Behind the Product


Welcome to the heart of PhycoBoost’s innovation, where cutting edge research meets precision driven manufacturing. In our in-house laboratories, we sustainably cultivated Spirulina, delivering the pure phycocyanin pigment. Each claim you see on our packaging is supported by peer-reviewed studies, from cardiovascular protection and liver detoxification to neuroprotection and immune modulation. Explore how our integrated process, ISO certified quality controls, and transparent sourcing combine to produce a supplement that’s as demonstrably effective as it is clean and responsibly made.

Deep Dive: Peer‑Reviewed Research

Antioxidant Power

Phycocyanin's ability to scavenge alkoxyl, hydroxyl and peroxyl radicals and to react with peroxinitrite and hypochlorous acid gives it a wide-ranging antioxidant activity allowing it to provide protection across the body.
Supporting evidence

Anti-Inflammatory

Providing anti-inflammatory benefits by reducing epithelial mesenchymal transition, where epithelial cells undergo multiple biochemical changes, in a process shown to contribute to the development of fibrotic diseases.
Supporting evidence

Weight Management

Phycocyanin has been shown to not only reduce adipogenesis, the process in which fat cells are created but also activates fat browning, the process where fat cells convert to thermogenesis mode.
Supporting evidence

Cardiovascular Support

Phycocyanin has been shown to reduce the increase of cardiac enzymes, correlated to damage and stress of the heart muscle during acute myocardial infarction. Reducing myonecrosis, interstitial oedema and inflammatory infiltration of the heart muscle.
Supporting evidence

Liver Health

Phycocyanin contributes to liver health by inhibiting liver lipid peroxidation due to its action as a peroxyl radical scavenger. The strong antioxidant capacity of phycocyanin has also been shown to protect against CsA-induced nephrotoxicity after liver transplants.
Supporting evidence

Kidney Support

Studies have shown that the antioxidant effect of phycocyanin can help prevent kidney disease. The reduction of oxidative stress by phycocyanin can improve kidney health during chemotherapy by preventing cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.
Supporting evidence

Brain Health

Studies show that phycocyanin may act as a neuroprotector and can be capable of reverting the damage in neurodegenerative disorders of the central nervous system. It has also shown potential in protecting the brain by preventing DNA damage by helping to stop the degradation of PARP-1 enzyme involved in the repair of DNA.

Skin & Pigmentation Balance

Phycocyanin is known to aid skin pigmentation balance by protecting against hyperpigmentation though inhibiting melanin synthesis and tyrosinase expression.
Supporting evidence

Immune booster

Phycocyanin has been proven to boost the innate immune system by enhancing natural killer cells, the lymphocytes responsible for fighting infections and cancers.
