Wilderness Poets Organic Blue Spirulina Phycocyanin - 0.5 oz

Blue Spirulina is a nutrient-dense algae that is a source of phycocyanin, an antioxidant responsible for its vibrant blue color. It's known for its potential immune-boosting properties and nutritional benefits.

The 0.5 oz container contains 28 servings when each serving is 1/2 teaspoon (0.5g).

Store the container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use.

While you can add it to recipes, it's best to add it after cooking or to uncooked items. High heat can degrade the phycocyanin, reducing its antioxidant benefits and vibrant color.

As a natural food supplement, it can be given to children in appropriate small doses, similar to adults. Consult with a pediatrician or healthcare professional if you have specific concerns about using supplements for children.

Phycocyanin is a pigment-protein complex found in cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) like spirulina. It's known for its antioxidant properties and the distinctive blue color it imparts.

Wilderness Poets emphasizes USDA Organic certification, which includes stringent testing for contaminants like heavy metals. Refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's website for specific testing information if available.

Ensure the container is tightly sealed and stored in a dry environment. A small amount of clumping is natural due to the product's moisture-absorbing properties.

Start with a smaller serving size (e.g., 1/4 teaspoon) and gradually increase. Mix with ingredients that have strong, complementary flavors like citrus fruits, berries, or vanilla.

Ensure you are using the recommended serving size. The vibrancy can also be affected by the other ingredients it's mixed with. Use cold or room temperature liquids, as excessive heat can degrade the color and phycocyanin.
