3-Pack – Organic Phycocyanin Extract Powder, 1.76 oz – MIRON GLASS

Phycocyanin: A Vision Lifesaver

Hey Everyone!

Our electric blue Phycocyanin Extract is an all time favorite among many.

Not only is it super fun to work with—turning all of our drinks and food electric blue—but it’s also incredibly beneficial for our eyes, skin, and overall wellness.

One customer wrote in saying, “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!”

Here’s our most recent testimonial from Stephanie on our Phycocyanin — paired with our Carrot Juice Powder, which is also incredible for eye health:

”What I want you to know is the amazing effect the organic Phycocyanin has had on my eyes. I have worn corrective lenses my whole life and in December I noticed my vision was not clear and sharp. A friend sent me the Phycocyanin as a surprise package. I called her after 5 days of taking it saying is it possible that my eyesight is now great, totally clear, everything is just so sharp, is it because of this? I actually noticed the difference after 2 days but was doubting. My body, eyes really needed it. I think I mentioned I am super sensitive to things, I know immediately if its not for me or when it something for me.

Even better, I did go to the eye doctor last week because at 68 with small cloudy lens spots and I needed to have them checked out. She told me my eyes were “Great”, and the cloudy lens spots were so small I probably would never have to have them removed. I have been drinking ½ tablespoon of the carrot juice daily for 9 -10 months. This is in comparison to the eye doctor appointment I had a little over a year ago that told me I had extreme dry eyes and my eye health was not good.

So thank you again…just thought you would like that fun update.”

That’s not surprising since it has been shown in animal studies to save healthy lens cells by zapping free radicals, and detoxing harmful metals from their eyes, which we’ll discuss further below.

Why is our Phycocyanin one of the best Superfoods on the planet?

Well, our Phycocyanin extract takes Spirulina to an entirely new level! What we do is we extract the most beneficial bioactive constituents from Spirulina, and we pack it into this bright blue phycocyanin powder.

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.

Next, we’ve got to talk about 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 why it’s ranked as one of the best Superfoods on the planet for our eyes.

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 cloudy lens spots.

As seen at the animal study here, it concludes, “Phycocyanin evades oxidative stress and related cellular damages by scavenging free radicals and chelating metal ions (from the eyes). 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 lens-clouding process (what causes cloudy lens spots) and protects the eye lens, liver, and kidneys from damage.

In laymen terms, scientists found phycocyanin stops cloudy lens spots 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! 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.

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 cloudy lens spots, 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 cloudy lens spots. It’s a powerful antioxidant and hydrator, ideal for preventing cloudy lens spots and blurry vision.

Why does this matter?

Our eyes are under attack from UV rays, screen devices, pollutants, and toxins in today’s world. Phycocyanin’s your shield, protecting your lenses and potentially even reversing early lens clouding damage.

Now check this out!

Just like it does for your eyes, Phycocyanin unleashes a wide array of unique pathways for 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!

Now this second pathway is mind-blowing — 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 breakouts, skin irritation, and redness. 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.

Now let’s talk about all of the other spectacular benefits this superfood has beyond absolute pure nourishment, beautifying our skin, and helping with lens clouding 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 blood sugar imbalance and excess weight, 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 cell-protective, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, antimicrobial, blood-sugar-balancing, antimelanogenic, and weight-management, 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 abnormal cell growth through multiple pathways. As shown in the clinical study here, phycocyanin acts as a toxin to abnormal 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. Of course, we don’t add any other ingredients. It has so much nutrition, antioxidant power, and so many health benefits.

However, forget all that.

It’s Bright Blue! lol

Thanks everyone for your support!

Sincerely,
Matt
