Pure Hawaiian Spirulina Tablets, Vegan, 500 mg, 400 Count

Spirulina, classified as a microalgae, is great stuff and this is a particularly good brand. Slightly more expensive than NOW brand , but much better tasting. I've been using spirulina in one form or another for many years. Some of things it has done for me are improve my vision, at night and during the day, greatly increase my energy and stamina, help me breathe better, speed up my reaction time, lift my mood, stabilize my blood sugar and the list just goes on. . It makes me generally feel younger. Not to g et too scatological, but it can also make your poop green due to the high chlorophyll content, so don't freak out if you see that. Chlorophyll is actually a great substance, very detoxifying. It's the equivalent of our blood, in the plant kingdom. Personally, I do not go by the suggested serving size on the bottle of 'six tablets'. I might have in the beginning, but that was many years ago. I'm what you might call a 'power user' now, so I often take fifteen or more tabs at a time, and might do that more than once a day. After all, spirulina is a whole food as opposed to an isolated, synthesized supplement', so I don't see any problem with taking it in such amounts. It's safe enough to do so, and you will really notice its benefits more dramatically by doing so. Since your body recognizes spirulina as a food, it is much better assimilated ("bioavailable") than supplements per se. . And yes, it may turn your poop green, but not to worry, that's just the chlorophyll at work. Chlorophyll is a great detoxifier, and spirulina has a lot of it. Personally, I do not chew up the tablets, nor do I swallow them with water. Instead I suck on them and let them dissolve in my mouth. Strange as this may sound, over the years I've been taking spirulina, I've found that for me, at least, it seems to be the most effect way of maximizing its benefits. It may be because doing it this way allows some of the salivary enzymes in the mouth begin to absorb the nutrients in the spirulina before it gets to the stomach, and some of the nutrients are probably absorbed by the many blood vessels in the mouth in a sublingual, trans-buccal fashion, like when you take a homeopathic remedy, for example. . Whatever the explanation, I find this works best for me. I also actually like the taste of spirulina, which I'im sure helps. . I take them between meals, because I think that like some herbs and other substances, they're more effective that way. One warning: If you dissolve them in your mouth as I do, the chlorophyll will make your lips, teeth, tongue, etc. very GREEN. I once was sucking on my spirulina tabs while driving on I-95 and got pulled over by a state trooper, and after he was finished with me, I realized that my lips, teeth, etc. had been totally green the whole time I was talking with him. This guy must have seen everything, because he never even batted an eyelash or said anything. Or maybe he just thought he was hallucinating, I don't know. Anyway, I can't really say enough about spirulina as a valuable source of nutrition that will give you astounding energy, without the various issues of coffee, etc.. (even though I indulge in coffee a bit). The only thing I ever had which gave me more energy was blue-green 'Klamath Lake' algae,, by CellTech, but I started working about the reported significant pollution in Klamath Lake and stopped taking it. But spirulina is grown in carefully controlled man-made 'ponds' so contamination is not an issue. I've worked in the vitamin departments of health food stores and taken a panoply of supplements of all types in my life as well as doing quite a bit of research into such things, and I can honestly say spirulina is at the top of my list of 'supplements' that really work. You just cannot take it and NOT notice its benefits. .

I send this to my mother to help her protein sources since she’s elderly. According to my AI, this exact brand is the BEST in the world right now in terms of actual freshness. I’m happy I chose this for my mama. ♥️

Very good and super natural! You fill a lot better just after 1 week using this product! Highly recommended to everyone!

Excellent product.

I am giving this product a "hopeful" 3 stars even though it surprised me by giving me several very uncomfortable days and nights since its arrival into my regimen. I am "hopeful" that this terrible discomfort will pass in time. When it arrived I noted that the single serving was 6 tablets. So, being a very long time user of the blue-green algae and aware that it can cause certain side-effects, I thought I'd try cutting the dose back to 4 pills for a week or two. On the fourth evening I noticed some very uncomfortable stomach problems when I went to bed and assumed my usual side sleeping position. I did not, however, relate this immediately to the spirulina. Two days later I was in full blown gastric distress, very uncomfortably bloated, and seriously considering a doctor. But, before calling for an appointment I realized the only thing I'd ingested differently was the new spirulina tablets which had given me some warnings. I thought I'd try cutting the dosage back to two tablets and increase my water intake. The bloating subsided and the pain in my intestines diminished, but the distress is still there and I am still not feeling comfortable. It has been a true trial so far, but I am hoping to not feel that I must completely discontinue this product. Update to follow. UPDATE: By taking only two tablets for two weeks and then three tablets for two weeks I found that my system could tolerate that much without any discomfort. I then tried the full dosage of four tablets until I felt the tell-tale sign of gastric distress. I tried cutting back to three tablets, then four, then three, then four and so on. No problems at all. I'm still doing that because I am determined to get my spirulina and my research shows this to be one of the best labels in the business. It's worth it!

The ai got it wrong. The bottles are no longer glass. Have been using this version of spirulina for years and still love it but the bottle is no longer glass. It is a plastic bottle. Don’t really like that but it is the same as their competition I guess so I’ll take it with a grain of salt. I use it for acid reflux and at times less is more, so taking 1 or 2 before each meal.

Really good stuff to take everyday for many reasons. I normally buy the 16 oz bottle of Nutrex spirulina powder and take approximately 2-3 heaping teaspoons a day but have not had the chance to restock after running out because the price for it here on Amazon fluctuates all the time from $24 to $40 for the same product. That is because it is always sold by different sellers! The loose powder form is the best way to take it because it is unprocessed without binders and other ingredients to form tablets. I purchased this jar of spirulina tablets as back-up until I restock kthe powder form and for its convenience of being able to pop them in my mouth anytime I need without having to mix with a shake or drink. Tablet form is easier to administer to my dog as well, whereas I normally sprinkle the spirulina powder into the dog food. There are so many spirulina tablets and capsules available online but most of them come from India and China, then processed in the USA. Spirulina from India and China have been found to be contaminated with lead, mercury and arsenic. No thank you! Nutrex was suggested to me from my holistic doctor who has a friend who has visited the Nutrex farm and knows it is safe of heavy metals and contaminants. I take spirulina for its anti-aging properties, skin and eye health, rich nutrients to boost immunity and to fight all kinds of day to day radiation, including the terrible Fukushima radiation already sweeping onto our west coast shores from Japan. If you don't know what I am talking about, do some online research and be informed. For now, I plan on taking spirulina everyday for the rest of my life and so far my favorite trust worthy brand is Nutrex. If you found this review helpful, please click "yes" at the bottom. 👍🏽👍🏽
