Spirulina Powder Form?

Question

My husband ordered Spirulina from Thailand. He saw the brand name from the Show Bizarre Foods. Anyway, we have tablets which say to take 4-8 a day but we also have it in powder form with no directions whatsoever. The website is www.gd-1.com. How do we use this powder and how much? My husband mixed it in some water and had one sip. He said it was horrible. What are the benefits?

Answer 1

The usual daily dose for a 150 lb. adult is 1 level tablespoon of powder. Mix in juice. Lots of people drink a health smoothie once a day w/ yogurt, protein powder or nut butter and various fruits blended together.

Answer 2

The first responder is correct; mix it in juice or a smoothie for better taste. Spirulina is a quality form of protein & antioxidants. It helps stabilize blood sugar while detoxifying the body, too. I take it in capsule form.

Answer 3

Mix it in small amount of juice or a smoothie. It has a lot of rotein in it. It powerfully protects from oxidant stress and strongly supports the immune system and a healthy inflammatory response.

Scientific studies suggest it may be especially good for the brain, heart, and immune system.
