Abstract: As a result of the general global environmental pollution, changed cultivation methods and events as the Tschernobyl disaster, the nutritional content of the food declines and the contamination caused by toxins, as well as by long-living radionuclides as Caesium-137, Strontium-90, Plutonium and Potassium-40 increases. As a result the radiation doses as well as other ecological factors increase.This continually increasing radiation doses and the other ecological factors represent a growing stress for the immune system up to the point of tolerance.For this reason, we urgently need substances from natural, uncontaminated sources as food supplement, which help the body to excrete these substances under the aspect of a well-balanced nutrition and which support the immune system.Therefore, the study examines one of the most interesting natural substances, the microalgae Spirulina platensis and a special variation with an increased Selenium content. The study was performed with children at the age of 1 0 16 from radioactive contaminated areas in Belarus.Despite an improved excretion of radioactive substances the results show an especially positive promising influence on blood and immune parameters. Special attention must be drawn to the interesting results regarding the gastrointestinal area, the excellent digestibility of this natural substance and its acceptance of the test persons.Altogether, these positive results are encouraging to study the whole spectrum of the microalgae, especially Spirulina platensis and their yeast-free specialities, e. g. with Selenium within the scope of a comprehensive therapy and nutrition.
