First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 39 times
Summary
This study tests whether taking algae supplements (spirulina or seaweed) for 20 weeks can improve heart health markers and gut bacteria in 150 adults aged 50+ with conditions like heart disease, diabetes, or kidney disease. Participants are randomly assigned to receive algae or a placebo, and researchers measure changes in blood chemicals linked to heart risk. The goal is to see if these natural supplements can help control disease, but they are not a cure.
