Spirulina and Cancer Models: What an Early Review Reports

Research note: This article summarizes a review of earlier studies. It does not establish that Spirulina prevents or treats cancer in people.

What the source is

Anvar and Nowruzi (2021) reviewed bioactive properties reported for Spirulina. The cancer-related material includes findings from laboratory and animal models and research on isolated compounds.

What readers should take from it

The review is a map of research questions, not proof of a clinical outcome. Cell or animal findings do not establish that eating Spirulina has the same effect. Claims that Spirulina “blocks cancer expansion,” is non-toxic to all normal cells, or can be used as medicine are broader than the evidence presented here.

What remains unknown

This source does not establish cancer prevention or treatment effects for people, nor does it test SPRU fresh-frozen Spirulina for those purposes.
