Arthrospira platensis
Spirulina is a blue-green microalgae that has been consumed as food for centuries by the Aztecs and African populations. It is one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet, containing complete protein, iron, B vitamins, and powerful antioxidants. NASA has studied it as a potential food for space missions.
Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis) is a nutrient-dense blue-green microalgae rich in protein, iron, B vitamins, and antioxidants such as phycocyanin and beta-carotene. It is used primarily for nutritional supplementation, allergic rhinitis, and cholesterol reduction, with emerging evidence for heavy metal detoxification. Key active compounds include phycocyanin, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), chlorophyll, and superoxide dismutase (SOD).
Spirulina exerts antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects primarily through phycocyanin, which inhibits cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathways, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines. Its hypolipidemic action involves upregulation of LDL receptor expression and inhibition of intestinal cholesterol absorption. For heavy metal detoxification, spirulina chelates metals such as arsenic and cadmium via its cell wall polysaccharides and phycocyanin, enhancing fecal excretion. Additionally, it modulates immune function by stimulating natural killer (NK) cell activity and macrophage phagocytosis.
