To combat these free radicals, you need antioxidants like Vitamins A, C & E, Zinc, Selenium. Spirulina is the world’s richest and only natural source of all these antioxidants.

There appears to be no adverse effects due to the usage of Spirulina powder, as long as the source of the powder is uncontaminated.

Spirulina Dosage

The recommend daily intake is 2-3 grams. Spirulina supplements come in tablets or power form.

I suggest the tablet form for those who may not like the taste, it’s very strong and if you’re not planning on making daily smoothies with it could be difficult to drink in powder form with just plain water.

You can take the tablets with a large glass of water in the morning, this way you get some of your daily recommended water intake with a healthy boost!
