Prevents Inflammations
Spirulina is a sea vegetable rich in anti-inflammatory compounds. In addition to helping with inflammatory issues, these compounds also reduce oxidative stress, which means they help with aging. In addition, spirulina has been used for centuries as an anti-fungal agent, meaning it’s great for fighting off diseases such as athlete’s foot.
The effects of spirulina are comparable to those of NSAIDs because they both inhibit prostaglandins, compounds within the body that cause inflammation by increasing capillary permeability and increased pain sensitivity. However, unlike conventional NSAIDs, the effects of phycocyanin don’t simply go away after you stop taking them—they’re permanent. This means that the benefits of spirulina will last as long as the drug is in your system, and potentially longer if you continue to take it regularly.
