Spirulina and Immunity

Spirulina is recognised for its immune-supportive properties, supplying key nutrients such as vitamins C and E, zinc, and beta-carotene that support immune function. Its rich antioxidant profile also helps neutralise free radicals and decrease inflammation, enhancing the body’s ability to mount an effective immune response.¹

Does Spirulina Contain Protein?

It is also a source of plant-based protein, containing about 60–70% protein by weight and all nine essential amino acids. This makes spirulina a suitable addition to vegetarian and vegan diets, supporting muscle repair and overall body function.²

Spirulina and Metabolic Health

Research suggests that spirulina may enhance metabolic health by supporting fat metabolism and improving insulin sensitivity. Its anti-inflammatory properties and ability to help regulate blood sugar levels could contribute to a reduced risk of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes.³ ⁴ ⁵

Spirulina and Allergies

Spirulina may also offer relief for those experiencing symptoms relating to allergies. Research indicates it can help modulate immune responses and reduce inflammation, potentially easing conditions like allergic rhinitis and seasonal allergies. By calming the body’s inflammatory reaction to allergens, spirulina may support a more balanced immune response.⁶ ⁷
