Why use Phycosan, phycocyanin from Flamant Vert?

PhycoSAN is a liquid spirulina extract concentrated in phycocyanin.

Phycocyanin is a water-soluble blue pigmented protein that is naturally contained in spirulina.

PhycoSAN is produced using techniques using only aqueous phases which respect the integrity of the phycocyanin, its conservation is ensured thanks to natural preservatives (sugars, alcohol, and rosemary extract).

One tablespoon of PhycoSAN contains 40 mg of phycocyanin.

What is the difference between the phycocyanin that we consume in dry spirulina and that contained in an extract?

Spirulina contains a large quantity of phycocyanin, around 15 to 20% before drying

Phycocyanins are aggregated into macromolecular complexes attached to the thylakoid membrane, the site of photosynthesis. The release of phycocyanin from spirulina has been shown to be very slow, up to 36 hours in an aqueous medium.

However, the window for oral absorption of active molecules is preferentially located in the small intestine and more particularly in the duodenum. This area is located immediately after the stomach and therefore is crossed quickly after oral ingestion of food.

Knowing that the consumption of spirulina takes at most two hours to reach the duodenum, we can therefore consider that the consumption of dry or even fresh spirulina cannot allow much benefit from the effects of phycocyanin if it is not solubilized before to reach the small intestine.

Thus, claims relating to the phycocyanin content of dry spirulina have little or no justification, unless you extract it yourself before use.
