SPIRULINA Greens capsules - any info

[Nak-Muay]

Just wondering what they are / their benefits

[Bateman]

I have nearly finished a tub, Supreme greens with Spirulina... (co Detox)

good source of protein (easily digested;) , low fat, highly nutritious, and works well as part of a weight controlled eating plan. Also contains many of the vitamins, irons and antioxidants that the body requires.

Detox could fill you in better..

Hi,

Er....

Can't find any studies, not even anecdotal in their support over normal foods...

I think supplements should only be used if they are safe (no threat to health), legal (within doping laws), and effective (on the basis of effective studies...

In fact, the only reference from someone I trust on spirulina in respect to a claim of proposed advantage of having a rich protein source gave the conclusion - proven advantage - probably not.

Eggs are still the most complete form of protein, followed by beef, then milk protein, then fish, then oat protein...

Is it not better for people to sort their normal diets out first? Until they do this, there's probably not even any need to buy supplements, even those with 'good science' supporting them...

Just a thought, nothing more, nothing less...
