Spirulina is a blue-green algae that is safe for consumption. The World Health Organization recognizes its high nutrient density as **“the best food for the future.”**¹²³ NASA uses Spirulina as a supplement during space missions to provide the nutrients needed for astronauts.⁴
Blue Spirulina, also known as cyano-phycocyanin (C-PC), is the “blue” component of blue-green spirulina, a bioactive compound carefully extracted from spirulina. In nature, C-PC protects spirulina cells and helps them survive due to its powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that fight free radical damage. The extraction process is crucial for purity, which Ocean Rx prioritizes.
