Spirulina capsule is found to be effective in reducing blood cholesterol levels. It contains various amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins and small amount of carbohydrates. In usa, it?s prescribed as food supplements. I will like to know current medicines, bp, pulse rate, fasting lipid profile etc prior to advising its use as it has to be individualised. Thank you.
