Spirulina and chlorella are often sold as green superfoods. Check a real serving rather than only the nutrient percentage per hundred grams. For example, five grams of powder containing sixty percent protein mathematically supplies three grams of protein. This is a calculation example, not a label for every product.
Define the purpose
If you want more protein, compare meals containing eggs, pulses, dairy or another suitable source first. Forever Lite Ultra Vanilla can be used to compare labelled protein grams per prepared serving. Include the mixing liquid, energy, allergens and price in the calculation. It is not a spirulina product or an established detox method.
If the flavour of algae interests you, check origin, ingredients and available contamination controls. Organic wording alone does not replace testing. Some blue green algae products can have toxin contamination problems; this does not mean every product is contaminated.
Avoid unnecessary promises
Do not rely on algae to remove heavy metals, treat disease or provide your only B12 source. Coordinate supplements with medicines and individual needs. Food and a chosen powder should have a clear nutritional purpose rather than require a stack of green products.
