"The overall results of the present study showed that a six-day course of Spirulina platensis plus the standard treatment of COVID-19 was superior in the recovery of patients compared to standard treatment alone," the authors wrote.
The study was conducted at two Iranian hospitals, where 189 patients were randomized to take 15.2 grams of spirulina capsules alongside standard COVID-19 treatment or only receive standard treatment.
Dr. Saleeby said that functional and integrative medicine uses spirulina, chlorella, and other relatively simple plant foods "To detoxify patients with chronic diseases, toxicities, and poisoning." Spirulina is found to absorb heavy metals from the body.
Dr. Mazokopakis' team has tried spirulina in Greek patients with high blood lipid levels.
A study in heart disease patients found spirulina supplements could reduce triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, considered the "Bad" form of cholesterol.
A follow-up study in humans showed that 45 percent of patients had a complete regression of leukoplakia-thickened, white patches inside the mouth-after taking spirulina for a year.
People who are allergic to spirulina can develop rashes, and contaminated spirulina may exacerbate autoimmune conditions and lead to blood thinning.
