Spirulina polysaccharide aids constipation
Polysaccharide from Spirulina platensis ameliorates diphenoxylate-induced constipation symptoms in mice.
High relevance for gut health
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.
