Helps Improve Oxygen Intake
Spirulina is a supplement that people can take to help improve the amount of oxygen they breathe. By taking spirulina, the small air sacs in the lungs (called alveoli) can hold more oxygen and release it into the bloodstream, which helps with physical endurance and overall health.
It contains phycocyanin, which makes red blood cells larger so they can take in more oxygen—this is especially important to athletes whose heart rates are higher than the average person’s. Spirulina allows athletes to have greater endurance than their competitors because their hearts aren’t working as hard as quickly.
