ABSTRACT

The Immune system refers to a collection of cells, chemicals and processes that protects our body from foreign antigens like viruses, bacteria, cancer cells etc. The primary functions of immune system are to defend against pathogens, which are disease causing organisms. In present world, antigens show more resistive power to antibodies which results in causing many diseases. In this review, we focus on the work of spirulina platensis which is a unicellular alga, as an immunity booster. Traditionally Spirulina is used as a food supplement with a potential strengthening of immune system. Also, it is inevitable to find such immune booster to stay away from diseases, as Spirulina platensis is rich in protein, vitamin, mineral and carotenoids, it acts as an immunity booster.
