Superfood Highlight: Spirulina and BlueMAJIK - What's the Difference? + Health Benefits

Spirulina and BlueMAJIK are two of the most popular algae-based superfoods — and while they look different, they actually come from the same source.

  • Spirulina → a nutrient-rich dark green algae.
  • BlueMAJIK (blue spirulina) → an extract of spirulina, where the blue pigment phycocyanin is concentrated.

This means BlueMAJIK isn’t a different algae, but a purified form of spirulina that highlights its blue antioxidant compound.

Spirulina vs. BlueMAJIK: What’s the Difference?

Blue-green algae naturally contain two main compounds:

  • Chlorophyll (green) → gives spirulina its deep green colour and many of its detoxifying properties.
  • Phycocyanin (blue) → the antioxidant protein that’s extracted to create BlueMAJIK.

So when you take spirulina, you get chlorophyll, phycocyanin, and a broad spectrum of nutrients. With BlueMAJIK, you’re focusing on the concentrated blue antioxidant benefits.
