• microelements (zinc, iodine, selenium and others);
• macroelements (iron, copper, calcium and a number of others);

Beneficial features

People who play sports need additional nutrition. Most common everyday foods do not contain enough nutrients to support a full, intense workout.

This is where superfoods come to the rescue. These are products with a high content of biologically active substances that quickly help the body recover after hard training. One of the most popular superfoods is spirulina.

By consuming this supplement before training, the athlete receives a boost of energy and increases the body's endurance. Spirulina contains gamma-linoleic acid, which stimulates the functioning of the heart, blood vessels, muscles, and other organs at the cellular level.

Proteins, also included in the superfood, are necessary for the restoration and growth of muscle tissue. At the same time, spirulina contains no fat, which is very important for the athlete’s body.

Mechanism of action

Spirulina contains no fats, toxins, or GMOs. The supplement is absolutely safe for human health. Due to the presence of a huge amount of useful nutrients, the product has the following effects on the body:

• proteins – contribute to the formation of the skeleton, increasing muscle mass;
• vitamin A – responsible for visual acuity, growth and development of the body;
• B vitamins – prevent the development of insomnia, strengthen the nervous system;
• vitamins C, E – have a pronounced antioxidant effect, slowing down the aging process at the cellular level;
• phosphorus – improves memory, strengthens muscles;
• iron – actively participates in the process of hematopoiesis, prevents the development of anemia;
• manganese – strengthens connective tissue;
• chlorophyll - promotes liver cell regeneration;
• magnesium – normalizes heart rate;
• organic iodine – has a positive effect on the functioning of the thyroid gland;
• silicon – strengthens bones, ligaments, tendons, hair, nails.

Important! Since all these substances in spirulina are in organic form, they are completely absorbed by the body, which further increases the effectiveness of this product.

Indications for use

Spirulina helps an athlete build muscle mass. In addition, algae is a source of iron, the need for which increases sharply during intense training. Spirulina replenishes iron deficiency in the body and prevents the development of anemia. Many marathon runners use the product to increase endurance and prevent muscle cramps.

Contraindications

The only contraindication is individual intolerance to the product.

Methods of application

It is recommended to take spirulina half an hour before meals, three times a day, one tablet per dose. This promotes weight loss as spirulina reduces appetite. If, on the contrary, you need to gain weight, then the product is taken after meals.

The course of admission is 30-90 days. If necessary, it can be repeated after a month's break.

Mechanism of action of spirulina

Several years ago, scientists in Asia who studied the effects of spirulina in laboratory animals concluded: “Spirulina appears to act through the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling pathway and Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle. Spirulina supplementation has been shown to activate the AMPK pathway, which regulates SIRT1. Thus, SIRT1 deacetylates

metabolic molecules including nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB), c-Myc, transcription factor 1 (FOXO1), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma), leading to increased levels of adiponectin, a hormone that increases with decreasing fat mass (adiponectin is one of the main hormones regulating metabolism).”

“In addition, studies have shown an increase in gene expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1alpha) and uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) in skeletal muscle after spirulina supplementation, which results from activation of adiponectin/adipoR1 and, hence, upregulation of adiponectin, as well as PGC-1alpha and UCP2, which promote mitochondrial biogenesis and fat oxidation.” [2]

Conclusions about the effect of spirulina on the body of athletes

“Spirulina supplementation during gradual weight loss is beneficial in reducing body fat, fat mass, myostatin, and liver enzymes while maintaining IFP-1 and follistatin concentrations in competitive wrestlers,” the study authors concluded.
