Fresh Spirulina for Heart & Cardiovascular Health
A natural way to prevent high blood pressure, heart attacks, stroke, high cholesterol and improve cardiovascular health
NATURAL HEART HEALTH PROTECTION
Around 1 in 3 deaths globally are caused by heart disease: 85% by heart attacks and stroke.
Spirulina is shown to significantly reduce the risk of heart disease including high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, high cholesterol and coronary artery disease.
Fresh spirulina - never heated, never dried - provides up to 8 times more nutrients and 20 times more antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, active enzymes and bioactive molecules than found in dried spirulina powder or tablets.
How Spirulina Counters Heart Disease
Spirulina helps protect cardiovascular health and is effective in preventing heart attack, heart failure, coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, hypertension and stroke.
Protect yourself and your family - maintain heart health and protect against heart disease with a daily dose of fresh spirulina.
Counter and Control Inflammation
Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress drive heart disease and almost every other human disease - including accelerated ageing.
Spirulina reduces oxidative stress and inflammation that contribute to the development of cardiovascular diseases including atherosclerosis, cardiac hypertrophy, heart failure and hypertension.
Carotenoids, gamma-linolenic acid, phycocyanin, plant sterols and other bioactive molecules in Spirulina counter cardiovascular disease by inhibiting inflammation, preventing oxidative stress, and increasing free radical scavenging.
Lose & Manage Weight for Heart Health
Spirulina promotes weight loss through reduced fat absorption, improved lipid profiles, reduced fat accumulation, improved insulin sensitivity and satiety.
Together, these significantly reduce the risk of heart diseases including high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, high cholesterol and coronary artery disease.
Manage and Control Your Cholesterol
Daily spirulina significantly reduces body weight, blood pressure, BMI, plasma concentrations of total cholesterol, LDL-C, and triglycerides while increasing levels of HDL-C.

Independent Research: Spirulina for Heart Health & Prevention of Heart Disease
In this research dried spirulina shows spectacular results in preventing and healing heart disease.
Remember that fresh spirulina provides up to 20 times more bioactive substances than found in the dried spirulina powder or tablets used in these research studies.

Research: Spirulina Provides Powerful Protection Against Cardiovascular Disease
Carotenoids, gamma-linolenic acid, phycocyanin, and plant sterols in Spirulina counter cardiovascular disease by inhibiting inflammation, lowering plasma lipid concentrations, preventing oxidative stress, and increasing free radical scavenging.
Spirulina provides significant protection from both cardiovascular disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Research Review: Spirulina Reduces Risk Of Clogged Arteries, Heart Attacks, Stroke and Circulatory Problems - 2016
Spirulina can be a valuable nutraceutical to improve plasma lipids concentrations in dyslipidemic patients.
Spirulina reduces risk of clogged arteries (atherosclerosis), heart attacks, stroke and circulatory problems.

Research: Fifty-two Adults Recently Diagnosed with Dyslipidaemia Successfully Treated with Spirulina
After 3-months of daily spirulina the mean levels of triglycerides, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol, total cholesterol, non-high density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels, and the ratio of total cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were significantly decreased.

Research: Four Ways that Spirulina Reduces the Risk of Heart Disease
Spirulina reduces fat absorption and improves lipid profiles, particularly by reducing TC, TG and LDL-c and improving HDL-c.
The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of spirulina reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Spirulina promotes weight loss and reduces fat accumulation, and improves insulin sensitivity and satiety, reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) from spirulina prevents increases in arterial thickness, hypertension and dyslipidaemia, and the vitamin B3 (niacin) it provides also improves dyslipidaemia.

Research: Spirulina’s Hypolipidemic, Antioxidant, and Anti-Inflammatory Actions Provide Cardiovascular Protection
Spirulina lowers total cholesterol, LDL, and VLDL and increases HDL cholesterol levels.
Spirulina reduces oxidative stress and inflammation that contribute to the development of cardiovascular diseases including atherosclerosis, cardiac hypertrophy, heart failure and hypertension.

Trusted Source: Spirulina Significantly Improves Blood Lipids and Lipoproteins After 12 Weeks - 2023
A meta-analysis of 12 studies with 807 participants reported that daily spirulina supplementation significantly affected LDL-C (-33 mg/dL), triglycerides (-39 mg/dL), vLDL-C (-8 mg/dL), and HDL-C (+6 mg/dL) compared to a placebo or no intervention.

This is a small selection of hundreds of independent research studies confirming spirulina benefits for preventing and treating heart disease and cardiovascular problems.
Dosage: Fresh Spirulina for Heart and Cardiovascular Health
Analysis of spirulina studies research confirms that larger spirulina doses over longer periods consistently provide the best results.
As spirulina is a naturally grown functional food, there is no known dosage limit - In the United States 30-day fresh spirulina fasting is popular for detox and health improvement.
Fresh Spirulina Dosage for Cardiovascular Health
Most people find that one to two portions (SP-1 to SP-2) daily provide excellent heart health protection.
People with heart or cardiovascular health problems or concerns may wish to increase their daily dosage to SP-3 to SP-5 or consider occasional fresh spirulina fasts.
Every body is different - monitor your heart health to learn what SPRU dosages are best for you.
Almost any dose of fresh spirulina will provide more benefits than shown in most of the above research studies that have been conducted with dried spirulina.
