First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study tests whether phycocyanin, a natural protein from spirulina, can reduce liver damage and stiffness in adults with liver fibrosis or cirrhosis. Ten participants will take either phycocyanin or a placebo daily for at least 4 weeks, with regular blood tests and ultrasound checks. The goal is to see if this supplement can help control the disease, but it is not a cure.
