Spirulina is an underrated functional food. Whilst I personalise all nutrition and supplements with my clients - Spirulina does show impressive benefits across the board.
- exercise performance
- fat oxidation with endurance training
- the ability to increase glutathione
- provide nutritional value such as glycine and other minerals
- be more effective at supporting iron physiology than supplements in pregnant women such as anaemia.
- supports digestion with a mild binder of mycotoxins and heavy metals, and endotoxins.
Spirulina is one of the primordial food sources or starters of life.
I wouldn’t say it’s superior to creatine, as exercise performance is the goal, but creatine has massive financial backing from supplement brands cashing in. Spirulina is treated as food.
The studies I’ve seen on it - make your eyebrows stick up. This is what clinical nutrition looks like. In the weeds looking for specifics and applying context to clients individually.
I personally see no effects with creatine and don’t take it - I think it alters the water cycles in my body as most of its from corn or other gmo sources.
You don’t need to take anything in reality. But supplements can help you in times of need or context.
Have you tried Spirulina, and if so, what did you notice apart from the taste 😂
