(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2023-01-26) Alcántara Castillo, Dilton Jenson; León Cáceres, Johanna del Carmen
Metabolic diseases and poor eating habits are factors that increase the chances of suffering from some type of dyslipidemia. Currently there are various studies of supplements that lower cholesterol, among which spirulina stands out. This secondary research titled: “Critical review: Spirulina supplementation in adult patients with dyslipidemia” aimed to identify the benefits of oral supplementation with spirulina algae in adult patients suffering from dyslipidemia. The clinical question was: Does oral supplementation with spirulina improve the lipid profile of patients suffering from some type of dyslipidemia? The Evidence-Based Nutrition (NuBE) methodology was used. The information search was carried out in PUBMED, REDALYC, SCIELO, SCIENCE DIRECT, finding 32 articles, of which only 11 were evaluated by the CASPE critical reading tool, finally selecting the Systematic Review titled “Meta-analyses A systematic review and meta-analysis of the impact of Spirulina supplementation on plasma lipid concentrations” which has a level of evidence AII and Grade of Strong Recommendation, according to the expertise of the researcher. The critical commentary allowed us to reach the conclusion that there is sufficient evidence that spirulina supplementation helps reduce high concentrations of lipids in the blood.
