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.

We examined the impact of C-Phycocyanin (C-Pc), derived from Spirulina, on Multiple Sclerosis in a mouse model. By administering varying doses of C-Pc alongside a standard treatment, we observed notable improvements in reducing inflammation and preserving spinal cord tissue.
The results indicated that C-Pc positively influenced health outcomes by modulating genes related to remyelination and protecting nerve cells. Overall, our findings suggest that C-Pc shows promise as a beneficial treatment for autoimmune conditions like MS.

We examined how spirulina can help reduce liver damage caused by methotrexate, a drug used in cancer and autoimmune disorders. In our study with 32 male rats, we divided them into groups to assess the effects of spirulina versus methotrexate alone.
We recorded significant liver injury and immune system suppression after methotrexate treatment. However, when we pre-treated the rats with spirulina, we observed improvements in liver and spleen health, including decreased inflammation and liver enzyme levels. Spirulina also boosted immune function, highlighting its potential benefits for those affected by the side effects of methotrexate.

Immunity for free! My family has experienced significant pain due to an autoimmune disorder. After some time, I began using spirulina powder from ayherbe, and remarkably, the pain subsided. I recommended it to family, and now we all feel much better, with improved blood health. I will continue ordering!

Initially, I tried to consume the spirulina directly, but I found it quite unpleasant. However, I did notice a surge in energy and it accelerated my recovery from a persistent cold. I might opt for tablets next time.

Anemia relief
I previously suffered from severe anaemia, but after adding this spirulina to my smoothie, my symptoms improved. After finishing one box, I ordered another, as my fatigue, dizziness, and hair loss have disappeared.

We explored how C-Phycocyanin (C-PC) and Phycocyanobilin (PCB) might help in remyelination, particularly for conditions like Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and ischemic stroke.
Our findings in animal models suggest that C-PC can support white matter recovery. The study also examined how PCB promotes recovery in strokes by influencing regulatory T cells and reducing inflammation.
While the initial results are promising, more clinical trials are necessary to truly understand their potential in human patients.

Spirulina treatment shows promise
We aimed to explore whether oral administration of C-Phycocyanin and Phycocyanobilin, derived from spirulina, can improve conditions in models of autoimmune encephalomyelitis.
Our findings showed that these compounds significantly improved clinical signs and motor function in treated rats. Additionally, they helped reduce markers of oxidative stress and neuroinflammation.
Importantly, this suggests that spirulina-based treatments could enhance quality of life for those with conditions like multiple sclerosis, representing a promising avenue for developing new therapies.

We explored how spirulina extracts might protect against the harmful effects of a type 1 diabetes model. Our research looked at how these extracts impacted both cell cultures and diabetic rats.
We observed that spirulina significantly reduced cell damage caused by inflammatory cytokines, lowering nitric oxide production, and suppressing apoptosis. In diabetic mice, spirulina improved insulin levels and reduced glucose, indicating a protective role for pancreatic β-cells.
Overall, spirulina shows promise as a supportive treatment for type 1 diabetes, due to its antioxidant properties.

A very good product! As a vegan, I had cravings due to an autoimmune disorder and previously required B12 shots. With this product, I have reduced cravings and no longer need the shots. The B12 levels are just below average, but I feel well. It has been a salvation for me.

Unpalatable experience
The benefits are well-known, especially for those with anaemia, but I found the taste unbearable. Therefore, I am switching back to pills for easier consumption.

We examined 230 patients with multiple sclerosis in the picturesque Transcarpathian region. The study revealed that both men and women were impacted similarly, with a higher prevalence near the Carpathian Mountains among individuals averaging 35 years old. Notably, we found that spirulina intake appears to help extend remission periods for those with this autoimmune disorder. While more research is needed, these promising results highlight spirulina's potential benefits for managing symptoms in multiple sclerosis patients.
