What is the recommended dosage for Spirulina?

General: 1-3 g/day; Immune Support: 3-10 g/day

What are the side effects of Spirulina?

Potential side effects include: Gastrointestinal discomfort, Headache, Allergic reactions (rare), Contamination risk from wild-harvested sources (microcystins, heavy metals), May exacerbate autoimmune conditions (immunostimulatory).

What is spirulina and how does it support immune function?

Spirulina is a blue-green algae (cyanobacterium) rich in phycocyanin, a pigment with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Clinical studies have examined spirulina for its potential to enhance natural killer cell activity and modulate allergic immune responses.

What dosage of spirulina has been studied for immune support?

Clinical trials have used spirulina at doses of 1–8 g per day, with 2–4 g being the most common range for immune-related outcomes. For allergic rhinitis, doses of 1–2 g per day have been studied over periods of 4 to 12 weeks.

What are the potential side effects of spirulina?

Spirulina is generally well tolerated. Possible side effects include gastrointestinal discomfort, headache, and allergic reactions. Product quality is critical, as spirulina contaminated with microcystins or heavy metals poses health risks. Choose products tested for purity.

About

Fikosianin dan polisakarida dalam spirulina mendukung fungsi imun dengan meningkatkan sitotoksisitas sel NK dan produksi interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), mengaktivasi sel lini mieloid, serta menunjukkan aktivitas antioksidan dan anti-inflamasi yang kuat. Uji klinis komparatif tahun 2020 menemukan spirulina lebih efektif dibandingkan cetirizine dalam mengurangi gejala rinitis alergi.

How It Works

Phycocyanin and polysaccharides enhance NK cell cytotoxicity and IFN-gamma production; activate myeloid lineage cells; phycocyanin also exhibits potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.
