Summary

This trial tests whether taking 2 grams of spirulina daily for 8 weeks can improve metabolic health, body composition, sleep quality, and mood in mildly overweight postmenopausal women. Researchers will measure changes in blood sugar, cholesterol, weight, waist size, depression scores, and sleep quality. The goal is to see if this natural supplement can ease some of the common challenges of menopause.
