Abstract

Health and environmental protective properties of spirulina have been investigated in many studies. Since it balances cytokines and other immune elements with the effect of contents that chemicals and other biological elements. It has some effects on immune system strengthening, antioxidant, antioxidative stress, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antidiabetic, antihypertensive and anticancer. When administered in appropriate dose, it decreases the reactive oxygen species (ROS) rates and reduces oxidative stress which contributes to cancer progression. Its effects against oxidative stress and beneficial effects in cancer prevention and cancer treatments have been investigated.
