What is the general opinion on spirulina?
I would like to know everyone's opinion on the following:
- Is it really as great as they say? Or is it just a fad? I read somewhere that it is the most nutritious food on the planet. Is that just marketing?
- Where do people buy it?
- Fresh or dry?
I heard that the powder tastes terrible and loses some of the nutrients in the manufacturing process. There is little information on the fresh product. Has anyone found any good sources?
- Have any of the athletes here noticed any changes from taking this product daily?
I do a lot of gymnastics and am looking for something to give me energy.
Yes, the taste of the powder seems unpleasant to many, so it's often easier to take capsules. The fresh form is almost never found, as it has a short shelf life. Athletes have reviews that regular intake helps to recover easier and feel a little more energetic, but the effect is soft and cumulative. If you try, it's better to start with small doses and see how it goes.
