Blue Spirulina

Q: How does Blue Spirulina differ metabolically from regular green spirulina?
A: Blue Spirulina contains phycocyanin, a rare pigment-protein complex that acts as a super antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. Unlike chlorophyll in green spirulina, phycocyanin directly supports mitochondrial health, enhances ATP production efficiency, and protects cells from oxidative stress without introducing the heavy-metal binding effects of chlorophyll.

Q: Can Blue Spirulina support detoxification or heavy metal clearance?
A: Yes, indirectly. While green spirulina’s chlorophyll aids in heavy metal binding, Blue Spirulina supports the body’s intrinsic detox systems by upregulating antioxidant enzymes like SOD (superoxide dismutase) and catalase. This strengthens the liver’s ability to neutralise free radicals generated during detoxification.

Q: Is Blue Spirulina effective for cognitive enhancement or mood?
A: Emerging evidence suggests that phycocyanin modulates neuroinflammation and increases brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), supporting neurogenesis and mood balance. Biohackers often pair it with omega-3s or adaptogens for synergistic nootropic effects.

Q: Does Blue Spirulina enhance oxygen uptake or athletic performance?
A: Yes. Its antioxidant profile helps protect red blood cells and mitochondria from oxidative damage, improving cellular oxygen efficiency. Some endurance athletes use it pre-training to reduce fatigue and lactic acid build-up.

Q: What time of day is best to take Blue Spirulina for optimal benefits?
A: Morning or pre-workout is ideal, when mitochondrial activity and detox pathways are naturally active. Taken on an empty stomach with a light fat source (like MCT oil or coconut water) enhances bioavailability and energy support.

Q: Can Blue Spirulina support skin health and ageing?
A: Phycocyanin helps regulate collagen-degrading enzymes (MMPs) and reduces oxidative damage from UV exposure. Many longevity enthusiasts use it as part of their internal “skin nutrition” stack with Astaxanthin and Vitamin C. Both are also available here.

Q: What makes Blue Spirulina’s phycocyanin such a powerful antioxidant?
A: Its molecular structure allows it to bind and neutralise peroxyl radicals and inhibit lipid peroxidation directly in cell membranes. This means it doesn’t just scavenge free radicals, it stabilises cell integrity and slows biological ageing at the mitochondrial level.

Q: Are there synergies between Blue Spirulina and other supplements?
A: Yes. It pairs exceptionally well with our Pure NMN powder or a quality Co Q 10 Supplement for mitochondrial energy. Using it with Taurine or Magnesium will enhance cellular hydration and nerve function. Then as I mentioned above for skin, Astaxanthin and a high quality Vit C will do it. MSM also could be in that protocol but not taken at the same time.

• Take 1 to 3 grams of Blue Spirulina Powder daily in smoothies, juices, coconut water, or protein shakes or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. It can also be mixed into yoghurt or raw treats.

NOTE: Avoid heating above 60°C to preserve Phycocyanin pigment and nutrients. Store tightly sealed in the Miron Glass Jar leave in a cool, dark place.
