Uso Tradicional

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, 螺旋藻 (Luó Xuán Zǎo) has been used for centuries. It is traditionally classified as a qi-tonifying herb that strengthens vitality. TCM practitioners use it to reinforce the body's defensive energy (wei qi). It is considered a longevity tonic — nourishing the fundamental essence (jing) and supporting the kidneys.

Investigación Moderna

Moderate research exists for this herb, including some clinical trials and substantial preclinical data. While not as extensively studied as top-tier herbs, the evidence supports several traditional uses. More human trials would strengthen the evidence base.
