Hundreds of studies have confirmed spirulina's powerhouse status. It has 60-70% complete protein, meaning it has all 8 essential amino acids and 10 non-essential ones that support good health. That's more protein than beef, chicken or soybeans. According to Balch, it contains concentrations of nutrients "unlike any other single grain, herb, or plant." Some of its other valuable components include: gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), linoleic acid, arachidonic acid, vitamin B12, iron, nucleic acids RNA & DNA, chlorophyll and phycocyanin, which is found only in blue-green algae and has been shown to increase survival rates in mice with liver cancer.

Spirulina is so pack-filled with nutrients that you could survive off it and water alone. Chlorella is another type of algae superfood, but it's also very effective at detoxifying and cleansing the body, specifically heavy metals.

I'm almost certain that taking both of these would signficantly help if you we're trying to get clean quicker, but what about its effect on tolerance? If two people took a t-break for two weeks, one took these and one didn't, everything else equal, do you think it would effect their tolerances any different?

Both of these can be found in green machine naked juice which I drink regularly, I use them in place of multivitamins

1.) There is very little chlorella and spirulina in those bottles. Quality is also unknown.
2.) Why would you replace multivitamins with this?

Chlorella/Spirulina ....the names just sound like std's ,,i dont know about this shit...

I can't see how it could, though chlorella is supposed to break down fat cells, so it might work. also, spirulina isn't as pure as its made out to be. if used in the long term its been linked to cancer, check wiki about it. but chlorella, im a massive fan of, and that's defo linked with anti cancer properties.

Any website that needs to say, "All content posted on this site is commentary or opinion and is protected under Free Speech.", is in no way credible or reliable.

This thread sucks. One starred for sure. Careful of the spam advertisements.

Spirulina is loaded w/ anti-cancer properties as well. Moving on...

"Some spirulina supplements have been found to be contaminated with microcystins, albeit at levels below the limit set by the Oregon Health Department.[SUP][21][/SUP] Microcystins can cause gastrointestinal disturbances and, in the long term, liver cancer. The effects of chronic exposure to even very low levels of microcystins are of concern, because of the potential risk of cancer"

Basically, it says spirulina is amazing for you but some spirulina manufacturers are contaminated. Products for ANYTHING can be contaminated. You have to find a high-quality source. I was also looking into a bit more and read that some companies use different types of cyanobacteria and claim it as spirulina, and that's what leads to side effects.
