5.0 out of 5 stars It worked for me, June 4, 2010

I don't always eat the best,as I am a single guy who works the night shift so when one of my health nut friends suggested this product I thought I would give it a try. In just one week I could tell my energy levels were up and I lost 2 pounds. When I'm at work and need a snack I take 3 tablets with a big cold glass of water instead of the usual soda and candy bar. Don't take it before you go to bed or you might not be able to sleep as I found out. It does give me a long lasting boost, and certainly helps controll my appetite. Neon green stool is a small price to pay,kind of cool in a weird way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Protein Boost, July 18, 2009

This review is from: Source Naturals Spirulina 500mg, 500 Tablets (Health and Beauty)

Spirulina solved some of my problems.

Often I don't have the energy to do much but sit. Imagine my surprise to discover that the likely culprit was occasional high blood sugar (I had always thought the more blood sugar the more energy).

Doing searches on the Internet, I found the suggestion that Spirulina may help problems such as mine. In further research I discovered that the Mayo Clinic actually found that Spirulina is a superior source of protein and is highly digestible (compared with beef, which is tough to digest). Spirulina contains zero sugar and only one carb, but is full of protein and vitamins. Spirulina is not medicine, it is food. Actually I believe, technically, spirulina is a food supplement.

As a food supplement, Source Naturals Spirulina is full of vitamins and minerals as well as protein. The ingredients include: Spirulina, Vitamin A, K, B-12, and the minerals iron and potassium. The spirulina "yields" 2 grams of protein per serving.

With the occasional high blood sugar problem, I have been instructed to avoid simple carbohydrates, especially highly processed carbohydrates. I am also told to increase the protein in my diet, but keep the calories under control. These instructions have been hard for me to follow. One of the better effects of spirulina is that it somehow reduces hunger while improving the balance of my diet. So, in a sense, I am dieting while eating three square meals a day.

With this food supplement, I can already feel some difference. So I recommend spirulina.
