Abstract: (2471 Views)
Recently, in many developed and developing countries, the consumption of food supplements derived from natural resources has become popular due to the lack of side effects, low cost, and antioxidant properties for the prevention and treatment of many diseases. Microalgae contain a wide range of beneficial compounds, including essential amino acids, minerals, unsaturated fatty acids, and dietary fiber. They are also known as powerful free radical scavengers.
In this study, using the findings published in the databases of Scopus, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Wiley, and ISI, etc., recent evidence about the therapeutic and protective effects of microalgae on human health was collected. The industrial applications and clinical challenges of these compounds were also presented.
Due to the wide range of microalgae ingredients, its long-term consumption can provide many essential nutrients in our body where leads to improve Community health. In addition, in many cases, especially liver disorders, Chlorella and Spirulina microalga have a significant therapeutic effect which can be used as a drug. However, many differrent components, sometimes causes side effects, which should be minimized by consuming the standard dosage under the care of a physician.
