Blue spirulina may help protect against these problems by fighting oxidative stress and reducing inflammation, which can damage your eyes (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/22313576\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"May_Be_Effective_Against_Anemia\"><\/span><strong>May Be Effective Against Anemia<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most common form of anemia\u00a0 is due to a lack of iron. Spirulina is rich in the mineral iron, which your body needs to make hemoglobin and red blood cells. Consuming this as a supplement may help treat anemia by increasing the amount of nonheme iron in your diet, but is not a substitute for any medications or iron supplements recommended by your doctor (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4012879\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"May_Improve_Muscle_Strength_And_Endurance\"><\/span><strong>May Improve Muscle Strength And Endurance<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exercise-induced oxidative damage is a major contributor to muscle fatigue. Luckily, spirulina may be able to help fight this damage by reducing oxidative stress and improving your strength and endurance. By decreasing the amount of free radicals in your system, spirulina is said to have the potential to help reduce muscle soreness after exercise.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"May_Boost_Your_Energy_Levels\"><\/span><strong>May Boost Your Energy Levels<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many factors that contribute to fatigue, such as lack of sleep, anemia, an underactive thyroid, poor diet, and stress. Spirulina appears to have anti-fatigue effects that can help fight these factors by boosting energy levels. It&#8217;s thought that spirulina may also improve the body&#8217;s ability to produce ATP by increasing the availability of oxygen in your cells (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/20010119\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spirulina helps get rid of symptoms of the common cold, such as fatigue and <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/how-to-reset-your-metabolism\/\">irritability<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"May_Aid_Blood_Sugar_Control\"><\/span><strong>May Aid Blood Sugar Control<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many factors that contribute to insulin resistance, which can lead to type 2 diabetes .
