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 explored the impact of a probiotic combined with spirulina on acne in a 12-week clinical trial. This double-blind, placebo-controlled study involved patients aged 12 to 30 with acne vulgaris.
Those taking the probiotic experienced notable improvements, with 50% reporting reduced symptoms compared to 29.41% in the placebo group. Significant decreases in non-inflammatory acne lesions were observed in the probiotic group, suggesting effective treatment.
Overall, the probiotic combination appeared well-tolerated and beneficial in managing acne vulgaris.

Redness reduction
This spirulina is miraculous! My face usually turns red after consuming red foods and citrus, but by the fourth day, all the redness has vanished. My complexion has evened out without spots, and my acne has cleared up impressively. I suggest drinking it on an empty stomach; add spirulina first, then warm water. Allow it to brew for a few minutes until fully dissolved.

Effective acne solution
At 38, I still struggle with problem skin, akin to a teenager. Spirulina has nearly eliminated my acne, and I've noticed bonus benefits like enhanced hair and nail growth. It’s the best I've tried. Mixing it with liquid honey masks the taste and smell, making it easy to consume with water. A fantastic product!

Cleared adult acne
7 people found this helpful
This is a great product, but shipping was not up to par. I enjoy using Nutrex Spirulina powder, although it has a swamp-like taste that takes a bit of getting used to. Initially unimpressed, I eventually found it gave me more energy and helped clear up my adult acne, which was just a couple of spots.
