It is important to bear in mind that the real beneficial effect comes by taking about 20 grams per day. This is approximately 3 teaspoons. So you can see that taking about 20 tablets, or 3 teaspoons of powder in juice a day is necessary for these more striking effects. It is understandable that one needs to take a reasonable amount. It is only with this amount that one is getting the content of the nutrients that are necessary to have the effect.

10 grams of Spirulina contains 10% of the recommended daily allowance of protein intake.

Spirulina is a very easily digestible substance because the cell walls are not like the thick and hard cell walls of plants which are resistant to digestion, but are very easily broken down. The nutrients in Spirulina are therefore very easily absorbed.

It would hardly seem necessary to do toxicity studies but it fact, these have been done with no signs of toxicity on large doses. Studies have shown no problems in any organs and studies on reproductive functions in offspring had shown no deformity causing qualities.

It should be noted that while Spirulina has quite dramatic effects in helping with a number of body problems it has been stated that when Spirulina is combined with other treatment methods, such as other specific vitamin/nutrient formulations, Spirulina will definitely enhance the effects and a more Positive outcome will be obtained.

The most interesting and positive aspect of taking Spirulina is the ensurance of an intake of the nutrients that the body may require, including unsaturated fatty acids and carotenoid pigments, and particularly nutrients for energy. When one looks at the nutrient intake contained in Spirulina it is very impressive. An excellent way to obtain an enhanced energy level and to ensure a more allmline body state is to take 10 grams of spirulina per day by either up to 20 tablets (500mg each) or 3 teaspoons of powder (3 grams each) or a combination to add up to the 10 grams. A drink can be made by adding 1-2 teaspoons of powder to cold juice with half of a banana, mixed in a blender (Spirulina cocktail). There are other inventive ways to ensure that your daily Spirulina intake is high, eg. eating Spirulina in biscuits and health food bars.
