Description

  • Spirulina, a blue-green algae once used by ancient cultures as food, has been proven in modern research to significantly lower blood pressure
  • Consuming at least 3 grams of spirulina daily for eight to 12 weeks reduces both systolic and diastolic pressure, with whole spirulina working better than extracts
  • People over 50, those who are overweight, and adults already dealing with high blood pressure experience the strongest benefits from regular spirulina use
  • Spirulina works by improving blood vessel flexibility, boosting nitric oxide production, and protecting arteries from oxidative stress and inflammation
  • Safe and natural, spirulina is generally well tolerated, but it should be avoided if you’re allergic to seafood or iodine, pregnant, or nursing
