Spirulina Extract – Natural Blue-Green Pigment and Protein Source

Product Overview

Spirulina Extract is a natural microalgae concentrate derived from Arthrospira platensis, valued for its vivid blue-green color, high protein content, and antioxidant capacity. Naturally rich in phycocyanin, chlorophyll, vitamins, and minerals, it serves both as a natural pigment (E18) and functional superfood ingredient for food, beverage, and nutraceutical industries.
