What are the benefits of spirulina?

Découvrir notre spiruline

Écrit par Ecosystem Laboratoire - Publié le

For some years now, spirulina has been one of the food supplements that we have heard more and more about. It is an entirely natural superfood, present on several continents, and whose properties are numerous and remarkably effective. Let's find out together what the benefits of spirulina are!

A concentrate of iron

Spirulina is the richest natural food in iron. For 100 grams, it is estimated that it contains between 50 and 100 mg. Iron is an essential element for the proper functioning of the body, as it is the main component of the red blood cells in the blood, which help to oxygenate the muscles and, in general, to supply all the organs with oxygen. Iron deficiency often leads to chronic fatigue, emotional instability and even hair loss. Women are regularly subject to this because of their menstruation. Consumption of spirulina, in combination with a balanced diet, can correct this deficiency and provide the necessary daily intake of iron.


A booster of the immune system and vitality

This cyanobacteria is exceptionally rich in nutrients, which makes it an ally of the human body in several ways. It contains many vitamins that are valuable for the body: A, E, D, K, B1, B2, B3, B6, B8, B9 and B12. These varieties of B vitamins contribute to the production of energy in the body and to maintaining energy levels. This plant also acts as a real immune system booster, particularly thanks to its concentration of beta-carotene, which is a recognised immunostimulant and antioxidant.


A powerful antioxidant

As mentioned above, spirulina helps to flush toxins out of the body. It also helps to preserve the body by fighting against the formation of free radicals, which generate oxidative stress, particularly affecting memory and intellectual faculties. Spirulina has real antioxidant virtues that preserve both the brain and sensitive organs such as the liver.


A natural ally of the liver

Spirulina has a high amino acid content, which is very interesting for preserving the liver. This organ plays a key role in the daily functioning of the body, as it creates bile, which is used to digest fats and to filter the blood in order to eliminate all the various harmful substances it carries. Spirulina promotes the expulsion of toxins and thus protects the liver. However, be careful not to exceed the prescribed doses in case of haemochromatosis or excess iron in the body.


Benefits for different groups

  • Vegetarians and vegans

Due to its high concentration of iron and nutrients, spirulina is often administered to individuals following a vegetarian or vegan diet who receive, through the consumption of spirulina, all the vitamins they need and in particular B12. It is estimated that 48 grams of spirulina have the same iron content as 100 grams of beef. Spirulina is also very popular with dieters who want to lose weight because of its appetite-suppressant effect.


  • Top athletes

The quantity of vitamins, minerals, trace elements and proteins present in spirulina make it one of the preferred food supplements for top athletes. They often consume it as a treatment to accelerate muscle gain and lose a maximum of fat mass. In addition, the iron present in the plant helps to oxygenate the muscles more quickly, which shortens the recovery time required after exercise and guarantees better performance in the long term.


  • Pregnant women

About 20% of pregnant women suffer from anaemia, mainly due to iron deficiency. In this context, the consumption of spirulina, which is a natural plant element, seems to be the best way to regain the iron levels necessary for good health without having a dangerous impact on the foetus. In the same way, pregnant women on a vegetarian or vegan diet will find spirulina an excellent way to receive all the proteins and vitamins they need to stay in shape throughout their pregnancy and to provide their baby with all the nutrients essential for its development. Among the components of spirulina is vitamin B9, which is essential to prevent any risk of premature birth or stunted growth in the child.



The benefits of spirulina are multiple and allow the body to be in optimal shape. Ecosystem Laboratoire presents its spirulina-based liquid food supplements to be diluted every morning in your glass of water: Mac Oc Premium & Mac Oc Classic.
