Uses of Spirulina :
Spirulina has fat-soluble vitamins (like A, E, and K), beta carotene and minerals, protein, and phycocyanins (pigments that produce a blue color and have antioxidant effects9
Scientists have studied, but not necessarily proven, spirulina’s impact on different areas of health, including but not limited to:
- Antioxidant
- Blood pressure
- Blood sugar control
- Cancer
- Cholesterol
- Liver health in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
- Metabolic syndrome
- Obesity
Antioxidant capacity
According to a meta-analysis (a collection of research studies) of nine studies with a total of 415 people, spirulina increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC).
Getting antioxidants from our foods can help reduce some of the inflammation in our bodies. To amp up antioxidants in your diet, try including a variety of the most nutrient-dense foods that you can source and afford – and they don’t have to be organic – like whole grains, fruit, and vegetables to help increase your body’s antioxidant capacity and reduce inflammation in your body. Just don’t rely on spirulina alone.
Blood pressure
The scientists said that spirulina lowered systolic blood pressure by about 4.59 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and diastolic blood pressure by 7.02 millimeters of mercury.13 Systolic pressure (top number) measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats. Diastolic pressure (bottom number) measures the pressure your arteries experience between each heartbeat. The biggest blood pressure-lowering in the studies was seen in people who had high blood pressure already.
Blood sugar control
Over time, blood sugar spikes that are left uncontrolled can lead to damage to your body. Worst case, in certain conditions like diabetes, that can look like having to surgically remove parts of your body (amputation), heart attacks, kidney failure, or stroke, which can lead to paralysis of parts of your body.While spirulina really would not likely be able to correct severe damage from uncontrolled blood sugar over time by itself, it has lowered blood sugar levels in human studies. And why? It could be its protein and fiber content, or perhaps it is phycocyanin’s ability to help with inflammation. Scientists are still figuring it out.
Cholesterol levels
Scientists conducted a meta-analysis of spirulina’s effects on cholesterol levels that had seven controlled trials for a total of 522 total people.10 They found that spirulina reduced total cholesterol (by 46.76 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL)), low-density lipoprotein (LDL by 41.32 milligrams per deciliter), and triglycerides (by 44.23 milligrams per deciliter). It also increased the “good” cholesterol or high-density lipoprotein (HDL by 6.06 milligrams per deciliter). Again, why did spirulina do this? We’re not sure, but scientists think it may be due to its nutritional profile (fiber, fatty acids like DHA and EPA), antioxidant capacity, or a combination of these.
Common Side Effects
Spirulina is generally safe, but some people have reported the following with its use:1
- Allergy
- Headache
- Muscle pain
- Sweating
- Trouble sleeping
