Question:
Due to the presents lifestyle, its good that many are taking health supplements daily to maintain good health.
Ever since the first vitamins were discovered early in the last century, nutritionists and dieticians have told their patients and the public at large that it is
not necessary to take supplements if you have a balanced diet
. Unfortunately due to our hectic lifestyle, many do not eat in a balanced way, and no matter how careful we are with our diet, we can never be sure if we are consuming the entire spectrum of essential nutrients our cells require for optimum health, AND that makes us require additional vitamins and minerals.
As stated in many health magazines too that the widespread health and age-related problems prevalent today are preventable with the right nutrition. Without optimum intake of these nutrients, the functions of the cells can be impaired, and in the long run, this may contribute to age-related conditions and degenerative diseases.
It is also advised to avoid taking supplements that contain just one or two specific vitamins or minerals unless your doctor or state-registered dietitian has advised you to. This is because vitamins and minerals work in harmony and an excessive amount of just one can impair the absorption or effectiveness of others. Correct balance is important.
In addition, you should be aware of your total nutrient intake if you are taking more than one supplement product a day. But tracking nutrient intake can become difficult when taking a number of single supplements. There may also be a risk of overdosing. Supplements sometimes contain over ten times the level of vitamins that we need.
So my problem on taking a number of single supplements have been solved ever since I swtiches to
SPIRULINA
. Beside spirulina has a combination of over 70 ingredients

Answer:

i mean no offence to you as im sure u're trying to help the rest of us here.
it wouldnt hurt to have more info. :P
"However there is little scientific evidence of the nutritional value of spirulina and blue-green algae and there are many respected sources, such as The Berkeley Wellness Letter who believe there are none. Moreover it has been suggested that such supplements can be easily contaminated with microcystins and heavy metals"

Answer:

No worry, don't forget we are here to share.
Actually I do have done some search online... but there are many types of blue green algae.
That is why its an extremely important point to make here is the quality of the product being ingested. Look for Spirulina which is internationally accepted, well respected and meets international quality standards.
Below are test done on blue-green algae products by the Health Canada and their results. They found
NON-Spirulina
blue-green algae contain microcystins but
NO
microcystins were detected in products made from only one type of blue-green algae, that is
SPIRULINA
.
