, and natural food coloring applications.
As the demand for clean-label and plant-based ingredients continues to grow, blue spirulina has become one of the most popular natural alternatives to synthetic blue dyes in the global functional food market.
Because phycocyanin is sensitive to heat and processing conditions, extraction technology plays a critical role in maintaining its color value and activity. Our Organic Blue Spirulina Powder is produced with controlled extraction processes to preserve high phycocyanin content, vibrant blue color, and good water solubility, making it suitable for beverage powders, nutrition blends, and finished formulations.
We also support customized supply and OEM formulation development, helping brands integrate phycocyanin / blue spirulina into supplements, drink mixes, and functional foods with stable performance and consistent ingredient quality.
Strong natural blue color with good performance in beverages, gummies, and nutrition powders.
Optimized extraction and drying process helps maintain stable blue color during processing compared with many standard spirulina extracts.
Long-term process optimization in algae and plant-based ingredients ensures consistent quality and supply.
Flexible specification, packaging, and formulation support for supplements, functional foods, and beverage brands.

Organic Phycocyanin Powder is a natural blue pigment protein extracted from spirulina (Arthrospira platensis). It is widely used in dietary supplements, functional foods, cosmetics, and natural coloring because of its bright blue shade and antioxidant activity.
Our Organic Phycocyanin Powder contains a high phycocyanin content ranging between 20% and 30%, which ensures a strong natural color performance and excellent antioxidant benefits.
Phycocyanin is sensitive to high heat, direct light, and extreme pH levels. We utilize controlled low-temperature extraction and optimized drying processes to maintain stable color values and preserve active compounds.
For supplements and beverages, the recommended dosage is 50 to 500 mg per serving. For skincare formulations, use 0.1% to 1%. For food and drink coloring, a dosage of 0.05% to 0.3% is sufficient for bright blue coloration without altering product taste.
We support flexible customization for specifications, packaging, and specific formulation demands, enabling brands to seamlessly integrate our blue spirulina into customized supplement capsules, gummies, tablet blends, or drink mixes.
