Natural Spirulina FEM-101

Apogen® Microalgae Protein Extract is extracted from FEBICO's self-cultivated Spirulina FEM-101 microalgae strand. It is extracted through a patented extraction method, and can maintain all the beneficial active ingredients.

Apogen® Extracts

Apogen® extracted from an unique strand of spirulina will display a very beautiful blue color under normal lighting conditions. However, it will display a very unique luminous pink under LED lights due to the activities of the extract.

Apogen Microalgae Protein Powder

Apogen® Microalgae Protein Powder is a special combination of the protein combinations between the Spirulina FEM-101 cells and is uniquely different to ordinary spirulina. It is considered an important nutrition amongst microalgae, and displays a beautiful blue color.

How does Apogen® work?

Apogen® does not directly inactivate or kill viruses.Instead, findings from laboratory and preclinical studies suggest that Apogen® may help support normal cellular defense mechanisms by influencing interactions between host cells and external biological stressors, including viruses.

Bioactive Components in Apogen®:Phycobiliproteins

Phycobiliproteins are known for their antioxidant properties and have been shown in preclinical studies to support cellular responses involved in viral interaction, primarily through antioxidant and cell-protective mechanisms.

Sulfated Polysaccharides

Sulfated polysaccharides have been widely studied for their immunomodulatory activities and, in experimental models, have demonstrated the ability to support host defense mechanisms associated with viral challenges.

How does Apogen work?

Based on laboratory and preclinical research, Apogen® has been shown to support normal cellular function during viral exposure by helping maintain cellular integrity and modulating host defense responses. These supportive mechanisms focus on the host cell environment, rather than directly targeting or inactivating viruses.

Apogen® Applications

Apogen® is a water-soluble microalgae protein extract derived from natural Spirulina. It is produced under controlled conditions and is suitable for use as a nutritional ingredient in various delivery formats, including capsules, tablets, granules, solutions, powders, and chewable forms.Preclinical and formulation studies suggest that Apogen® may help support oral mucosal integrity by forming a temporary protective layer on the mucosal surface. This barrier-supporting property may help reduce external stressors, including viral exposure, and contributes to overall immune and mucosal health support.

As a daily nutritional supplement, Apogen® is available in multiple dosage forms to meet different consumer preferences.As a food ingredient, Apogen® can be incorporated into applications such as yogurt, juice, milk, ice cream, chewing gum, jelly, and confectionery products, depending on formulation needs.As a functional ingredient, Apogen® may also be supplied for customized formulations in regulated product development settings, subject to applicable local regulations.

Scientific Background and Research

Apogen® has been evaluated in peer-reviewed scientific publications and patented research, including studies published in the Journal of Medical Virology (70:119–125, 2003). These studies investigated the interaction between spirulina-derived proteins and host cells under experimental viral challenge conditions.The findings from these studies suggest that Apogen® may help support host defense mechanisms at the cellular level in experimental models.

Clinical studies investigated the use of oral Apogen® lozenges as an add-on treatment for patients with mild or moderate COVID-19 symptoms. The clinical research, conducted in collaboration with Taipei Medical University and Taipei Municipal Wan Fang Hospital, specifically tracked patients' recovery and post-infection effects.

Summary Characteristics of Apogen®

Apogen® is a 100% natural, spirulina-derived nutritional ingredient produced through quality-controlled manufacturing processes that ensure heavy metal monitoring and the absence of artificial colorants or preservatives. As a high-purity microalgae protein composition, Apogen® is associated with supporting the body’s natural defenses and maintaining immune balance during various viral challenges. Preclinical studies and experimental models suggest that its active components are involved in supporting the host's cellular protection and antioxidant activity. By contributing to normal immune regulation and overall wellness, this nutrient-dense extract serves as a specialized supplement to support the body's resilience and physiological stability.
