Spirulina

Hey guys.

Been reading up on Spirulina and started supplementing with 3000mg as of Monday. Just curious how many of you guys have used it and if you find it helps with your energy levels at all?

I tried it a while back and found an increase in endurance, but no real get up and go type of thing. For a natural product it's not bad.

I use 6g a day & it works gr8, only multi-vit combo I will ever use. Gives gr8 energy, last through out the day. Can really feel how tired I do feel when I didnt take it that day.

I also started using spirulina about 1month ago. I alternate with wheatgrass and spirulina at 5g/day. You really feel a energy spike within 5min after taking spirulina. Only thing is the powder tastes awful. Rather get it in tablet form

Didn't even know you get it in powder, using the tabs. I don't notice an energy rush but I think its helping with energy because usually I feel tired and sluggish in the afternoons around 3 and so far this week it hasn't happened. I asked the question just to make sure its not a placebo effect

Hmm, I must try this.. I'm always tired... or more lazy.. I don't know but ill give it a bash

That is the way to see if it really works. Most of the times i take it mid afternoon when i'm starting to feel run down. Its not really a energy rush but more a mood uplifting effect. Really is a great supplement and good source of protein. I buy it in powder form from a company that sells it to the "brands" that put it in pill form. Think i pay R145/kg excl VAT. This compamy has a whole range of stuff like milk thistle; wheatgrass; chlorella; msm ect which you can buy directly from them in larger quantities. Its mostly in kilo lots but really cheap. If you want i can give you their details. Im in Cape Town area but they do have branch in Joburg if im not mistaken

You guys/girl should try wheatgrass powder as well. Really amazing stuff. You can actually feel how your body absorbs it. Excellent anti oxidant with good vit and miniral content. Its not called the juice of life or plant blood for nothing;)

I take half the dose in the morning and the other half at lunch time. Yes please I would love the details, Im sure everyone else would too if its fine with the mods

Cool! Hope im not stepping on any toes here. They are wholesalers in various industries. You get a certificate of analysis with everything. Check out their website and product list and contact them. They are warrenchem specialities. The web address www.warrenchem.co.za

If im breaking any rules here pls just edit the post

Oh I have actually heard of them, my dad used to get stuff from them and I might have ordered from them before but I cant remember. Anyways thanks ABC01

Hey ABC, thanks for that link. How do you take the powder, how bad does it taste and how much are you using daily.

I take 5g/day either spirulina powder or wheatgrass powder. You can take more if you want to. The wheatgrass powder is quit bad but the spirulina tastes awfull. Just weigh it off in a glass, add water, mix and drink as fast as possible

cool, ta.
