  • Spirulina, a blue-green algae once used by ancient cultures as food, has been proven in modern research to significantly lower blood pressure
  • Consuming at least 3 grams of spirulina daily for eight to 12 weeks reduces both systolic and diastolic pressure, with whole spirulina working better than extracts
