Cyanophyta Extracts
Desert Lake Technologies' proprietary extracts are derived from cyanophyta, which is wildcrafted or cultivated for safe, nutritious human consumption. We appreciate the opportunity to provide you with innovative products and exceptional service.
Cyanophyta, also known as cyanobacteria or blue green algae, are believed to be the earth's first oxygen-producing organisms. There are an estimated 2000 cyanobacteria species with many living in freshwater and marine habitats. They have an elaborate and highly organized system of internal membranes, which they use to capture light for photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which energy from sunlight is captured by an organism to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) the primary source of energy for all living systems.
Desert Lake Technologies' proprietary extracts are mechanically extracted from raw cyanophyta material utilizing physical separation techniques and specialized particle sizing technology. The utilization of the DLT Hydro•DriTM proprietary drying process results in the cost-efficient production of high quality extracts containing a bounty of natural, vital nutrients.
CyaninPlusTM is a proprietary cyanophyta extract derived from Arthrospira platensis. The primary component of CyaninPlusTM is Phycocyanin (PC), which is known to act as an antioxidant and a selective COX-2 inhibitor. In addition to Phycocyanin, CyaninPlusTM contains anti-inflammatory compounds different from PC with complementary anti-inflammatory properties.
Phycocyanin is a stunning blue pigment that has a variety of uses in the medical imaging, cosmeceutical and food industries. The purity of the pigment determines the quality of the finished product and its applications. Material with the highest percentage of Phycocyanin is typically used in the medical imaging and pharmaceutical industries. A lower percentage of Phycocyanin may be used as a colorant in foods, beverages, confectionaries, or as a nutritional ingredient.
As a free-standing product, or blended in a nutritional supplement formula with synergistic ingredients, the new CyaninPlusTM, is a unique, natural extract that promotes efficient inflammation modulating and pain-relieving activity.
