RiskLow Risk

Overview

•Spirulina has a strong safety record and GRAS status, but microalgae products can risk contamination with microcystins or heavy metals if not grown in controlled environments; certified organic sourcing helps mitigate this.
•Mild gastrointestinal symptoms such as loose stools, nausea, cramping, and transient green discoloration of stool can occur.
•Individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU) should strictly avoid spirulina because it contains naturally occurring phenylalanine.
•Those with systemic autoimmune disorders (such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or multiple sclerosis) should exercise caution due to spirulina's potential immunostimulatory properties.
