Spirulina is a type of blue-green algae that grows in both salt and fresh water. These algae contain several nutrients, including B vitamins, beta carotene, and vitamin A. It also contains antioxidants, minerals, and proteins. Let’s find one way to enjoy eating this alga, let’s make spirulina beverage for ulcerative colitis (UC).
Spirulina Benefits for Ulcerative Colitis Patients
Spirulina is gaining attention because it is rich in many powerful antioxidants, nutrients, and anti-inflammatories. It also contains proteins, beta carotene, zeaxanthin, vitamin E, vitamin C, selenium, zinc, magnesium, potassium, and manganese.
Additionally, spirulina contains phycocyanin, which is an antioxidant that gives spirulina its blue-green color. This compound can fight free radicals and suppress inflammations, providing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Oxidative stress can damage cells, which leads to chronic inflammations that might cause cancer and other diseases.
Furthermore, patients with UC suffer from anemia resulting from blood loss caused by gut and chronic inflammation. Spirulina is an iron-rich supplement. Adequate iron intake increases the use of oxygen throughout the body, which gives the body energy and the ability to exercise.
