High-Activity Algae-Sourced Antioxidant Functional Base Material
Spirulina Extract is a high-activity algae-sourced functional raw material refined from Spirulina platensis and Spirulina maxima via low-temperature cell wall disruption, aqueous extraction, membrane-separation purification, concentration and drying. It concentrates the core functional components of spirulina. It is a permitted raw material for food and health-food applications in China, complying with relevant food-safety standards. It may be used as required in accordance with GB 2760 and the Catalogue of Raw Materials for Health Foods. It features four core attributes: high-purity phycocyanin, powerful antioxidant capacity, high activity with good absorbability, and natural colouring & colour-protection performance.
Main Components: High-purity phycocyanin, spirulina polysaccharides, natural chlorophyll, β-carotene, γ-linolenic acid, natural algae-sourced active complex
Core Specifications: Phycocyanin ≥20% (custom high-content grades available); moisture ≤7.0%; heavy-metals and pesticide-residues not detected; high retention rate of active ingredients
Appearance: Dark blue-green fine powder, free of caking and visible impurities. Possesses pure natural algal aroma without off-odours or bitter taste. Light-weight loose powder with excellent dispersibility.
Stability: Stable under low-temperature conditions; high activity retention under light-proof environment; tolerant to conventional processing technologies. Shelf-life: 24 months when hermetically stored in cool, dry and dark conditions.
Solubility: Freely soluble in hot and cold pure water; forms bright clear aqueous solutions without precipitation or flocculation. Exhibits excellent compatibility with proteins, hydrocolloids, sugar alcohols and active ingredients.
➢Regulatory: Listed in the Catalogue of Raw Materials for Health Foods; dual compliance for food and health-food uses. Prominent clean-label feature with simple and compliant labelling requirements.
➢Activity: Highly concentrated core functional components; far higher content of active substances than ordinary spirulina powder, delivering stronger functionality at lower dosage levels.
➢Absorption: Small-molecule extracted active structures requiring minimal gastrointestinal breakdown. High human bioavailability with low metabolic burden, suitable for all population groups.
➢Formulation Compatibility: Freely combinable with dietary fibre, sugar alcohols, fruit-vegetable powders, probiotics and vitamins without antagonising active components, supporting functional formula upgrading.
➢Practicality: Low impurity levels, pure flavour and uniform colouring with high batch-to-batch stability. Multi-purpose value for nutrient fortification, antioxidant effects and natural colouration.
Highly enriched with phycocyanin, the signature active constituent of spirulina. As a premium natural functional raw material, it effectively enhances end-product functionality. Compared with ordinary spirulina powder, it delivers stronger formula performance at reduced addition rates.
Synergistic effects of phycocyanin, β-carotene and spirulina polysaccharides provide outstanding antioxidant performance. It efficiently scavenges free radicals, alleviates oxidative stress, retards cellular ageing and enhances anti-ageing and wellness-oriented functional value of finished products.
Inherent pure dark blue-green natural hue with uniform, stable and transparent colour tone. It can fully replace synthetic artificial pigments and meets colour-formulation demands for premium clean-label foods, health products and cosmetic articles.
Purification and concentration remove large-molecule impurities. Active ingredients feature low molecular weight and good solubility for fast human absorption. Gentle on gastrointestinal tracts with no long-term metabolic stress, suitable for daily functional dietary supplementation.
High concentration of active substances and low content of inert impurities. It does not impair original flavour or system stability of finished goods. Adaptable to solid and liquid multi-dosage-form processing and compatible with conventional hot-and-cold manufacturing processes.
Stable natural pigment structure enriched with natural chlorophyll. Resists fading and discoloration under typical storage and processing conditions, maintaining consistent product colour and improving shelf-life visual stability and texture quality. Meanwhile, chlorophyll works synergistically with active components to support brain nutrient supply and assist improvement of human cognitive ability and memory performance.
Spirulina Extract is a highly-concentrated algae-derived functional raw material with proven food safety and multiple physiological wellness benefits:
High-activity phycocyanin and spirulina polysaccharides activate immune-cell functions, regulate immune balance, strengthen bodily defence capacity and improve sub-health status.
Continuously scavenges free radicals, mitigates bodily oxidative damage, alleviates fatigue and improves mental state to realise long-term physical maintenance.
Synergistic action of multiple algae-sourced active ingredients helps stabilise body metabolism. Suitable for daily dietary conditioning of metabolically-sensitive populations and gently supports physiological functions.
Purified and mild ingredients without irritation. It synergistically modulates gut microecology and promotes nutrient absorption. Well-tolerated by general population and suitable for long-term dietary maintenance.
Rich in natural chlorophyll and multiple algae-sourced active ingredients, it synergistically supplies nutrients for brain tissue. It effectively improves human memory, enhances cognitive concentration, relieves mental fatigue and supports stable brain-physiological functions.
