Spirulina is a blue-green algae that’s loaded with protein, vitamins, minerals, carotenoids and antioxidants. “It’s typically found in the waters of warmer climates,” says Maryann Walsh, a registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator based in Palm Beach, Florida. “[Spirulina is] rich in flavonoids and polyphenols, such as phycocyanin, which help contribute to its high antioxidant levels,” she says.
Spirulina can help lower levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides significantly, according to a 2018 study in the journal Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy. In this study, participants consumed 1 to 19 grams of spirulina a day for two to 48 weeks before researchers concluded that spirulina has a “favorable effect” on these cardiac measures.
Another study notes blue-green algaes like spirulina can be effective natural options for improving blood lipid profiles, preventing inflammation and oxidative stress, and protecting against cardiovascular disease. Experts attribute spirulina’s cardiovascular benefits to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
