I have never tried Spirulina until this past week. I’ve heard about it and all the great health benefits it comes with including blood pressure control,digestive,lower gi,cholesterol control. I’ve seen it locally but it was kinda pricey. A few weeks ago my family and I were at Sam’s Club looking at shampoo when I just so happened to come upon Nutrex Hawaii ‘s Protein Shake which also boasts Rhodiola and Ginseng in it as well. I bought it for about 25.00 for 14 servings but I only use like an eighth cup of a scoop. I mix it with water and an eighth cup of protein powder (Nutrex Hawaii Vanilla Protein Shake) and it’s light in calories(100 with a light vanilla taste. It doesn’t stain the teeth at least this one doesn’t.
One thing I found is that it can keep you full for awhile but not longer than 3 hours in my case. It also helps with bowel movement. If you drink it in the morning it’ll help you produce it either in the morning or sometime in the early afternoon. Even children can have it. Unfortunately for v she can’t handle the amount of spirulina in it but can handle smaller amounts of spirulina.
I’ll also be trying other spirulina and similar algae products to drink or add into smoothies.When mixed it darkens to a beautiful dark green.
