Unlike regular spirulina, our certified organic blue phycocyanin powder doesn't have any fishy smell or taste and contains a range of health benefits.
Phycocyanin
Blue spirulina gets its vibrant colour from the powerful antioxidant called phycocyanin, which has been proven to be anti-allergen, anti-inflammatory, and helps you produce more red blood cells that transport oxygen around the body. This little-known wonder nutrient is a strong fighter against free radicals and research suggests that it may protect cells in the nervous system, liver, heart and kidneys. It's what makes blue spirulina so unique and special.
Vitamins, Minerals & Protein
The FDA in the USA has shown this superfood contains high levels of calcium, niacin, potassium, magnesium, B vitamins and iron. On top of this, protein makes up about 80 percent of our blue spirulina's dry weight. Here at Cheeky Good we always recommend consuming our blue spirulina as part of a balanced diet. You can mix it with smoothies, yoghurt, hummus and spreads or get as creative as you want.
Introducing blue spirulina into your diet can help improve your immune system, increase energy levels, reduce anxiety and let you get a better night sleep.
Amino Acids
Tryptophan is an essential amino acid and since our bodies don't naturally produce it, we have to find ways of introducing it into our diet. It's proven to help people struggling with depression and anxiety, and can help you achieve better mental wellbeing. Including Tryptothan, our blue spirulina contains all of the 9 essential amino acids (and 18 in total).
Antioxidants
It's well cited that spirulina contains antioxidants that help the body in a number of ways. It activates cellular antioxidant enzymes, inhibits DNA damage, scavenges free radicals, and has anti-inflammatory properties. Clinical trials also show that it prevents skeletal muscle damage under conditions of exercise-induced oxidative stress and can stimulate the production of antibodies.
Simply add a teaspoon of our phycocyanin powder into almost anything - smoothies, drinks, food and spreads, to give your diet a cheeky nutritional boost.
Nature's source of blue
Most people associate blue food with artificial ingredients. With our organic blue spirulina, that's all changed. Now there's not only a way to colour your food naturally, but also make it healthy with our plant-based superfood.
Phycocyanin: fighting the good fight
Blue spirulina contains high levels of Phycocyanin, a powerful and potent antioxidant that helps your body fight free radicals, can reduce inflammation and may help alleviate allergies.
