Abstract in brief

  • The systematic review and meta-analysis examined whether spirulina supplements can boost antioxidant levels in the body, with mixed results.
  • The study found that spirulina might slightly improve total antioxidant capacity and superoxide dismutase activity, but did not significantly affect glutathione peroxidase activity.
  • Overall, spirulina could have some beneficial effects on the body's antioxidant system, but more research is needed to confirm these findings.]
