Description
Spirulina is a blue-green algae from the genus Arthrospira .
It contains several nutrients: fat-soluble vitamins (A, E, and K), fatty acids (DHA, EPA), beta-carotene, and minerals. It's also a source of protein, but it lacks high enough levels of some of the amino acids that your body needs to function at its best. Since spirulina comes from bacteria (cyanobacteria), it may be considered a protein source for vegans.
It's also important to note that the B12 in spirulina is in a different form as "pseudovitamin B12" than the type typically absorbable by your body.You'll likely need to look elsewhere for your B12 needs, especially if you follow a vegetarian or vegan way of eating, which can be low in B12. Lower levels of B12 are also found in adults over 60.And why's B12 important? Because your body needs B12 to make red blood cells. And it's also crucial for brain and nerve cell development. Not getting enough B12 can cause tiredness, memory loss, depression, and even different types of anemia.
Active Ingredient(s): Phycocyanins, fatty acids, protein, vitamins, minerals
Function
Potential Health Benefits of Spirulina
Spirulina is a potent source of nutrients. It contains a powerful plant-based protein called phycocyanin. Research shows this may have antioxidant, pain-relief, anti-inflammatory, and brain-protective properties.
This antioxidant and other nutrients in spirulina are linked with several health benefits:
Anti-Cancer Properties
Many antioxidants in spirulina have anti-inflammatory effects in the body. Chronic inflammation contributes to cancer and other diseases.
Phycocyanin — the a plant pigment that gives spirulina its blue-green color — has been found to not only reduce inflammation in the body, but also block tumor growth and kill cancer cells. The immune-enhancing protein is being studied for its potential in cancer treatment.
Heart Health
Research has found that the protein in spirulina can reduce the body’s absorption of cholesterol, lowering cholesterol levels. This helps keep your arteries clear, reducing strain on your heart that can lead to heart disease and stroke-causing blood clots.
Its protein also reduces triglyceride levels. These are fats in your blood that can contribute to the hardening of arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and pancreatitis.
Spirulina increases nitric oxide production in your body as well, which helps your blood vessels relax. Studies show that this can reduce your blood pressure, lowering your heart disease risk.
Allergy Relief
The anti-inflammatory effect caused by spirulina’s antioxidants may help people with allergies caused by pollen, animal hair, and dust. One study found that symptoms like congestion, sneezing, and itching were reduced significantly in participants, suggesting that spirulina may be a good alternative to allergy medications.
Immune System Support
Spirulina is rich in a range of vitamins and minerals essential for maintaining a healthy immune system, like vitamins E, C, and B6. Research finds that spirulina also boosts the production of white blood cells and antibodies that fight viruses and bacteria in your body.
Laboratory studies show that spirulina can fight herpes, flu, and HIV — though much more research is needed to test these effects in humans.
May Maintain Eye and Oral Health
Spirulina is concentrated with zeaxanthin, a plant pigment that may reduce the risk of cataracts and age-related vision loss.
Its antibacterial properties may also help promote good oral health. One study found that spirulina-enhanced mouthwash reduced dental plaque and the risk of gingivitis in participants. Another study showed it lowered the risk of oral cancer in people who chew tobacco.
Applications
1. For some people with unbalanced nutrition in the body or those who use a lot of physical and mental energy, it is recommended to eat an appropriate amount of spirulina tablets.
2. Some people who have symptoms such as anemia and insomnia due to long-term use of some drugs or chemotherapy.
3. Some people with poor digestive system and slow digestion are advised to eat appropriate amount of spirulina tablets, some of the ingredients contained in it have a certain effect on the digestive system.
4. People who work in an oxygen-deficient environment and people with high blood lipids and cholesterol;
5. People with tumors and diabetes;
6. People who often eat fried food or seafood.
