Spirulina Blue Extra Mini Tabs
Lifestream Spirulina Blue Extra is a high-strength, certified organic blue spirulina supplement that sets itself apart from standard spirulina by the concentration of phycocyanin it contains - 23%, which is approximately 50% more than other spirulina products on the market. This naturally blue pigment compound is the key active constituent responsible for spirulina's antioxidant, immune, and anti-inflammatory properties. Alongside phycocyanin, the formula is naturally rich in bioavailable iron, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B3, the omega-6 fatty acid GLA, Zeaxanthin, Chlorophyll, Carotenoids, Beta Carotene, and a full profile of essential amino acids - making it a broad-spectrum nutritional superfood in tablet form. Benefits
- 23% phycocyanin - approximately 50% more than other spirulinas - phycocyanin is the blue pigment compound that gives blue spirulina its characteristic colour and is the primary driver of its antioxidant, immune, and anti-inflammatory properties; at 23%, this formula contains significantly more than standard spirulina supplements
- Immune system support - phycocyanin supports immune function, helping the body respond to infectious agents and environmental stressors; it also provides hepatoprotective benefits and supports the body's natural detoxification processes
- Natural source of iron and Vitamin B12 - iron and Vitamin B12, both from a natural, highly bioavailable whole-food spirulina source rather than synthetic forms
- Energy support without stimulants - Vitamin B3 supports healthy energy metabolism, while the broad nutrient profile supports sustained energy levels and reduces reliance on caffeine or sugar for daily energy
- Muscle recovery and performance support - the combination of complete protein, iron, Vitamin B12, GLA, and antioxidant phycocyanin makes this particularly suited to active individuals supporting recovery from training and physical exertion
- Antioxidant protection against oxidative stress - phycocyanin and Zeaxanthin work together to provide cellular protection against free radical damage, supporting eye health, neurological health, and joint health through anti-inflammatory action
- Stress resilience support - the unique combination of phycocyanin, Vitamin B3, GLA, and Zeaxanthin is particularly well-suited to those under increased physical or emotional stress or with increased immune demand
- Naturally rich in essential nutrients
- Complete protein profile - spirulina is approximately 60% complete protein and contains 8 of the 9 essential amino acids, making it one of the most nutrient-dense plant protein sources available
- Naturally coated with phycocyanin and vanilla - tablets have a pleasant mild taste from the natural vanilla and phycocyanin coating, making them easy to take consistently

More Information
Lifestream Spirulina Blue Extra starts with the same base superfood as standard spirulina - Arthrospira platensis, the cyanobacterium that is one of the most nutrient-dense foods on earth - and takes it a step further through careful cultivation practices specifically designed to maximise phycocyanin concentration.
Phycocyanin is the blue pigment protein that gives blue spirulina its distinctive colour and is the compound responsible for many of spirulina's most studied health benefits. At 23% phycocyanin content, Lifestream Spirulina Blue Extra contains approximately 50% more of this key active compound than standard spirulina products, which typically contain around 15–16% phycocyanin. This difference is achieved not through extraction or isolation, but through growing the spirulina under controlled conditions that naturally encourage higher phycocyanin production - meaning the final product retains the full natural bioavailability of the whole-food matrix rather than an
