John's avatarJohn

I enjoy the Spirulina, it gives me intense energy and use it to provide my B12 nutrients. The only downside is my shit comes out green,.

But that is the measure by which you gauge that you are taking enough. If it's not green, you need to take more spirulina

I'm a greens junkie and the powered greens as spirulina mixed with OJ or veggie/fruit smoothies seem to be my main food source over cooked food ,of which I now only buy at cafes etc. No sickness , oodles of energy ,stable moods(not easily stressed), and that clean fresh feeling you get is only some of the benefits. I find that my craving for junk food diminished because the body is nutritionally satisfied . I recomend it to anyone and I consider it one of my main food sources

I am 77 years old and has been taking spirulina for almost 2 years. I find that now I can drive my community bus for 600klms without getting tired. Also I have a very big garden and find that I get the energy to cut all the lawns and edgings without getting tired. I certainly recommend Spirulina to everybody that needs that extra serge of energy. CARLO TASMANIA

I used to have flashes of light from my left eye and I have seen a opthalmologist and was diagnosed to have macular degeneration due to high myopia. I was asked to come back if the flashes of light worsened because it may cause retinal detachment. I started taking spirulina as a supplement and after about 1-2 yrs, this flashes of light has gone completely

Spirulina saved my life - 1 tsp daily with minimal water or organic apple juice. I wasn't digesting food and couldn't eat much. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder, malabsorption, malnutrition, leaky gut, fibromyalgia and gluten sensitivity. Spirulina was easy to absorb and provided me with the vitamins and nutrients (esp. protein) that I was lacking. I truly believed I would not have made it had God not directed me to Spirulina.

Felicia...Thanks for your testimony. I am battling with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. I don't want to take meds that the doctor subscribes. MY husband bought powdered spirulina and I think I will try it and hope it helps me feel better and gives me some energy, just so I can cope. Keep me in your prayers. Jan

I as well love Spirulina.  I had (notice that I said: HAD) fibromyalgia, IBS, Rheumatoid Arthritis, IBS.  First DUMPED the Gluten from my diet (see the book:  Wheat Belly by William Davis) then added then added Magnesium (Jigsaw Brand) and then added  Spirulina and Chlorella to my diet.  No more disease, feel like I did at 30 yrs old (now I'm 70) and have the bowl movements of a 20 yr old.  Am loving all the positive changes in my health.  Go to NO alopathic doctors since they don't seem to know anything else but to prescribe a pharma drug which I will not take.  Loving all the comments on this herb.

I take the Spirulina powder along with Clorella. (It all tastes pretty nasty so why not get them both down at one time) Plus, you receive so much more nutrition with taking both....complimenting each other :o)

I have suffered with atopic dermatitis on my face for about 5 yrs. Spirulina's high potency as an antioxident has helped immensely. It has also helped with the inflammation. I have tried EVERYTING, medicines, supplements and herbs, with average results. Spirulina has been the most effective!!! It truely does what it claims!

We have been taking SpirulinaOz in Australia, powder form for a few weeks now, in water, my improvements have been no more heat headaches, much more energy, clearer thinking and for my dog who is getting on in years, she used to shake intermittantly, chin and legs - this has ceased! The vets had no idea why this was occuring and I had put it down to old age. Just a little in her drinking water. Extremely impressed and dont mind the taste at all and neither does she.

I take this great spirulina and chlorella supplement from Onnit. When you cook vegetables or eat cheap salads, you're often getting little more than just fiber and water. You're missing out on tons of alkaline-forming vitamins and minerals. Usually those green-food liquified supplements taste nasty and are really hard to down. Onnit makes a great supplement that helps the body detoxify and provides all the benefits of eating tons of greens without the hassle.

I love Spirulina! I've been dissolving the powder form in Orange Juice every day once or twice for 4 months now. My eyesight improved, I don't wear my glasses anymore. It has great energy benefits. I don't get sick with cold either ( used to all the time). I want to tell the World about it!

i took 3 spiralina tabs after lunch today, and now i feel sick in the stomach and feel like i need to vomit, is this normal?
Tiffany's avatarTiffany
Could be that 3 tabs was way too much for you all at one time as I don't know how much was in each tab that you took.  But for a whole lot of people it is best to SLOWLY add this or any other herb supplement to your diet so as not to upset the gut with something totally new.  I take mine with freshly juiced fruit and I take 3 caps (mine comes in cap form) once/day.  Try taking the herb slowly like 1 cap/day with Aloe Vera Juice (tastes better than water) for couple weeks then next week add another for a week then of course take 3 caps next week and from then on always with Aloe Vera Juice (settles the stomach) and always paying attention to how your stomach reacted to the herb.

Is this product any good for Fibromyagia? As lupus is mentioned. I don't have lupus but it says it csn stimuate your immune system which coud have a negative affect.much appreciated.samantha mslibra
Sampride13's avatarSampride13
If only I could spell: 0). I meant to say stimulate the immune system which could have a negative affect,this is the part that worries me,it could make my symptoms worse.please advise me.
Tiffany's avatarTiffany

Yes it is marvelous for alleviating fibro....had fibro for 30 yrs (30 yrs of misery I might add) and now thankfully it's gone gone gone.  Stimulating your immune system is what you WANT.  You really need to read and understand how the immune system works as it will help you understand how a healthy and active and stimulated immune system helps repel disease (of any type). Spend some time with Dr. Google and ask about "what is the immune system"  "how does the immune system work", etc.

I have been using spirulina in my smoothies since 1992.  Yep, that's 20 years now.  I used to be a distributor with the company Light Force out of Santa Cruz, California.  It was so difficult to talk to people about this super food as main steam America is so used to fast food and processed food.  But I have hung in there and still use several products from it's spin off company, Royal Body Care.  If anyone would be interested in signing up to become a member of this company and receive 25% discounts on the retail price just let me know.  jllvr@sbcglobal.net.  Joan

My family, including myself, have always had digestive issues one way or another. Due to this I tend to keep a fairly healthy diet including fresh fruit, veggies, grains, etc... Still I needed something to help things along and this supplement is working well for me. 
I have been taking 2 pills of Fiber Cleanse when I wake up and 2 pills about 8 hours later in the afternoon (this routine has gone on for about 3 weeks now). My bowel functions have regulated and become easier. I do not feel any nausea upon taking these pills on an empty stomach and the pills do not have a strong taste or after-taste. 

I have also felt a slight change in energy level. I am usually a bit fatigued and sore due to anemia, but lately I have been feeling less fatigue and a bit more energy. So far there is nothing I do not like about this product and I intend on keeping up with my daily routine.

I have been using a tablespoon of spirulina powder in a 32 oz smoothy 2 to 3 times a week for the last 13 months. I went for eye checkup 36 days after starting and to my surprise, the doctor told me that my vision improved and needed less powerful prescription. Can't wait to go next week for yearly checkup !

I recently started to use Spirulina powder. I bought the NowFoods powder. I did an internet research on the product and I am becoming skeptical. I am afraid that Spirulina does not actually benefit me as much as it claims. Does anyone feel the same way? Did anyone find out something negative about it?? Please share! I would very much appreciate it!

I have just started taking this stuff and will report back with my experience. Initially I feel a bit of anxiety as I have taken probably in the neighborhood of 10x the normal dose recommended on the bottle in a means to catch up to all you healthy folks. I am worried I may turn green as this stuff makes anything green it touches.

Interestingly despite your thorough breakdown of it's positive nutritional factors you haven't mentioned it's high content of the mineral potassium, which it is actually a great source of.
