ImpactModerate impact

The posts suggest that the findings are perceived as potentially transformative, with some describing spirulina as a 'powerful healing food' and emphasizing its impact on performance and health.

Abstract in brief

Spirulina supplementation improved exercise performance by extending time to fatigue and shifting substrate metabolism towards increased fat oxidation during a 2-hour treadmill run.
It also elevated antioxidant levels, notably increased glutathione (GSH), before and after exercise, and reduced lipid peroxidation as indicated by stable TBARS levels post-exercise.
Overall, spirulina demonstrated ergogenic and antioxidant benefits in moderately trained males, enhancing endurance and reducing exercise-induced oxidative stress.
