KONA, Hawaii—Spirulina has been sold commercially for its health benefits for more than 30 years. But many consumers and even people in the nutraceutical industry are not aware of how much medical research has been done showing its benefits. Finally, Cyanotech has taken the initiative to consolidate abstracts from more than 400 published studies showing a variety of potential health benefits. This document separates the abstracts into specific health categories for Spirulina, then goes on to isolate some of the key nutrients abundantly found in Spirulina and reviews the research showing the potential benefits of each nutrient. Some of the many categories reviewed include:
• Immune System Enhancement
• Anemia and Blood Improvement
• Cardioprotection
• Liver and Kidney Protection
• Eye and Brain Benefits
• Anti-Viral Properties
