Spirulina is a type of blue-green algae that is rich in protein, vitamins, minerals,
and carotenoids, antioxidants that can help protect cells from damage. .
Spirulina boost the immune system, help protect against allergic reactions,
and have antiviral and anticancer properties.
Spirulina increases production of antibodies, infection-fighting proteins, and
other cells that improve immunity and help ward off infection and chronic
illnesses such as cancer.
Spirulina may protect against allergic reactions by stopping the release of
histamines, substances that contribute to allergy symptoms, such as a runny
nose, watery eyes, hives, and soft-tissue swelling.
Preliminary evidence suggests that spirulina may help protect against liver
damage and cirrhosis (liver failure) in people with chronic hepatitis.
