The evidence in words

How much to take

1–8 g/day of a tested, reputable product.

Timing & separation

There are no strict timing conflicts on record for Spirulina; consistency matters more than the exact hour for most goals.

Why the dose is what it is

Its phycocyanin and other compounds have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.

Bottom line

Modest metabolic and allergy benefits — but only from a tested, clean source. Contamination is the real risk.

How it is used

As the entry records it, from the studies it summarises. Not a recommendation for you — doses that suit a trial population may not suit you.

Standard
1–8 g/day, tested product.
