C-PC phycocyanin Reagent Grade

6.1 Anti-cancer, anti-tumor.

Phycocyanin has been proved to inhibit the expansion of cancer cells. Scientists have found that phycocyanin can inhibit cancer cells significantly. It can be made as a anti-tumor adjuvant therapy to enhance the body's immune system in chemotherapy therapy.

In a scientific experiment, rats with liver cancers were fed with extracted phycocyanin. Scientists have been found that the survival rate of rats fed with phycocyanin was much higher than the control group. After 5 weeks, the treatment group had 90% survival rate, while the untreated group only had 25%. After 8weeks, 25% of the rats in the treatment group survived, and all rats in the untreated group died. This shows that oral phycocyanin can increase the survival rate of cancer-bearing organisms.

6.2 Anti-oxidant, clean free radicals

Phycocyanin can promote cell activity, remove the free radicals, improve ovarian function, andpromotethesynthesisspeedofelastininthebody. Accordingtoscientificresearches, phycocyanin has the effect of stimulating the production of red blood cell colonies, which is similar to erythropoietin (epo). It can adjust the white blood cells and increase the activity of lymphocytes. It also can increase physical stamina, promote the growth of red blood cells, enhance the body's immune function and promote body’s growth

6.3 Anti-allergy

OnJanuary 7th, 2011, the researchteam of Taiwan University published anew study and found that the purified phycocyanin had an inhibitory effect on all allergies.

6.4 Fluorescent agent and photosensitizer

Phycocyanin can be used as fluorescent agents. Its fluorescence efficacy is 30 times of ordinary fluorescein. Whenexcited by light, it can emitstrong red fluorescence, which can be used for clinical and in vitro diagnosis of tumors and cancers.It is great significance for early cancer diagnosis of cells.

Phycocyanin can be used as a new type of photosensitizer. It can significantly increase the sensitivity of cancer laser therapy. According to relevant research reports, using the phycocyanin as a photosensitizer can increase the killing rate of laser to tumor cells from 12% to 88%, and the cancer cure rate can be increased by 55%.
