[SerenavanderWoodsen]

I have just started taking powdered spirulina powder for my skin, hair and immune system,,it tastes AWFUL in water but if u use a little blender u can diguise the taste but not the green color,, anyone use this or interested holler

I have taken spirulina for a long time as part of my diet. It's a great source of protein. I prefer the tablets rather than the powder form though.

 

[deejoy]

I take the powder. The taste doesn't really bother me, especially compared to my greens supplement. I usually drink it in water or sprinkle a little on food.

 

[nelli711]

What does it taste like?

Spirulina is included in this protein drink, I drink every morning for breakfast. It also has enough vitamins for a multivtamin for the day. It's yummy. It's called "whole foods protein powder". They sale it at Whole Foods.

I have used Spiriulina for many years, mostly in tablet form. However, after trying E3 Live, I'm thinking about switching. It's very good. I don't worry about the taste, as I only take in quick shots ... like wheatgrass shots... better to do it quickly and not look at the color too long

 

[KeraKrazy]

I have the powder and I think it tastes disgusting and the green colour puts me off any drink I try to mix it with. I sprinkle a little on my meals throughout the day and it doesn't taste so bad and I don't have to put up with it turning everything green.

i use to take it religiously but now I take it every now and then when I don't want to take my nasty kelp.

Spir. gave me a sense of well being and helped me to loose weight.

I take it in tablet form (currently trying out NOW brand). I've been taking it daily for about 3 months now. I take it for the health benefits (not as a "hair supplement) - it provides fatty acids, antioxidants, and protein. I really think it helps to give me an energy boost and keeps my immune system strong!

I've taking it for years. I take in tablet form, but I did get some capsules and would break those open and put in my smoothie a couple months ago. When I did not mix well, the taste was a bit off-putting, but I forged ahead away. I am back on the tablets.

 

[Shimmie]

I take both the powder and the tablets. I mix the powder with juice (Bolthouse Farms C-Boost and a little apple juice); it's thick but it's also filling. I love it.

You know that it now comes in several flavors. It has for quite some time. chocolate, strawberry, banana. You shoudl check out the local natural foods store, or your local vitiman shop. You can get 1 packet of a different flavor for like .99 so you can try it out.

For anyone who doesn't like the taste of spirulina by itself the Odwalla Superfood Micronutrient Juice contains spirulina, I'm not sure how much but it's in there,lol. The Juice is dark green, it looks disgusting but the taste isn't half bad.

 

[mercedes826]

I just started take it about 3 weeks ago. I take them in tablet form. I'm taking mine for overall health.

I eat it daily in powder form. I add it to Fresh OJ or eat it in Organic Unsweetened Applesauce. Love it!

I was having horrible pain yesterday (due to ovarian cysts) and I went to a herbal shop and they recommended Spirulina in conjunction with Vitamin E to help cysts disappear. I took some last night and early this morning and the pain is pretty much gone.

 

[*Muffin*]

I use it. I've been using it for about 4 or 5 months now. When I first started using it I put it in water...NEVER AGAIN . That mess coagulates and tastes like grassy mud. The best way for me is to take a teaspoon of it, toss it in my mouth, and swig water behind it. But I've gotten used to the taste, so it's not nasty to me anymore. It sounds weird, but I actually kind of like it now. It's salty, lol.

 

[lsw29]

I take spirulina for the health benefits, the hair growth is just an extra benefit.

 

[mj11051]

I use spirulina and chrollea everyday in my veggies I juice. I try it in apple juice egadsssssssss!!!!!erplexed But it works wonders on the body.

 

[SerenavanderWoodsen]

O my goodness, this thread is pretty old,, i gave up trying to take that stuff a longggggggg time ago,, just tooooooooo nasty lol,, it was impossible to drink,, like green mud

 

[mariofmagdal]

I work at night and Spirulina provides the stamina and energy I need to keep going. It is awesome for overall health benefits for those who can take it.

I love spirulina! A day is not complete without its fishy green awesomeness (no homo). At first I thought it was making me tired and giving me nightly headaches, who knows mayhaps it was, but I changed my diet for the better and retook it. Now I feel so much better. I started by taking (I use the powder form and rather enjoy the taste) half the recommended dosage and gradually bringing it to a teaspoon amount.

 

[Platinum]

I have some of this in capsule form but I haven't been consistent. I'll have to step up my game because I'm taking Chlorella as well.(Been consistent with Chlorella though )

[Ganjababy]

sounds good! but i could not stomache the powder, i had to get the powder compressed into capsules, on the other hand i love the chlorella powder taste

I tried this drink the other day and it was pretty good....it looks gross...but its really fruity..lol...it boggles your mind!

I also like the Naked Juice Green Machine drink....i'm not sure if it also has spirulina in it...but these drinks both taste exactly the same to me.

 

[Chicoro]

I finally can take spirulina and chlorella and enjoy them! The only thing that cuts the taste for me is to mix with grapefruit juice. I take 1 tablespoon of spirulina and and 1.5 teaspoons of chlorella.

 

[january noir]

^^^ Thanks for the grapefruit tip!

I want to add Spirulina to my diet along with my Chlorella.

I need the energy around a certain time of day. Driving home from work (1 hour) I get REALLY sleepy and I am afraid that I will have an accident.

I don't know why but no matter what I do I get sleepy. I have tried drinking coffee before going home, but it just makes me want to pull over and go to the bathroom.

 

[prospurr4]

I take both spirulina and chlorella...both in tablet form.
