Pregnant and breastfeeding women should also be especially cautious when supplementing with spirulina
These peptides often exert their effects through modulation of insulin receptor substrates (IRS-1), PI3K/Akt signaling, and enhancement of GLUT4 translocation, promoting cellular glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity
