Natural antihistamine
Most Useful Review
Works wonders for my seasonal allergies. I used to rely on Zyrtec and nasal sprays, but now I just take Spirulina and a probiotic. While I tried reducing my Spirulina intake, I noticed a return of symptoms, but resuming my normal dosage quickly improved my condition. This stuff works for allergies!

Acne improvement
Most Useful Review
The taste and smell of Spirulina is quite unpleasant, reminiscent of a musty swamp. After a week of drinking it, I developed acne. My doctor explained this was a detox process and advised me to continue. Initially, I experienced some nasal and ocular discomfort. However, acne disappeared almost immediately after continuing the supplement. I've noticed it’s easier to get up in the morning, and I wake up without problems at all. If you're curious, please indicate, and I will update this review later with further results.

Spirulina boosts iron absorption effectively
Effect of microalgae as iron supplements on iron-deficiency anemia in rats.
Most Relevant Research
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.

Spirulina improves lipid profiles effectively
The effect of Spirulina supplementation on lipid profile: GRADE-assessed systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of data from randomized controlled trials.
Most Relevant Research
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.

Spirulina polysaccharide aids constipation
Polysaccharide from Spirulina platensis ameliorates diphenoxylate-induced constipation symptoms in mice.
Most Relevant Research
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.

Improved bowel movements
Most Useful Review
I've been addicted to Spirulina powder for 2-3 years, and my skin condition and bowel movements have certainly improved. This one has a sufficient capacity, and I don't find it overly addictive. I try to consume 1 teaspoon in my miso soup each day, which I believe is the best way to enjoy it.

Fatigue disappeared
Most Useful Review
This bio supplement is fantastic. I’ve ordered it multiple times, and my chronic fatigue has disappeared since starting it. I take it twice daily in powder form, as spirulina is better absorbed this way, though it does have a stronger smell of algae. For those sensitive to the taste, I’d recommend tablets instead, but the effect tends to be weaker, from my own experience.

Allergy headache relief
Most Useful Review
This works for my seasonal allergies. I used to take Zyrtec and nasal sprays, but I now rely on Spirulina and a Probiotic instead. I usually take four capsules, and when I tried reducing it, sneezing, stuffiness, and headaches flared up. Returning to my usual dose improved things significantly within a day.
