Why Spriulina?? Ummmm...why not Spirulina??
I cannot express enough how much Spirulina has helped me out physically & mentally, stay energized and most importantly - stay healthy! Before Spirulina, I was constantly sick, lacked energy and was in a terrible physical state! I believe in this product wholeheartedly! Nowadays, I feel stronger, enjoy more physical activities, energized and can keep up with my 3-year old daughter a lot better! Prior to taking Spirulina, I did research on natural health supplements that can help give me more energy throughout the day. Spirulina came up in my list of results, so I researched it a bit more and found out it is the richest food source in the world!! A single teaspoon of Spirulina powder is filled with so many nutrients that aide in healthy immune function, better cholesterol levels and my favorite - increases energy!!

Having researched different companies that manufacture Spirulina - the most trusted source is Nutrex Hawaii Pure Hawaiian Spirulina Pacifica Powder. I have read the best reviews for this product brand and I am living proof of how great it truly is! Additionally, I am a big advocate on taking supplements in a powder form. I have always thought that taking it in the pill form is the easy way out and is not as effective! I will warn you that the powder form of Spirulina is a little on the intimidating side - it is a very dark green color that will scare some and the taste is not that appealing either! My justification of it all is that I would rather take 1-minute of discomfort consuming the Spirulina than being sick for a week! I think back to the times I had been sick and always said "I would do anything not to feel this yucky"! I consume Spirulina powder in different ways:
- Place a teaspoon of water in water bottle - shake until powder is thoroughly dissolved in water (TIP - must shake vigorously). Another TIP - you may need something to chase it down with because the taste is kind of terrible...I usually use a teaspoon of "Nocciolata" - an organic hazelnut-chocolate spread Nocciolata Organic Hazelnut Spread with Cocoa and Milk -- 9.52 oz
- Pour teaspoon in cooked (ready-to-eat) oatmeal
- Blend with smoothie
For those who battle high cholesterol, do some research on Spirulina and how it can help better your cholesterol levels; it is known to help fight off bad cholesterol. Source: Spirulina & Cholesterol. Just because you start taking Spirulina does not mean you can go out and eat terribly and have an inactive lifestyle! Most of us know that cholesterol levels will only decrease with healthy eating habits and exercise and doing that in addition to taking Spirulina can possibly help it move along a bit faster!
What exactly is Spirulina?
Spirulina is a blue-green algae that is grown naturally. It is power-packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and carotenoids. It has proven health benefits for increased immune support, prevention of cell damage and a natural source of energy.
For more of a deeper look into Spirulina, (ie: Is it safe during pregnancy? Is it safe for all ages?, etc.) see the FAQ's from the most trusted brand: Nutrex-Hawaii.
I did additional research about the dangers of Spirulina. If not purchased from a trusted source, one will face risks of consuming contaminated Spriulina because of where it is probably grown. Additionally, if one is taking medication, contact physician before taking any source of herbal supplement. There are certain diseases listed as well that warn against intake of Spirulina. Source: What are the dangers of using herb Spirulina? Make sure you do your own homework before taking any kind of herbal supplement! Even though Spirulina has the amazing effects, it is better to be safe than sorry!
After being a Spirulina consumer for the last 6-months, I have truly felt better than ever and have been able to enjoy life a lot more with my family and friends!
