Spirulina may provide anti-aging and anti-inflammatory effects, thanks to the many antioxidants it contains.

“Spirulina fights free radicals and, therefore, can prevent skin damage that can lead to wrinkles and signs of aging,” says Amy Shapiro, MS, RD, CDN, dietitian, and founder of Real Nutrition.

Phycocyanin is the main active ingredient in spirulina and gives the algae its rich blue-green color.

Spirulina also contains many important amino acids, including glycine and proline, which keep the skin firm and support the body’s collagen production.
