True or False? Everything you need to know about Phycocyanin
In liquid form, phycocyanin is more effective than the lyophilized form.
❌ Liquid phycocyanin is more fragile because it degrades quickly upon contact with light, oxygen or heat.
The lyophilized form, on the other hand, offers better stability and preserves its active properties for longer.
The higher the phycocyanin dosage, the better.
❌Excessive dosage is not necessarily more effective. Studies suggest that appropriate doses, often between 100 and 500 mg per day as needed, are sufficient to achieve beneficial effects without waste.
Phycocyanin can replace medical treatment.
❌Phycocyanin is a dietary supplement, not a medication. It should never replace prescribed medical treatment, but can be used as nutritional support under medical supervision.
Phycocyanin is effective from the first doses.
🤔 Some effects can be felt quickly, but for more advanced needs (sporting effort, convalescence, fatigue, allergic conditions, fragile mood), a prolonged treatment is often necessary.
Phycocyanin is safe for everyone.
🤔 It is well tolerated at recommended doses, but certain precautions apply.
For example, in case of autoimmune diseases or specific allergies, it is best to consult a doctor before consuming it.
It is only useful for athletes.
❌ Although highly prized by athletes for recovery and muscle tone, phycocyanin also offers benefits for people convalescing, those suffering from chronic fatigue or simply seeking antioxidant support.
The blue color of phycocyanin indicates its concentration.
✅The characteristic blue color is a visual indicator of phycocyanin concentration, although purity and extraction method are also key factors.
