Spirulina and Blue Majik (sometimes called blue spirulina) are two superfoods that may look very different but are not very different from each other! Spirulina is naturally dark green in color, while Blue Majik has a stunning cyan blue color.
What’s the difference between Spirulina and Blue Majik?
Both superfoods are extracts of blue-green algae. Not to get too scientific, but there are two main compounds in blue-green algae: phycocyanin (Blue) and chlorophyll (Green). Blue Majik is essentially phycocyanin, and spirulina is essentially chlorophyll. How crazy is it that these two different superfoods both come from algae?
