Spirulina, ubwoko bw'ibimera biva ku ibara ry'ubururu n'icyatsi kibisi biba mu mazi meza cyangwa mu nyanja, yitiriwe imiterere yayo yihariye. Dukurikije ubushakashatsi bwa siyansi, spirulina ifite poroteyine irenga 60%, kandi izi poroteyine zigizwe na aside amine zitandukanye z'ingenzi nka isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, n'izindi, bigatuma iba isoko ya poroteyine ishingiye ku bimera nziza. Ku bantu barya imboga cyangwa abakurikiza indyo irimo poroteyine nyinshi, spirulina nta gushidikanya ko ari amahitamo meza.

Uretse poroteyine, spirulina ikungahaye kuri aside irike idafite amavuta menshi nka aside gamma linolenic. Izi aside irike zikora neza mu kugabanya cholesterol no kugenzura urugero rw'ibinure mu maraso, bigafasha mu gukumira indwara z'umutima n'imitsi. Mu buzima bwa none bwihuse, kubungabunga ubuzima bw'umutima n'imitsi ni ingenzi cyane, kandi spirulina ni "umurinzi w'umutima" ku meza yacu yo kuriramo.

Uretse ibyo bintu byavuzwe haruguru mu mirire, spirulina irimo kandi polysaccharides nyinshi, chlorophyll, n'ibindi bintu, bifasha cyane mu kugabanya umunaniro, kongera ubudahangarwa bw'umubiri, n'ibindi. Mu by'ukuri ni 'package y'imirire myiza cyane'.

Muri make, spirulina yabaye amahitamo y'ingenzi ku mirire myiza ya none no kubaho ubuzima buzira ibidukikije bitewe n'uko irimo intungamubiri nyinshi, agaciro kayo kadasanzwe mu bidukikije, ndetse n'ubushobozi bwo gutera imbere mu buryo burambye. Byaba nk'inyongeramusaruro y'imirire ya buri munsi cyangwa nk'ibikoresho by'ibanze bishya mu nganda z'ibiribwa z'ejo hazaza, spirulina yagaragaje ubushobozi bukomeye n'amahirwe manini.
