Abstract

Spirulina, a blue-green microalga, is renowned as an algal elixir due to its high nutritional value and therapeutic potential. This review article provides an in-depth analysis of Spirulina, beginning with an overview of Spirulina and then delving into its nutritional composition. Additionally, we examined the bioactive compounds present in Spirulina along with different extraction methods for key compounds. We also elucidated the therapeutic potential of Spirulina, discussing its versatile applications in various health conditions such as immune system modulation, antioxidant properties, allergic rhinitis, diabetes management, cardiovascular health, anticancer, prebiotic & probiotic properties, eyesight conditions, anti-anaemic, neuro-protective and also effects on diseases of metabolism with their mechanisms of action. Through this review we also explored varieties of valuable products derived from Spirulina which highlighted its potential and adaptability across various industries; it also underlines the significance of considering potential side effects and also emphasized the importance of substantial dosing. It serves as a valuable resource for healthcare professionals, researchers and encourages more research and utilization of Spirulina for human health and well-being.
