In a study published in Nutrients, a team of researchers of Italian origin analyzed clinical and experimental findings from recent studies to understand the therapeutic contributions that spirulina has in the management of cardiovascular disease and associated risk factors.
The therapeutic effects of spirulina
Spirulina and hypertension
The impact of spirulina in reducing the risk of hypertension and stroke has been studied extensively in clinical studies, and the findings of these studies showed that following the daily consumption of spirulina, even added to salad dressing, it significantly reduced.
Research indicates that spirulina has a wide range of therapeutic effects, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, antioxidant, hypolipidemic and neuroprotective properties. Due to its hypolipidemic and antioxidant properties, spirulina supplementation could be beneficial in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Moreover, diabetes, together with dyslipidemia and hypertension, is one of the risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Therefore, this review examined how the health benefits of spirulina could overall reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, which continues to be one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide.
