Spirulina Endurance Randomized TrialRed Cell Distribution Width significantly increased following spirulina supplementation in comparison to placebo (spirulina = 13.3 ± 0.9 % vs.2Gurney T (2025)Physiological effects of spirulina supplementation during lactate threshold exercise at simulated altitude (2,500 m): a randomized controlled trial.
Spirulina Endurance Randomized TrialConclusion In conclusion, three weeks of spirulina supplementation at 6 g/day reduced heart rate during a lactate threshold test at a simulated moderate altitude (2,500 m), but did not produce additional physiological or hematological benefits.2Gurney T (2025)Physiological effects of spirulina supplementation during lactate threshold exercise at simulated altitude (2,500 m): a randomized controlled trial.
Spirulina Endurance Randomized TrialBackground Existing literature indicates that spirulina supplementation can improve a variety of blood morphological parameters (such as hemoglobin) in healthy and clinical populations.2Gurney T (2025)Physiological effects of spirulina supplementation during lactate threshold exercise at simulated altitude (2,500 m): a randomized controlled trial.
Spirulina Endurance Randomized TrialGiven the importance of hemoglobin for endurance exercise, particularly at altitude, this study aimed to investigate whether spirulina supplementation can improve blood morphological parameters in healthy cyclists and positively influence physiological variables when completing a lactate threshold test at simulated moderate altitude (2,500 m).2Gurney T (2025)Physiological effects of spirulina supplementation during lactate threshold exercise at simulated altitude (2,500 m): a randomized controlled trial.
Spirulina Endurance Randomized TrialBackground Physical activity, such as running, protects against cardiovascular disease and obesity but can induce oxidative stress.4Vignaud J (2025)Combined Effects of Spirulina Liquid Extract and Endurance Training on Aerobic Performance and Muscle Metabolism Adaptation in Wistar Rats.
