Health Notes Information:

How It Works:

Blue-green algae can be taken as a powder or as flakes, capsules, or tablets. The typical manufacturer’s recommended intake is 2,000–3,000 mg per day divided throughout the day. However, typical amounts shown to have helpful properties in animal studies would be equivalent to 34 grams per day or more, for a 150-pound human.

As it is not an essential nutrient, blue-green algae is not associated with a deficiency state. However, people who do not consume a few servings of vegetables per day could benefit from the carotenoids and other nutrients in blue-green algae. Since it is a complete protein, it can be used in place of some of the protein in a healthy diet. However, very large amounts are required to provide significant quantities of these nutrients from blue-green algae.

Side Effects:

Few side effects have been reported from the ingestion of blue-green algae. However, as blue-green algae can accumulate heavy metals from contaminated water, consuming blue-green algae could increase the body’s load of lead, mercury, and cadmium,³ though noncontaminated blue-green algae have been identified.⁴ Another popular species of blue-green algae, Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, has been found to produce toxins.⁵ A few reports also describe allergic reactions to blue-green algae. Animal studies have found spirulina to be safe during pregnancy.^{6, 7, 8}

There is one case report of a man who developed liver damage while taking spirulina.⁹ As he was also talking three prescription medications, it is not clear whether the spirulina caused or contributed to the liver injury.
