The Wonder Molecule Called Phycocyanin

[Believeitheals]

i'm not sure if this information has been posted but it is a something new that has been found from research on cannabis. This phycocyanin has the ability to cure many liver ailments and even regrow liver tissue.

Nope, I haven't posted about this, it's new to me. Thanks for posting!

Have you used this?

C-phycocyanin: a biliprotein with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects

 

Apparently it's a COX-2 inhibitor similar to that of the acidic forms of cannabinoids (ie THCA).

no i havn't used it but came across it watching of all things Urban grower videos covering the seattle high times cup. this company was doing research and found this protein in cannabis that can be taken by simply juicing the plant

That's interesting. I haven't seen anything published on it being in cannabis, but it is associated with chlorophyll so I wouldn't doubt it. That would mean that in addition to the acidic forms of cannabinoids being COX enzyme inhibitors, so is this.

 

c-Phycocyanin is also found in algae, seaweed, and other sources. You can purchase pills of it. The link you posted is from a company that sells it.    

 

(edit: I looked but was unable to find a paper that has identified c-Phycocyanin in cannabis.)
