Spirulina Powder: Overview
Spirulina is an organism that grows in both fresh and salt water. It is a type of cyanobacteria, which is a family of single-celled microbes that are often referred to as blue-green algae. Spirulina is among the world’s most popular food supplements and super foods. It is loaded with various nutrients and antioxidants that may benefit your body and brain.Uses and Benefits of Spirulina Powder
Spirulina is used by some people to help with allergies and asthma. Others believe it will help fight infections. Some people believe it will help with cancer. Spirulina is used by some people to help with diabetes or high cholesterol levels. Others may use it to help with mouth sores. It may also be used to help with weight loss. Spirulina is sold in the United States as a health food or supplement. Myriad claims exist for its immunostimulatory, hypolipidemic, antiviral, and anticancer effect.
Spirulina is Extremely High in Many Nutrients:Spirulina was consumed by the ancient Aztecs but became popular again when NASA proposed that it could be grown in space for use by astronauts.
A standard daily dose of spirulina is 1–3 grams, but doses of up to 10 grams per day have been used effectively. This tiny alga is packed with nutrients. A single tablespoon (7 grams) of dried spirulina powder contains:
Losing weight:People can usually lose weight if they eat fewer calories than they use. Spirulina is a high-nutrient, low-calorie food that contains a lot of nutrition in a small amount of powder. Introducing spirulina to the diet may help people lose weight without losing nutrition.
Improving gut health:Spirulina can be digested easily because of its structure where the cells do not have tough, fibrous walls. But can consuming it improve gut health. Spirulina does not contain much fiber, so it is essential to include other gut-healthful, high-fiber foods in the diet.
Managing diabetes:Spirulina shows promise as a way to manage the symptoms of diabetes, many results suggest that spirulina shows promise as a food to support type 2 diabetes management.
Lowering cholesterol:Studies suggest that spirulina supplements can reduce total cholesterol.
Taking spirulina extract may help to lower cholesterol levels. Cholesterol is an unhealthful fat in a person’s blood that medical experts link to heart disease. Researchers found that taking 1 g of spirulina every day reduced participant’s total cholesterol after 3 months.
Reducing blood pressure:As discussed above, spirulina may lower cholesterol, and there is also evidence that it could help control a person’s blood pressure. A small-scale study found that eating spirulina regularly for 3 months reduced people’s blood pressure when they were overweight and had hypertension.
Preventing heart disease:High blood pressure and cholesterol levels are both linked to heart disease. As spirulina may reduce both of these risk factors, is it possible that it could help prevent heart disease. This might be due to their cholesterol-lowering, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidative effects.
Boosting metabolism:Taking spirulina may help boost a person’s metabolism. A higher metabolic rate may make a person feel as if they have more energy. It may also increase the number of calories they burn each day, which may aid weight loss. People who took 6 g of spirulina a day experienced beneficial metabolic effects, alongside weight loss and better health-related quality of life.
Reducing allergy symptoms:When a person has allergies to pollen, dust, or pets, the inside of their nose may swell. This reaction is called allergic rhinitis. There is some evidence that spirulina could help improve the symptoms of this condition. Spirulina can relieve nasal inflammation and reduce histamine in the body. Compared to a placebo, it may reduce the symptoms of allergic rhinitis, including:
Antitoxic action:In certain parts of the world, people are at risk of poisoning from contaminated drinking water and other sources of pollutants. Early research suggests that spirulina may offer a way to treat those affected. It is found that Spirulina had antitoxic properties that could counteract pollutants in the body, including:
