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.

Hawaiian spirulina is the best food in the world! I had problems with constipation, but this resolved it immediately after my first try. It also boosts my energy significantly, reducing my cravings for chocolate and coffee. I feel cleaner inside and my skin looks amazing. You might experience mild side effects initially, but they will pass. I highly recommend trying it; you won't regret it!

Spirulina is suitable for anyone with gastrointestinal issues such as ulcers, gastritis, or constipation, as well as for those with anaemia. I’ve taken spirulina for my anaemia, and I've seen an increase in my hemoglobin levels. I recommend reading about spirulina's benefits and considering it for your health.

A month ago, I faced palpitations and was diagnosed with anaemia. Thankfully, I discovered a natural supplement that works better than iron pills, which often caused constipation. This vegetarian iron supplement of high-quality algae is effective for my condition.

Eases constipation

My childhood experience with Spirulina was great, so I bought it again. It has improved my intestinal health more than other supplements. After three days, my bowel movement became regular and smooth, and I felt less fatigued. My husband, who is also taking it, is feeling better as well. I plan to continue using it.

I'm 53 years old and found this product helpful. Initially, I struggled to take spirulina, but after learning how to consume it properly, I now enjoy it. I've noticed an improvement in my complexion, and my constipation has ceased. I even lost a little weight without realising it. I believe this is a worthwhile investment for health and happiness.

Constipation improved

The taste is quite acceptable compared to other spirulina brands. I didn't notice the blue pigment typical for higher quality spirulina, but this green variety worked well for my constipation, especially when combined with my chlorella blend.

Effective detox aid
I bought this product based on positive reviews. I take numerous supplements and heard it aids detoxing and stubborn constipation. I’m on day two of trying it, and it seems effective, although the taste is quite hard to drink!

No constipation issues
Good product. It does not cause constipation, but it’s important to drink plenty of water while taking it.
