HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Spirulina 500 mg by Vitamin World

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This tablet contains 2 active ingredients: spirulina (a blue-green algae) and copper (an essential mineral). Spirulina is included for its potential benefits to blood pressure and other health outcomes.

Copper supports normal body functions and is used to prevent or treat copper deficiency. The product also contains several inactive ingredients — povidone, vegetable cellulose, silica, dicalcium phosphate, and vegetable magnesium stearate — which are fillers, binders, and flow agents that help form and stabilize the tablet.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Strong

Strong clinical evidence supports its ingredients for:

Why this rating?
  • The label markets general wellness (“General health and wellness”), not a specific health condition, so there is no single claim to grade against clinical-evidence data.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Copper deficiency — rated "Likely Effective" (Copper) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Hypertension — rated "Possibly Effective" (Blue-green Algae) (Natural Medicines).

Spirulina is possibly effective for high blood pressure. For other conditions — acne, allergic rhinitis (hay fever), iron deficiency anemia, and arsenic poisoning — the evidence isn't established enough to rate it.

Copper is likely effective for copper deficiency. For Alzheimer disease and acne, copper is rated possibly ineffective and insufficiently researched, respectively, so the data we hold doesn't support its use for those purposes.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Copper Blue-green Algae

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Spirulina is generally well tolerated when taken by mouth, though some people report abdominal cramps, bloating, diarrhea, dizziness, fatigue, flatulence, headache, nausea, and vomiting. Rare allergic reactions including rashes, itching, and in one case anaphylaxis have been reported; mild gum bleeding and bruising occurred in a small number of trial participants.

A significant caution: spirulina quality varies widely, and some products can be contaminated with toxins or heavy metals — this is an important reason to buy from reputable sources. Copper is safe at the levels found in food and standard supplements, but excess copper can be toxic.

Contact dermatitis from copper has been reported rarely. There's evidence that people with diabetes have higher blood copper than others, though it's unclear whether elevated copper worsens diabetes itself.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Copper Blue-green Algae

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Copper, Blue-green Algae.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 358 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before you start, double-check these medication types with your pharmacist: blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs (warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel — Moderate severity), diabetes medications (Moderate severity), immunosuppressants (Moderate severity), penicillamine (Moderate severity), and oral contraceptives (Minor severity).

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with strong clinical evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Consider this product if you're looking for spirulina's possible blood pressure support or to correct copper deficiency — but if you take blood thinners, diabetes drugs, immune-suppressing medications, or penicillamine, check with your pharmacist first. Buy from a trusted brand, since spirulina supplements can be contaminated.

Talk to your pharmacist or doctor about whether this is right for your health situation and medications.

For each ingredient in Spirulina 500 mg with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Spirulina3 drug types · 327 drugs

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, spirulina blue-green algae might increase the risk of bleeding if used with other anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs. However, this is unlikely.
Spirulina blue-green algae have shown antiplatelet and anticoagulant effects in vitro. However, one preliminary study in 24 patients receiving spirulina blue-green algae 2.3 grams daily for 2 weeks showed no effect on platelet activation or measures of clotting time.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, taking blue-green algae with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Human research shows that spirulina blue-green algae can have hypoglycemic effects in patients with diabetes, at least some of whom were using antidiabetes drugs. However, blue-green algae does not seem to improve glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels in patients with diabetes. A meta-analysis of animal studies also suggests that spirulina blue-green algae have hypoglycemic effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, concurrent use of blue-green algae might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
Blue-green algae have been shown to stimulate the immune system.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Spirulina full monograph & interactions

Copper2 drug types · 31 drugs

Penicillamine (Cuprimine, Depen)

Theoretically, taking copper with penicillamine might decrease the absorption of penicillamine; separate dosing by at least 2 hours.
Copper chelates penicillamine, which decreases its absorption and may reduce its clinical effects.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Contraceptive Drugs

Theoretically, taking copper with contraceptive drugs might increase the levels and toxic effects of copper.
A meta-analysis of clinical studies suggests that chronic use of oral contraceptives increases serum copper levels by a mean of 57 mcg/dL. In most people, this resulted in levels above the normal reference range for copper.

Spirulina 500 mg by Vitamin World: Common Questions

Does Spirulina 500 mg by Vitamin World interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Spirulina 500 mg has a known interaction with 358 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Spirulina 500 mg contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is spirulina safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
The product facts don't contain safety data for spirulina in pregnancy or breastfeeding. Because quality varies and contamination is a concern, it's best to talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it during pregnancy or while nursing — they can advise you based on your individual situation.
What are the most common side effects?
Spirulina is generally well tolerated, but some people report abdominal cramps, bloating, diarrhea, dizziness, fatigue, flatulence, headache, nausea, and vomiting. Rare allergic reactions, including rashes and itching, have occurred.
What is spirulina, and what is it used for?
Spirulina is a blue-green algae. In this product, it's included for its possible effects on blood pressure. The evidence supports that it may help, though for other claimed uses like acne or anemia, we don't have enough data to say it works.
Why is copper in this supplement?
Copper is an essential mineral your body needs. This product includes it to help prevent or treat copper deficiency. Copper is likely effective for that purpose, but there's no reliable evidence it helps with acne or other conditions.
Does this product contain just spirulina and copper, or are there fillers?
The 500 mg tablets contain spirulina and copper as active ingredients, plus five inactive ingredients: povidone, vegetable cellulose, silica, dicalcium phosphate, and vegetable magnesium stearate. These are standard binders and fillers that help form the tablet.
What's the concern about spirulina quality?
Spirulina products can vary in quality, and some are contaminated with toxins or heavy metals. It's important to buy from a reputable source and manufacturer to minimize that risk.
