Spirulina is filled with proteins and has many healing powers. It also contains vitamins, minerals, calcium, iron, and antioxidants. It has been recognized as one of the most nutritionally complete superfoods through all the benefits it offers.

Spirulina is a great source of nutrients. It has cardiovascular benefits by lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels. It protects against heart disease by lowering LDL “bad” cholesterol and raising HDL “good” cholesterol. It also reduces the chance of stroke, anemia, and improves diabetes.

The antioxidant benefits are evident: spirulina detoxifies heavy metals in the body, phycocyanin, the component that gives spirulina its blue-green color, is an anti-inflammatory with strong antioxidant effects that can prevent the production of inflammatory molecules.

In general, it boosts the immune system and helps prevent the common cold and other diseases. It can treat sinus issues by releasing histamine, consequently fighting allergies in general. Spirulina effectively eliminates candida, a fungal microbiota that can be found in the mouth, intestines, and vagina. It can also provide lifestyle boosts by increasing energy and speed up weight loss.

Spirulina encourages weight loss by curbing hunger, being nutrient-dense, and improving metabolism and fat burning. It is even effective in treating arsenic poisoning. It offers cognitive benefits by improving memory and academic performance as well as by protecting the brain from degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parksinson’s. Regular use of spirulina supposedly improves productivity and treats ADHD.
