Spirulina & Chlorella?

johnprimeaux

I am curious about the benefits of daily doses of Spirulina & Chlorella. I hear lots of good things about it on websites, yet very little talk in forums about it. Anyone out there have any experience with the use of these supplements?

When you have questions or doubts about supplements, examine.com is absolutely the best place to look for an answer. I hadn't heard about these two supplements yet so I'll read through the articles myself now.

I don't think any studies have been done on humans, only in-vitro and on animals. I did find an interesting source of information at the University of Maryland website http://umm.edu/health/medical/altmed/supplement/spirulina (sorry, I can't do links..), which suggests there may be some benefits, although not proven and with quite a few caveats.

It did mention to make sure you use a good brand - all blue-green algae absorbs mercury and other heavy metals depending on where it is grown.
