Phycosens, the blue gold of spirulina
Phycosens is a natural food supplement composed of phycocyanin, a blue pigment found in certain algae including spirulina. Phycocyanine, the main element of spirulina, is extracted from fresh spirulina, which gives it multiple properties for the well-being and the organism.
La phycocyanine (du grec « phyco » : algue et « cyanine » : cyan qui désigne la couleur bleue) est l’association d’une protéine et d’un pigment naturel de couleur bleue, une couleur particulièrement rare à l’état naturel. C’est sa capacité à capter les photons lumineux qui lui confère ses propriétés remarquables.
La phycocyanine possède une composition fascinante. Cette protéine hydrosoluble, classée parmi les phycobiliprotéines, est constituée de deux sous-unités principales : l’α-phycocyanine et la β-phycocyanine. Chacune d’elles renferme des groupes chromophores capables d’absorber la lumière dans les longueurs d’onde bleue et rouge du spectre, donnant ainsi à la phycocyanine sa teinte bleu-vert si caractéristique.
Élément clé de la spiruline, la phycocyanine adopte une structure complexe et finement organisée. Ses sous-unités s’assemblent en complexes appelés phycobilisomes, essentiels à la capture et au transfert de l’énergie lumineuse indispensable à la photosynthèse des algues. Isolés, ces complexes trouvent des applications variées, notamment dans l’industrie alimentaire et la recherche scientifique en biotechnologie.
Ce phytonutriment présent dans la spiruline est reconnu pour son puissant effet stimulant. Le comité scientifique, qui recense à ce jour environ 2 000 publications sur la spiruline, a mis en lumière que la phycocyanine était, à elle seule, responsable de nombreux bienfaits initialement attribués à la spiruline.
Les études ont également révélé que son extraction renforce considérablement son efficacité (cf. absorption de la phycocyanine). En effet, elle serait 6000 à 7000 fois plus active que la spiruline elle-même. Par ailleurs, la phycocyanine est particulièrement bien tolérée et ne provoque pas les désagréments que certaines personnes peuvent ressentir en consommant de la spiruline.

Caractéristique du Phycosens, l'or bleu de la spiruline
Extremely rich in micronutrients and macronutrients, this supplement also contains important rates of very bioavailable proteins (60 to 70%).
Rich in carotenoids, it has a similar or even more powerful action than that of vitamin C.
Iron, unsaturated fatty acids and the chlorophyll it contains are real allies that help to slow down aging and provide good nutritional intake to athletes.
It can be used as an effective aid in the detoxification of heavy metals(1) since it contributes to reducing the toxicity of chemicals very effectively. It is advisable to associate it systematically when taking chemicals. The polysaccharides of spirulina and phycocyanin have the ability to fix toxins and drive them out of the body, thus preventing them from depositing in the tissues and disrupting their functioning.
It helps to form a shield protecting the cells against aggressive molecules such as free radicals. Unlike some chemical molecules, it is free of undesirable and embarrassing effects.
It can help in case of weakness or excess of the natural defense system. Associated with the Moducare, it will provide protection and regulation.
It contributes to the fluidity of circulating liquids as well as to the regulation of cholesterol levels.
It supports and protects all the functions of the body in a preventive way.
Phycocyanin helps to maintain good energy and vitality, so it can be recommended in cases of fatigue, lack of iron, or recovery after intensive physical efforts.
Remember that the active ingredients (minerals, vitamins, trace elements, proteins and fatty acids) extracted from algae are generally extremely bioavailable to the human body.
Spiruline et phycocyanine, pourquoi en prendre
Phycocyanine, a jewel of blue color, is the blue gold of spirulina. These preventive, protective and antioxidant properties contribute to general well-being. This food supplement can be advised for all, whatever the state of health and it can be associated with other natural products as well as with chemical molecules. It has proven to be very effective in the face of many common problems and disorders, but also more advanced ones.
Phycocyanin seems 6000 to 7000 times more active than Spirulina itself and 20 times more powerful than Vitamin C. Phycosens based on phycocyanin constitutes a real "treasure for the well-being" and a food supplement with multiple and powerful effects.
Les différentes vertus de la spiruline
L’action de la phycocyanine sur le foie
Detoxifying and hepatoprotective, phycocyanin helps the body get rid of toxins. Chemicals are numerous in our lives, both in the air and in food, a natural detoxification is necessary several times a year. For this, an action on the liver seems to be a priority. In the case of phycocyanin, it binds to bile acids to act significantly on the increase in fecal excretion of cholesterol and bile acids.
For a detoxification of the organism from heavy metals, phycocyanin has an undeniable chelation capacity. Therefore, by binding to the polysaccharides of phycocyanin, heavy metals are easily eliminated from the body.
L’action de la phycocyanine sur le système immunitaire
Phycocyanin is a modulator of immunity. It is said to be an immunomodulator. As a result, it considerably reduces and eliminates allergic-type inflammation. Its intake does not alter in any way the stomach function. Indeed, even taken over the long term, phycocyanin does not damage the stomach.
L’action antioxydante de la phycocyanine pour lutter contre le stress
The body is constantly fighting against the effects of free radicals that cause oxidation inside the human body. Natural antioxidants diminish with age, thus limiting this inner fight against cell aging. Phycocyanine is a perfect food supplement to maintain a good anti-free radical health. This food complement is ideal in the event of oxidative stress.
L’action de la phycocyanine sur le diabète
Phycocyanin helps to lower the blood sugar level. Therefore, type 2 diabetics see this blue gold as a quality accompaniment. Indeed, phycocyanin would also help to fight against the complications related to this disease.
L’action de la phycocyanine sur la thyroïde
Phycocyanin is a new hope for all people suffering from thyroid disease. In hypothyroidism, phycocyanin has a natural regulatory action. In case of Hashimoto's disease, its action on the immune system, in association with moducare, could help the patient to feel better on a daily basis. No solution is proposed for hyperthyroidism.
L’action de la phycocyanine sur le cœur
Phycocyanin contributes to good cardiovascular health. As a result, it prevents heart-related diseases. Anti-cholesterol and anticoagulant, it prevents the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Its action is obviously preventive.
L’action antivirale de la phycocyanine
Associated with spirulina, phycocyanin acts effectively against the viruses it inhibits. In addition, its potency prevents the replication of the AIDS virus.
L’action de la phycocyanine sur les reins
A cure of phycocyanin would prevent the appearance of kidney stones for people who are sensitive to it. In addition, its overall detoxifying action would help the kidneys get rid of all organic toxicity, such as traces of mercury or any other medication.
L’action de la phycocyanine sur la leucémie et le cancer
Phycocyanin stops the proliferation of cells that are dangerous for the body. It is said to be a powerful inhibitor of cell growth. Therefore, it would be a hope for the future. In addition, phycocyanin allows to improve enzymatic activity at the cellular level, while repairing DNA.
Of undeniable effectiveness, phycocyanine, this blue pigment from seaweed, is the food supplement of the future. Harvested in extraordinary environments (thermal cures at over 70 degrees, polar zones, etc.), its various actions on health make this molecule a real therapeutic gem.
