Nutritional Value and Health Benefits of Consuming Spirulina

Spirulina belongs to the cyanobacteria class of single-celled microorganisms, also known as blue-green algae. Spirulina is one of the oldest microalgae on earth and can be found in fresh and saline water. The ancient Aztecs ingested Spirulina, but it gained popularity once more when NASA suggested that astronauts could produce it in space.
It is a superfood that contains functional compounds such as phenolics, phycocyanin with antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory with immunostimulant effects.
MANUFACTURERS AND SUPPLIERS OF SPIRULINA
In a growth medium comprised of water and nutrients, Spirulina is cultivated. The high PH of the growing medium mate's Spirulina is virtually uncompetitive. It can use drinking water, brackish water, water from a natural body, or even rainwater.
North America is anticipated to have the most outstanding share of the worldwide spirulina market, and Asia-pacific and Europe follow it due to the enormous use of health supplements.
In India, Chennai, Andre Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Karnataka have a hot tropical climate, perfect for spirulina cultivation. Therefore, Spirulina manufacturers in Tamil Naidu, Chennai, Andre Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Karnataka, have developed their business with convenient business development parameters.

SUPPLEMENTS OF SPIRULINA
Powder and pills are the two most popular Spirulina types sold commercially. Additionally, it is a component of a few proteins and energy-boosting blends. Spirulina powder can be added to a smoothie mixed with a small amount of water or juice to be consumed straight. It improves blood and lipid levels, reduces blood pressure, and it helps in boosting stamina and maintains a healthy immune system. The following reasons explain how Spirulina supplements boost immunity against critical health issues.

1. Spirulina Has Exceptionally High Levels of Several Nutrients
Spirulina is typically taken in quantities of 1-3 grams per day. However, up to 10 grams per day have been used successfully.
The following nutrients can be found in a single tablespoon (7 grams) of dry spirulina powder:
• 11 percent of the RDA for vitamin B1 (thiamine)
• 15% of the RDA for vitamin B2 (riboflavin)
• 4% of the RDA for vitamin B3 (niacin)
• 17% of the RDA is for copper.
• 11.0% of the RDA for iron
Additionally, it has a good amount of magnesium.
2. Spirulina can reduce levels of "bad" LDL and triglycerides
The main factor in death worldwide is heart disease. Several risk factors raise the risk of developing heart disease. Spirulina has a favorable effect on a lot of these variables. As an illustration, it can increase "good" HDL cholesterol while lowering "bad" LDL cholesterol and triglycerides overall.
In a trial including 25 individuals with type 2 diabetes, 2 grams of Spirulina daily dramatically enhanced these indicators.
Another study on individuals with high cholesterol found that consuming 1 gram of spirulina daily reduced triglycerides by 16.3% and "bad" LDL by 10.1%.

CONCLUSION
Although there is enough data to support the benefits of Spirulina in treating allergic rhinitis, more extensive studies are still needed. Although -carotene, a well-known antioxidant, is thought to be the source of Spirulina's anticancer properties, the relationship between -carotene levels and carcinogenesis has not been proven because the causes of carcinoma are typically complex. Although some studies have found that Spirulina lowers cholesterol, more extensive research is necessary before any firm conclusions can be drawn. To conclude, the use of Spirulina in treating chronic tiredness and antiviral applications has not been the subject of high-quality research trials. The literature reveals that Spirulina is a safe food supplement without noticeable adverse effects, but its use as a medication is still uncertain.
