We examined the impact of spirulina and pentoxyfilline on oral submucous fibrosis, a condition affecting many in Asia. In our study, we randomly divided 40 patients into two groups: one received pentoxyfilline and the other spirulina for three months. While both treatments showed significant improvement, spirulina emerged as the superior option, notably reducing burning sensations without any adverse effects. In contrast, pentoxyfilline caused side effects, including stomach bloating and nausea. Our findings suggest spirulina could be a valuable addition to managing oral submucous fibrosis.

I'm updating my previous review: Mixed with apple juice, I can't taste the flavour! Although I don't feel an energy boost, I believe this has certainly helped colds go away faster! I noticed my cold improved days faster when I tried this while unwell. I highly recommend this product! In my initial review, I expressed dislike for the taste, and I found it ruins the flavour of other beverages.

Hawaiian spirulina is the best food in the world! I struggle with my bowel movements and often experience constipation, but this took care of it immediately upon my first try! Within minutes, I felt a difference! It gives me an enormous amount of energy; although I'm a huge chocolate and coffee fan, my cravings have diminished, and I feel energised all day without hunger. You could live off this! It also improved my skin significantly. Combined with Yaeyama chlorella, it’s the best thing for my body. I feel cleaner from the inside, yet I did experience some side effects initially, which disappeared after a few days. Please try this; you won’t regret it! Thank you, iHerb!

We explored the effects of spirulan, derived from blue-green algae, on blood clots through in vitro and in vivo tests. Our findings showed that spirulan exhibits notable antithrombotic properties, effectively breaking down fibrin and reducing the action of certain clotting proteins.
Tests indicated successful interactions with blood clots and demonstrated its potential to prevent clot formation in animal models. Overall, spirulan shows promise as a natural agent for tackling thrombosis-related conditions, suggesting it could play a significant role in future treatments.

Replacing dinner with spirulina is not the same as indulging in poppy seed buns, but if you truly care for your health, it's a viable option. I find spirulina quite pleasant, considering it's a glass of green liquid with a distinct grassy aroma. It's a treasure trove of vitamins, and I don’t see the point in taking it in capsule form. My dog loves it too; he dances with joy when I take it out. We have had no gastrointestinal issues, such as bloating or heartburn, from spirulina. I always warm it slightly for better digestion. I consistently buy from this brand as it has become an essential part of my diet.

I purchased this spirulina a second time, previously in pill form. I'm very pleased with the results! My health has improved, with less pelvic pain. After a break, I realised my condition was excellent due to spirulina. Upon resuming intake—now in powder form twice daily—I felt more energetic. The large container should be stored in the fridge after opening. I highly recommend it for health benefits!

We explored the potential of a spirulina-derived compound, chlorin e6 trimethylester, to treat cancer cells and acne. After synthesizing the compound, we tested its effectiveness against Hela cancer cells and the acne bacteria, Propionibacterium acnes. Our results showed that higher concentrations of the compound significantly reduced cell survival and colony formation in both cancer and acne bacteria. This suggests that chlorin e6 could serve as a promising treatment option for both conditions through photodynamic therapy.

We examined how a polysaccharide from Spirulina platensis could alleviate constipation and impact gut health in mice. After treating diphenoxylate-induced constipation with varying doses of the polysaccharide, we observed improvements in defecation patterns and a boost in beneficial gut bacteria.
The treatment led to increased activity of acetyl cholinesterase and improved intestinal villus health. Importantly, the study suggests that this polysaccharide could have a role in constipation therapies, though results stem from animal research.

A miracle healing powder! I find anything green hard to consume, but mixing it with food or juice (perhaps chasing it with bacon?) makes it tolerable. The benefits of spirulina are remarkable! My cat had a cancerous tumour on his neck, and after adding this to his food, the tumour seems to have shrunk in just a week! The lump on his neck has vanished! I've heard spirulina can shrink tumours, and the quality of this product must be exceptional to work so quickly. My other cat seems more active after I've given him this as well!

We investigated the effects of spirulina platensis on collagen-induced arthritis in rats. Over 25 days, treatment with spirulina significantly reduced peripheral sensitization and improved motor function.
It also demonstrated neuroprotective effects by lowering the accumulation of certain proteins in the spinal cord, which is linked to nerve protection from inflammation.
Our findings highlight the potential of spirulina in managing symptoms of arthritis, although further research is needed to confirm its effectiveness in autoimmune disorders in humans.

Spirulina improves lipid profiles effectively
We explored the impact of Spirulina supplementation on cardiovascular health by analyzing data from randomized controlled trials. Our findings were based on a thorough review that included over a thousand participants across 20 studies.
The results showed that Spirulina effectively reduced levels of bad cholesterol (LDL-C), total cholesterol (TC), and triglycerides (TG), while boosting levels of good cholesterol (HDL-C). Overall, incorporating Spirulina into our diets might be a helpful strategy for improving our lipid profiles and supporting heart health.

We explored the effects of spirulina supplementation on the health of Zambian infants. In a randomized trial, 501 infants were given either soya-maize porridge alone or the same porridge with spirulina for a year.
While physical growth was similar in both groups, those who received spirulina experienced a notable decrease in coughing and showed improved motor milestones, such as walking independently.
This suggests that spirulina can play a role in reducing respiratory issues and enhancing motor development in infants, making it a promising addition to complementary feeding.

We explored the effects of Spirulina supplementation on weight loss through a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials.
By analyzing data from various databases, we found that Spirulina significantly reduces body weight, particularly in obese participants.
On average, obese individuals lost about 2.06 kg, while overweight participants lost about 1.28 kg. Additionally, Spirulina contributed to reductions in body fat percentage and waist circumference, even though it didn't impact body mass index or waist-to-hip ratio.

We explored how spirulina impacts mast cell-mediated allergic reactions. In our investigation, we found that spirulina significantly inhibited both systemic and local allergic responses in rats, completely blocking reactions induced by compound 48/80 when given in certain doses.
Additionally, we saw that spirulina reduced histamine levels and inhibited mast cell functions, which typically promote allergic reactions. These findings suggest that spirulina has a promising role in mitigating immediate-type allergies, both in laboratory settings and potentially for future practical applications.

Spirulina boosts iron absorption effectively
We aimed to explore the potential of microalgae, particularly Spirulina, as a solution for iron-deficiency anemia. In a study with rats, different microalgal diets were tested to evaluate their effects on hemoglobin levels.
Our findings showed that rats fed high concentrations of Spirulina had the best hemoglobin regeneration, outperforming other groups. Notably, Spirulina provided more intestinal nanosized iron than other microalgal variations. This indicates that Spirulina could be an effective iron supplement for addressing anemia.

We assessed the effects of spirulina and pentoxyfilline on patients with oral submucous fibrosis, a precancerous condition affecting the mouth. Our study involved 40 patients, randomly assigned to receive either pentoxyfilline or spirulina for three months.
Both treatments led to improvements in mouth opening, burning sensation, and tongue protrusion. However, spirulina notably reduced burning sensation without any side effects, unlike pentoxyfilline, which caused nausea and other issues. We found spirulina to be a promising treatment option in managing this condition.
