Has anyone tried incorporating spirulina tablets or powder into their daily regimen?

If yes how has it made a difference??

After reading about all of its Health benefits as a superfood supplement I am very eager to try it.

Hi Mishycake,

I was intrigued when I read your post so did some googling as I have Myositis but don’t have any experience of it.

I saw this online:

‘Some of the minor side effects of spirulina may include nausea, insomnia, and headaches. Still, this supplement is widely considered safe, and most people experience no side effects (2). Summary Spirulina may be contaminated with harmful compounds, thin your blood, and worsen autoimmune conditions.14 Jun 2019’

Maybe worth a read.
