Has anyone ever tried this as a supplement in the powder form? Is it as disgusting as I've heard? What benefits, if any, did you see? Thanks for any input.

It's like fishy slime. I couldn't stand to take it so I threw it out.

The reviews I read referred to "pond scum"

How does something like that sell if it's so bad. I've read how good it is for you -- ain't that the way.

I took it in capsule form several years ago and didn't notice anything good or bad.

It does sound like it does wonders but I didn't see any.

Side effects include liver and kidney failure. NO THANKS.

When I go to my local co-op, I like to go to their smoothie bar and get a smoothie, and one of the things that I like to add to it is spirulina.

I can't even taste it when it's mixed in.

That must be why the reefs are dying off.

@makena
I take it occasionally for an immune boost. Mine is in capsule form so I have never experienced taste/texture.
Yes, I felt my cold or URI was better.
Will look up and see which brand I kept around.
My experience right now is with using medicinal mushroom preparations (Lessman -- Immune Factors). I'm thinking this s could be in a category with spirulina... just shows what I know which is not much!

@esmeraldagooch @makena ITA with this brand. I have never taken it but do your research. You don't want to take a brand that has the nasty heavy metals/chemicals in it.

Thank you I did. It's the highest rated in the industry. Great ratings on Amazon also. I have had problems with breaking, splitting thin nails my whole life. After three weeks my hair and nails are strong and are actually beyond my finger tips. This stuff is a miracle worker.

Hi there, i have the tablet form too. Does your tablet dissolve in water? I got mine from Amazon (Nutrex Hawaiin Spirulina) and someone told me that if a tablet doesn't dissolve quickly then you aren't getting the benefit. So i'm confused if i am getting it., my tablet didn't dissolve, just a little bit. Also, do you take it at night with dinner or just the daytime? Thank you in advance.

I take the same version. The reviews of the powder were it tasted like swamp water.

I take three in the morning and three at dinner with food. One other benefit I did notice since Ive been taking them for a while. My eye floater is now gone. I read reviews and others have noticed this also.
