PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases in modern society. Up to 200 million people suffer from asthma in the world and there is increasing evidence to suggest that its incidence and severity are increasing day by day. In the last 10 years, asthma cases have risen 50% worldwide. Asthma is a chronic lung condition that is characterised by difficulty in breathing that is caused by obstruction of the airways. It can develop at any age. During an asthma attack, spasms in the muscles surrounding the bronchi constrict, impeding the outward passage of air. Symptoms of an asthma attack include coughing, wheezing, tightness in the chest and difficulty in breathing. An “attack” can last for minutes or several hours. Typically, an attack begins within minutes after exposure to a triggering agent. Some patients have only occasional or ‘seasonal’ symptoms, while others have daily symptoms.
There are two forms of asthma stimuli -- allergic and non-allergic; An Allergic attack is normally triggered from exposure to allergies or irritants. Common asthma-provoking allergens include cold air, animal secretions, sugar, pollen, pets, chemicals, drugs, dust, mites, environmental pollutants, food additives, MSG, fumes and tobacco smoke to name a few. A Non-Allergic attack is normally triggered by emotional stress or tension and includes anxiety, adrenal disorders and need for attention.

The present study was undertaken to study the effectiveness of spirulina supplementation in the treatment of bronchial asthma. Thirty-four adult asthmatics with mild to moderate degree of bronchial asthma were enrolled and divided into three groups, namely, Group A (medication), Group B (spirulina) and Group C (spirulina + medication). The intervention was done with spirulina that was administered at 1 g/day. The lung functions and biochemical parameters were monitored at baseline and at the end of first and second month. The dietary history revealed a poor intake of protective antioxidant vitamins. An increasing trend in serum total proteins and its fractions was observed in both the groups fed spirulina. Significant improvement in lung function were observed in all three groups, the quantum being similar in groups A and B and most optimal in Group C. It is concluded that spirulina alone has been equally beneficial as medication alone over two months period in treating mild to moderate asthma. The most optimal improvement was observed when medication and spirulina were administered together. The results of this study suggest that long-term supplementation of spirulina for more than two months on daily basis can optimise an improvement of bronchial asthma.
