NOW Supplements, Certified Organic, Spirulina Powder, Green Superfood, 4 Oz

This is a real honest review from a real person. You may contact me if you wish to know more. My first week on Spirulina was interesting. Let me first start off by saying I misjudged the people here complaining about taste. I have a strong stomach so I tend to ignore these types of complaints & whines. The first thing you need to know is that this is a freshwater blue green algae folks, I'm not sure why you're all expecting it to taste like gourmet food. After getting the Spirulina I popped it open. It was perhaps the deepest green color I'd ever seen. It looked like it came straight from a lush rain forest. I poured about 6 ounches of water and 1 tablespoon of the Spirulina into a protein shaker, shook it up and proceeded to slug it down with a big gulp. Let me remind you I have a super-strong stomach. As the first slug made it half way down my throat I gagged and almost heaved on spot. I was truly not expecting how bad the taste was to come. I've eaten some funky tasting supplments/powders before, non of which prepared me for this taste. The people on here calling it pond scum are being polite. Now, that is the negative part. You'll notice I still gave this product 5 stars. The same morning I first tried Spirulina I brewed myself a large cup of coffee from my Keurig. After I chugged the Spirulina I got a super happy pro-active energy burst. It was like a thermogenic fat burner without the jitters. I ended up forgetting about my coffee and 3 hours later was working strong on some things I had to do. So far I'm getting through the taste through gritted teeth, but the way its making me feel is worth it! *** Update Week 3 *** - Tried 1 tablespoon in apple sauce to dilute taste. This did not work and still tasted bad. - Successfully mixed in one tablespoon with veggie shakes. Reduced taste and was drinkable, but I'm lazy and don't make shakes every day. - I've heard things like grape juice can cut the taste but have not yet tried this. - Taste has not gotten easier. Buying a $20 easy capsule maker to capsule the powder.

I've been using this organic spirulina powder for a few weeks now, and it's become a staple in my daily routine. The deep green color is a testament to its purity, and I love that it's free from any fillers or additives. I primarily mix it into my morning smoothies, and it blends well without overpowering the flavor. One of the biggest benefits I've noticed is the sustained energy throughout the day. It’s also helped improve my focus, which has been a pleasant surprise. The fact that it's packed with protein, vitamins, and minerals makes it a perfect supplement for my plant-based diet. Plus, knowing that it's organic gives me peace of mind about what I'm putting into my body. If you're looking for a high-quality spirulina powder that delivers on its promises, I highly recommend giving this one a try. It’s a small investment for the incredible health benefits it provides

As a vegan and someone who try many different type of supplements this one is true it very effective easy to mix with water easy to swallow it very much does give you energy and good for extra protein do recommend 10/10 no side effects at all

I take 2 teaspoons of Spirulina powder every morning in my protein shake. It’s really made a big difference in my day to day life. The one pound Jar is so convenient. A teaspoon fits down the opening with plenty of room. I will be buying this again and again.

For starters, this really does smell and taste like fish rump. Big time. I opened the lid and the smell literally whaffed (may not be a real word but in this instance, it suits) around me and my kitchen. My dog, lying lazily on the floor, sprung up and ran for cover. It took every ounce of will power to spoon it out and add to my morning smoothie... And every day since. HOWEVER, this stuff is pretty amazing as far as effects are concerned. I first noticed that after a couple of days (of near vomiting during each preparation) I hadn't taken my daily heartburn pill but I had no heartburn. I don't know if this is a known positive but hey, I'm certainly not complaining. Second, my energy levels are up, hunter pagns are curved, and I haven't sprouted fish gills. So I call it a win. (Hint: add banana. It mutes the putridity)

Good quality,

When I prepared my first dose of this product I got myself psyched up to down it because of some of the negative reviews I read before buying saying how awful the taste was. Well to those of you who wrote negative reviews about the taste I have to say that you were exactly right... initially. So I choked it back and I felt like I was going to chuff it out half-way down but I made it through and surprisingly I felt fine when it was over. Like no different than knocking out a big glass of water fine... Like afterward, not during; and I found it very agreeable with my system. No tummy ache etc..So the taste didn't improve for a while and I repeated this ritual every morning for about three weeks. It got better. I mean this stuff isn't Kool-Aid. It's algae. ALGAE. I accepted this and So did my palate and today the taste doesn't bother me... that much. I guess there was a breaking in period for this stuff. At least for myself. Sound have I experienced any noticeable benefits? Yes. More sustained energy throughout the workday. Subtly, my overall awareness has increased... like spatial memory and overall mental clarity. I'm feeling a little sharper I guess and that's good being at work 10+ hours a day; and during my workouts I seem to recover MUCH quicker between sets than before. Anyway I could go on. So, for those wanting to try this stuff I would say be prepared for it to be some rough stuff. This isn't a drink for pleasure, it is a drink for health. But like anything else good for you, it'll take some getting used too. I believe the benefits for me are far outweighing the getting used to the taste part. Five stars.

this right here... this right here... this is the @#$%! my head is clearer every time i take it. I have extreme allergies to mostly everything including certain foods & this not only has seem to make me feel better after some horrid meal but given the potential results i have experience with the product i would have to say there is more going on to said product & would theorize that it is a possibility that if taken with right vitamins, three things would happen depending on the person. #1 nothing absolutely happens & just doesn't work for you so taking it with anything won't yield any results. #2 taken has made you feel better or more so which mean this product is for you. #3 If this is working then take with other vitamins, such as either Mental vitamins (Ginkgo Biloba), Physical Nutrients for muscle (Whey Protein) or Stamina (Ginseng) to increase absorption rate to yield better results. I have done the Spirulina & Ginkgo Biloba not only is my head clearer but my recall is a tad sharper then if i were to take said Ginkgo by itself. P.S Warning taste like dog food if put in water by self. advice: would be either to add the juice that is to your liking with 1 teaspoon of Spirulina per 6oz-8oz, 3 times over the course of a day, which would then equal a serving that is a tablespoon. I have come a custom to making soup with it now, I am a born cook so Spirulina can't even stop my soup from being yummy lol.

Good product. Recommend!
