The appetite-suppressing effect of spirulina

If you're feeling hungry or your diet is lacking, spirulina is the perfect remedy to add to your daily routine. It provides your body with essential nutrients while being very low in calories. This makes it an excellent remedy for hunger, as its nutrients help you feel full and therefore limit the amount you eat. Spirulina acts as a detox nutrient to eliminate excess weight because it promotes the release of toxins. Chlorophyll, which is found in spirulina, is also known to be a very effective detoxifier.

Spirulina for athletes 

The complete composition of nutrients and vitamins makes spirulina the best ally for athletes. Its iron concentration promotes muscle oxygenation. In addition, it improves endurance thanks to its iron, zinc, and mineral content. Its high calcium and magnesium levels help prevent and counteract muscle cramps. These nutrients enable athletes to reduce fatigue and thus recover more easily after exercise in order to surpass themselves.  

The benefits of spirulina for hair and nails 

Spirulina is rich in nutrients and trace elements that restore shine and strengthen nails and hair. It deeply nourishes the scalp thanks to its beneficial properties. Similarly, these trace elements promote hair growth and protect the hair. Thanks to its iron content, spirulina helps to reduce hair loss. 

In this context, spirulina can be added to your shampoo or applied as a mask to your hair to achieve the desired effects.

 

But that's not the only benefit: spirulina also has promising effects when it comes to strengthening your nails. Nutrient deficiencies can cause nails to break or become thinner. Once again, spirulina combats nail defects and strengthens their surface, while also promoting nail growth. 

The benefits of spirulina for the skin

The molecules present in spirulina have antioxidant and regenerative properties for the skin.

  1. Anti-aging: Every day, particles settle on our skin, causing skin and cell aging and creating wrinkles. Certain elements in spirulina release molecules that slow down skin aging. This restores suppleness and softness to the epidermis. It also preserves the skin's elasticity thanks to amino acids.
     
  2. Collagen booster: collagen in the skin helps maintain its elasticity. Over time, collagen levels decrease, revealing skin imperfections such as wrinkles and stretch marks. That is why it is important to maintain a certain level of collagen in the body. All of the components of spirulina help to produce and maintain the collagen levels necessary for supple skin.
     
  3. Healthy glow effect: beta-carotene (vitamin A), found in spirulina, helps activate tanning by promoting melanin production and protecting the skin from UV rays. It therefore helps you maintain a tan all year round. Spirulina is therefore excellent for the skin, keeping it fresh and rested. It is also excellent for acne problems and absorbs impurities (enlarged pores).

Benefits for vegans and vegetarians 

Spirulina is rich in vitamins and minerals. This algae is a superfood in that its protein content is two to three times higher than that of lean meat or fish. The vitamin B12 found in spirulina is often the most difficult vitamin to find in certain foods, especially in a meat-free diet where no plant contains this vitamin. Spirulina is 30 times richer in iron than spinach and has a high concentration of calcium that exceeds that of milk. 

As a result, spirulina is an important source of vitamins for vegans and vegetarians.
