  • 2800% more beta-carotene than carrots
  • 
3900% more iron than spinach

  • 600% more protein than tofu

  • 280% more antioxidants than blueberries

Spirulina is amazing (except the taste) I take it as a sub for protein shakes. It has tremendous health benefits and could help curb malnutrition for not only infants but also adults

Can you mix it with something to change the texture and taste without reducing its nutritional richness?

Yeah you can mix it with anything. I mix it with juice, smoothies, water and even oatmeal sometimes, but I wouldn't recommend the oatmeal mix if you're not accustomed to the taste lol. It also comes in tablets if you don't like the powder.

My mum is obsessed with this stuff! She's been hanging around some health conscious habbaryars and is now all about organic food lmaoooo


I like the pills better than the powder , the powder smells/taste horrid it's easier just to swallow it quickly in pill form. I love it tho, I've noticed I have so much more energy after taking them daily

 

[dhegdheer]

Yooooooooooooooooo you can grow this stuff yourself??? I won't have to spend an arm and a leg in Hollands and barrets anymore!

Naayaa Dhegdheer, Where do you buy the stuff? LOL.

It should be. You can buy it in any health and supplement store here in Britain.

Check Amazon if you can't find it.

Good luck waiting 1-2 months for one batch though I'd rather go to Holland and Barrett

America. Thanks for the link.

Let me know how it goes if you do it. It's too much work for me

I used to the 200g pouches and that would last me 1-2 weeks. Now I buy 1kg bags from a friend that owns a nutrition shop.

This one?

that's the pill one.

You can go for either. The powder is more versatile and will last you longer, I hate the taste tho so I stick with the pills

Too late, I bought the powder and same size bottle. Now, you need to write tips for mixing it. Brand name is different though than the one you posted above. As long as it is the same source of algae, it would be fine.

Be quick with the tips.

You're demanding

kkkk alright, With the pills you usually take 3 a day with your meal. With the powder you can literally just add it to anything, water, protein shake, juice, you can even sprinkle some on you cereal disgusting. Just 1 tbsp should be enough.

Just check the instruction, it should tell you on the package

Somali manner and method in asking a favor directed at another Somali is usually in the form of a demand and no "thank you" for giving your own hand and a leg to them afterwards Anything less is strange. I would have felt out of character and fake if I said "please" in asking you the favor.

Thanks though. This is easy. The bottle will have directions of use printed on it, but reading how you do it is reassuring as well. Checking multiple sources is always good.
