Main Product Advantages

(I) Health Benefits

1. Immune Support
The phycocyanin and spirulina polysaccharides in spirulina extract can enhance the body's immune function, activate macrophage activity, and promote the secretion of immunoglobulins and cytokines, thereby improving the body's antiviral ability.

2. Antioxidant
Spirulina extract is rich in phycocyanin, β-carotene, and various antioxidants. These active ingredients help reduce the damage of oxidative stress to the body and delay aging at the cellular level.

3. Metabolic Regulation
The polysaccharides can help regulate blood sugar, blood lipids, and blood pressure. Studies have shown that appropriate supplementation with spirulina preparations helps improve fasting blood glucose levels and insulin sensitivity.

4. Anti-fatigue
Spirulina is a natural alkaline food, rich in high-quality protein and trace elements, which helps relieve physical fatigue and aids in exercise recovery.

(II) Skin Care Benefits

1. Hydration and Moisturizing
Spirulina extract is skin-friendly and can form a moisturizing film on the skin, reducing moisture loss, improving dry skin, and also improving dark circles. 2. Promotes Repair
The proteins in spirulina extract help promote tissue regeneration, accelerate skin metabolism, cell renewal and wound healing, and improve skin texture.

3. Anti-aging
The antioxidants in spirulina can eliminate free radicals, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and delay skin aging.

4. Detoxification
Spirulina extract helps eliminate toxins, inhibits excessive bacterial growth, and reduces problems such as acne and pimples.

Main Application Areas

1. Food and Beverages

Spirulina extract/powder is frequently used as a natural colorant in beverages, yogurt, jellies, and alcoholic drinks. In baked goods, spirulina extract/powder imparts a natural blue-green hue to cakes, cookies, and bread. It's important to note that this colorant is sensitive to high temperatures; adjustments to the hue are necessary to compensate for color fading during baking.

In March 2026, the US FDA announced an indefinite postponement of the effective date of its final order expanding the use of spirulina extract as a colorant additive in food.

2. Health Products and Nutritional Supplements

Spirulina Extract Powder is widely used as a dietary supplement in health products targeting immune enhancement, fatigue relief, and blood sugar and lipid regulation. Common dosage forms include tablets, capsules, and powders.

3. Cosmetics and Personal Care

Spirulina extract possesses antioxidant and moisturizing properties, making it widely used in anti-aging and moisturizing skincare products, commonly found in creams, lotions, serums, masks, facial soaps, and scrubs.

Further Information: Spirulina Extract Promotes Hair Growth

In 2025, Inha University in South Korea published an experiment in *Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering* on the research of spirulina extract promoting hair growth. The experiment evaluated the impact of different extraction methods on the efficacy of hair loss prevention, and the mechanism by which spirulina extract promotes hair growth.

In vitro experiments:

* Anti-inflammatory properties were assessed using RAW 264.7 macrophages.

* 5α-reductase inhibitory activity was assessed using dermal papilla cells.

In vivo animal experiments:

* Six-week-old female C57BL/6J mice were selected and their back hair was removed after 5 days of acclimatization.

* Mice were divided into different treatment groups, and 200 μL of Spirulina aqueous extract (25 μg/mL), Spirulina ethanol extract (25 μg/mL), and finasteride (1 mg/mL) (positive control) were applied to the hair-removed skin area daily for 15 minutes.

* Treatment continued for 11 days. On day 12, skin and spleen tissues were collected, and the hair growth effect and cytokine expression levels were evaluated by PCR analysis.

Conclusion: On day 12 after treatment, compared with the negative control group, the Spirulina extract group showed a significant hair growth promoting effect in the animal model.

Mechanisms for promoting hair growth/preventing hair loss: ① Anti-inflammatory effect (improves scalp microenvironment); ② Inhibition of 5α-reductase (reduces dihydrotestosterone production); ③ Upregulation of β-catenin (activates hair follicle growth signaling pathway).

Differences between extraction methods:

* Aqueous extract: Has significant anti-inflammatory effect.

* Ethanol extract: Superior to the water extract in inhibiting 5α-reductase activity and can activate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway (a key regulatory pathway for hair growth).

This study demonstrates that Spirulina extract is a multifunctional natural ingredient with promising applications in anti-inflammatory skincare and hair loss treatment.
