Spiraling is a great super food and provide many benefits to the he body. For me I think it helps to keep hair on my head and supports my immune system!!

This was my first time trying spirulina - got it for too high overall cholesterol (287) after blood panel. My next test is in November, so I marked my calendar to update my review if it helps or doesn't. I saw a lot of comments on messiness of this product and also on the taste and smell. You know how vanilla extract smells really really good, but if you taste it as-is, doesn't taste good at all? This spirulina was just the opposite for me - it smells absolutely horrible, but if you mix it with a sweet drink, it tastes just like the sweet drink tastes, yummy! I use diet cranberry juice or sugar free lemonade. On to the messiness issues, this is what I do. First of all, accept the messiness and the fact that some of the spirulina will get all over everything, including you. Take a pair of scissors, a medium size sheet of wax paper on your countertop, a small or medium wide-mouth jar and a measuring tablespoon. Place the pouch top side up on the wax paper and tamp down the powder as much as possible. Carefully cut the top of the pouch just below the self-seal opening. Put your jar in the middle of the wax paper, and slowly pour the spirulina into the jar. You can use the wax paper as a funnel to pour any spilled stuff into the jar. Seal the jar, rinse the green stuff off your hands, wipe the jar off, and place your measuring tablespoon beside it on a smaller piece of wax paper on your countertop so you don't forget to drink it every day. Also drink lots of water after drinking the spirulina - this will help to avoid constipation that may occur in some folks. Hope this helps!

Tastes awful by itself. But it has great benefits. Just be sure to mix it with something tasteful

Great product and much cheaper than the grocery store

Spirulina is a superfood. A complete protein, it is suitable for vegetarians or vegans. However, spirulina is relatively low in in the sulfur-containing amino acids cysteine and methionine. Consequently, it is recommended to also balance it out with whey protein powder, which is relatively high in cysteine. The health effects are amazing: For athletes, Spirulina increases endurance exercise performance and power output. It is very potent in controlling allergies. Spirulina can substantially improve blood lipid profile by significantly reducing triglycerides, while slightly lowering LDL and increasing HDL. For diabetics, spirulina will lower blood glucose slightly. For those with high blood pressure, it will lessen it. Spirulina can prevent or even reduce accumulation of fatty deposits in the liver. Spirulina is an extremely potent antioxidant. It is useful for asthma and COPD because it increases the antioxidants most important for the lungs. There is also a potent anti-viral effect. Spirulina blunts toxic mercury accumulation. Because spirulina is an algae, cultivated in shallow pools, when dried it is naturally a very fine powder. A few grams will give a rich pine green color to just about any smoothie. As expected, the quality is consistent with others I have tried.

I read where this Spirulina powder is good for me so I ordered some. My mom always told me when she'd force a teaspoon of cod liver oil down my throat as a kid, "Things that are good for you taste bad." If this is true, Spirulina powder must the the best supplement on the planet because it tastes like crap! I haven't found any food that tastes strong enough to mask its flavor but I plan to try some in spicy chili tonight. My wife makes me a smoothie in the mornings with a tablespoon of this stuff in it and the only thing that keeps me from gagging is thinking of how healthy it will make me. Bulk Supplements sent me an email with a generous but confusing offer. They wrote that if I would review one of their products they would send me a package of it! Then I read the rules and was surprised to see that I had to review a Bulk Supplement product that I had not ordered before. How is that possible? Were they temping me to lie? I was not about to violate my integrity by writing a fake review, as tempting as it was because I do like free stuff. I read other reviewers write that Bulk Supplements made them the same confusing offer, so I don't think it is an isolated incident. Personally, I wish I had read about this review offer prior to ordering because it left just as bad a taste in my mouth, figuratively speaking, as the Spirulina powder itself. I cannot honesty say that I have noticed any immediate beneficial health effects after consuming Spirulina powder but it may take some time because I have let myself go for several years. I can say it curbs my appetite, I feel so nauseous after my morning smoothie that I have no desire to eat more. Another thing I thought I'd mention, this powder is like a green food dye, a little tiny bit will make a smoothie very dark green, which could come in handy if you need green food coloring in a pinch. Hopefully I will soon start feeling the benefits of Spirulina powder and, when and if I do, I will report back!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HOW TO FIX ISSUES WITH THE BAG NOT SEALING PROPERLY --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First off, let me start with this little tip that will save you from the potential headache of the zipper on the bag not sealing properly. When the bags are filled, they are not sealed off by using the zipper, and instead the top of the bag is sealed instead. This leads to the product moving around in the bag during shipping and handling, which ultimately leads to it getting in the zipper tracks. The simple solution is once you open up the bag for the first time, take a toothpick and use the tip to clean out the inside of the tracks, as well as the outside of the single track. Once you do this, you will find that it is much easier to get the zipper to work, and that it provides a great seal. ----------------------- Product Review ----------------------- I am extremely pleased with the quality of this product. I am currently using this product in the hopes that it will help to reduce some of the effects of allergies, namely rhinitis, as well as its benefits for working out. More information about this supplement can be found at examine.com: https://examine.com/supplements/Spirulina/ Sure, the taste is somewhat fishy, but I am hoping the benefits will far outweigh the taste. As I continue to use this product over the next several weeks, I will provide an update with whether or not it has helped my allergies and rhinitis.
