Moderate Evidence

Evidence Summary

Spirulina is a blue-green microalgae packed with protein, phycocyanin (its signature blue pigment), and antioxidants. Clinical trials show it can meaningfully reduce inflammatory markers — particularly CRP — and pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-1β and IL-6, with effects seen in as little as 12 weeks at doses of 1–6 g per day. A topical extract (Spiralin®) also showed early promise for improving skin microbiome diversity in atopic dermatitis patients.
