Please consult your doctor before you decide to start using any medications/new diets/exercise routines to be on the safe side of things.

Thanks. I thought its a super food and can be taken safely as a supplementary food.

Spirulina has the highest protein and beta‑carotene levels of all green superfoods, and also has naturally occurring GLA (Gamma Linolenic Acid), a popular fatty acid with numerous health benefits. In addition, it is the highest known vegetable source of B‑12 and has naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, trace elements, cell salts, amino acids and enzymes.

Here US , it is sold at the grocery stores and health food stores. I only have it occasionally at a healthy juice cafe. They put it in their wellness shots.

Checking with doctor is always a good thing.
