Spirulina's Role in Fat Loss

Spirulina supplementation can support fat loss and reduce triglyceride levels, as demonstrated in a recent animal study. In the study, overweight dogs on a high-protein, high-fiber diet showed significant weight loss when supplemented with spirulina, promoting satiety and possibly curbing appetite. The dogs receiving spirulina not only lost weight but also experienced a notable reduction in blood triglycerides compared to those on a placebo. This finding suggests that spirulina could play an important role in managing weight and improving metabolic health, providing a basis for further research in humans.
