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.

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.

Helps with constipation

If iron is contraindicated or the child has issues like iron constipation, consider spirulina to raise hemoglobin. The taste is quite unpleasant, so it's best to mask it or teach the child to drink it properly.
