KOS Organic Spirulina Powder - Pure, Non-Irradiated Blue Green Spirulina - Rich In Protein, Vitamins, Antioxidants, Fiber - Blue Green Superfood Powder, 13.5Oz, 109 Servings 13.5 Ounce (Pack Of 1)

لم يكن كما في الصوره المنتج الذي في الصوره عليه ملصق معتمد اما الذي وصلني يختلف عن الاصل

The container is A LOT smaller than I anticipated, (phot shows me holding it, and my hand is taller than the jar ) but it claims to have 109 servings inside , making it worth the price for the amount of servings alone . It is plant based, gluten free, dairy and soy free, no GMO and only contains spirulina powder , nothing else. BE AWARE - the packaging says it is “processed in a facility that may also process eggs, tree nuts, sesame, peanuts, fish, crustaceans, shellfish and wheat products “ so it may be best to avoid this if you have any of those allergies, just to be on the safe side . The powder is extremely fine so I recommend being very careful when you open the container. I got some on my hand and even thought he color is a very deep green/ blue , it easily rinsed off. There is a small scoop buried inside , take your time retrieving it and use a spoon to fish it out 🥄 There is also a small anti moisture pack in there too- do not consume that ! Spirulina Product has a mild scent but no detectable taste even when mixed with just water. I used a glass jar with lid to mix it with water by shaking it but I would imagine that a whisk or blender would work as well. It isn’t clumpy or difficult to dissolve. I’m going to use it everyday for this upcoming week and report back if I notice anything good/ bad associated with consuming this .

Going to be returning this. There's a warning on the label for lead exposure. The fact that this isn't anywhere the product description or shown in the photos is also super sketchy. Also, it doesn't even say it's a prop 65 warning, probably because there is more lead in it than what that allows for. I tried looking on their website for more info but in order to access their support center you have to create an account. I did find out that the State of California took serious legal action against them for failing to label a ton of their products with prop 65 warnings. And the Environmental Research Center Said they found that a lot of their products contain amounts of toxic chemicals that even exceed the allowable limits to qualify for a prop 65 warning. Amazon should also be a lot more on top of regulating and fact checking products being sold through their company.

I’ve been exploring with different super foods and powder mixes. And this one doesn’t have a flavor and it doesn’t smell so I can add it in any smoothie and know that I am helping my body.

Very good for the health.

From what I was reading about spirulina in regards to fitness, it seems that the benefits vary person-to-person. It reminds me of creatine and how some people swear by it and others don’t notice a difference if they take it or not. More research needs to be done, but it may be that people who have a higher amount of oxidative stress may be more likely to see a benefit from supplementing with spirulina. But I’ve also read that because it boosts the immune system, it could worsen autoimmune diseases like lupus, so use with caution. Some resources say to take spirulina before workouts, some say immediate after, so that would be worth experimenting with to see what works best for you. I’m a celiac (my condition is mild) and I’ve been taking one scoop after workouts, within 30 minutes of finishing. I noticed a significant improvement in DOMS post-workout. This includes after introducing a new exercise with a controlled eccentric component and pushing myself on that exercise. I have a tendency to be excessively fatigued, especially after physical activity, and this may alleviate a small portion of that. Not enough for me to definitively say it’s the spirulina vs. placebo. I will say, spirulina doesn’t taste great. It’s like chicken water. I would recommend mixing it with a drink flavoring packet (berry flavor works great), adding just enough water to give it a normal drink viscosity, stirring vigorously, then and chugging. I usually have to add a little more water and do another couple small chugs to get all of it. If you add it to bigger drink like a smoothie, you’ll just prolong how long you have to taste it.
