フィコシアニンの各種炎症性疾患への応用

Spirulina extract from spirulina maxima，As we all know, as small as a cold, as large as the new coronavirus pneumonia, are inflammatory reactions, but the severity is different, and even can be worlds apart.

You may not know that inflammation is also a major cause of malignancy and the progression of cardiovascular disease. Inflammation can lead to atrial fibrillation, atherosclerosis and cancer progression through the production of reactive oxygen species. Therefore, inflammation is a common cause and driving force behind many diseases, especially major diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disease, which should not be underestimated.

Originally, inflammation is the dynamic feedback of the autoimmune system, which promotes the recovery of damaged tissues, clears out aging and diseased cells, and protects itself from foreign invasion by viruses and bacteria. However, excessive inflammation in the removal of pathogens at the same time, but also on the vital organs of the tissues and cells caused by the attack and promote the occurrence of lesions, will have adverse effects on health.

In 2022, a research team of the Chinese Academy of Sciences published a review of studies on phycocyanin in spirulina, revealing the application of phycocyanin in a variety of inflammatory diseases such as lung, liver, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in recent years

フィコシアニン is an active substance in spirulina, which has outstanding antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, can effectively inhibit various inflammatory diseases, and has high nutritional and medical value. It is praised as “food diamond” by food experts.

Blue spirulina extract Brain disease

Brain diseases such as stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, and ischemic brain injury are thought to be due to disruption of the homeostasis of the brain’s neural networks, leading to abnormal metabolism and apoptosis of nerve cells. These processes are often associated with inflammatory damage.

The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of organic blue majik phycocyanin extract can reduce the oxidative stress response of neurons, reduce inflammation, and regulate immunity, thus alleviating the damage caused by brain diseases to a certain extent.

Blue majik spirulina powder atherosclerosis

Cardiovascular disease has a high incidence, high disability rate and high mortality rate, and has become a major killer of human beings. Atherosclerosis, the most representative of cardiovascular diseases, has been shown to be associated with inflammation and oxidative damage.

The tetrapyridine structure of extract of spirulina phycocyanin can mimic the products of the heme catabolic pathway, thereby protecting atherosclerosis.

フィコシアニン spirulina Inflammatory bowel disease

The gut is not only a place for nutrient intake and utilization, but also a congenital barrier for pathogens, toxins and other harmful substances to enter the human body. Due to long-term exposure to pathogens and toxins, the intestine has become the main site of inflammation, which is closely related to the occurrence and development of various diseases.

Blue majik raw spirulina Phycocyanin regulates the composition of beneficial and harmful bacteria in the intestinal flora and protects the intestine from excessive radiation damage. Selenium-rich blue majik supplement phycocyanin can alleviate weight loss and bloody diarrhea in colitis mice, reduce the release of inflammatory factors in the intestine, and activate macrophages.

Alga spirulina maxima o platensis Pulmonary disease

The lungs are responsible for the exchange of air between the body and the environment. The partial pressure of oxygen in the lungs is much higher than that of other organs. Because the lungs are often exposed to the oxide environment, such as cigarette smoke, dust, automobile exhaust, etc., they are most vulnerable to external stimulation, which causes lung tissue inflammation and damages lung parenchyma. Acute lung injury is a clinical critical emergency characterized by diffuse pulmonary dysfunction with a high mortality rate.

Blue majik algae powder Phycocyanin can promote the anti-oxidation and anti-inflammation of the body by up-regulating the expression of heme oxygenase-1, so as to reduce the acute lung injury caused by sepsis.

Blue majik blue spirulina Alcoholic liver disease

The liver is the largest gland in the body and contains a large number of active metabolic enzymes. The rich blood supply and unique structure make the metabolic function of the liver very active. It plays a key role in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins and other substances, and is an important organ for drug metabolism. Therefore, the liver is one of the most fragile and important organs. Alcoholic liver disease is caused by chronic alcohol abuse and affects millions of people worldwide each year, with 10% of deaths linked to alcoholic liver disease. After alcohol is ingested by the human body, it is first metabolized in the liver after being absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract.

Blue majik capsules Phycocyanin reduces the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in the blood. Moreover, it can significantly increase the activity of CD3+T and CD4+T cells in serum, increase the proliferation rate of T cells, improve the body immunity, and inhibit subacute liver cell damage caused by alcohol.

At present, phycocyanin has become a research hotspot of natural medicine at home and abroad.
