Aqueous Spirulina extract is already approved for use in food in the US and EU with no toxicity limitations or known allergens. It has unique advantages, including bio-security, consistent quality and taste, odour-free and is high in bioactive compounds. The aim of the food supplement is to develop a natural shield to high-risk population groups such as the elderly and people with severe underlying medical conditions, as well as high-exposure groups e.g. medical personnel, however the supplement will not be a replacement for SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations.
