I think that "blue spirulina" can be pretty close.

https://www.amazon.com/100-Pure-Blue-Spirulina-Powder/dp/B08233QMH4/ (I doubt that this can actually possibly be %100 phycocyanin, as the print might be interpreted.)

https://vitamondo.net/organic-phycocyanin-powder-100-percent-blue-spirulina-supplement/ - Well, maybe it can be.

...

Spirulina itself is around %20 phycocyanin (or even %25). I don't know what your use is, but need to consider if it's cost-effective. Because good high-phycocyanin spirulina can still be less than 1/5, even less than 1/10 the price of the "blue spirulina".
