Fat Loss & Performance Benefits of Raw Spirulina (food not powder) - Thomas DeLauer…I want you to forget everything that you have ever heard about spirulina. I want you to forget everything that you know. See, most of what you have heard about spirulina talks about it in a supplement form. Now that's all fine and dandy, okay? It's not bad in its supplement form, you still get the chlorophyll side of things, you still get the detoxification process, but what I want to talk about today is spirulina in its raw food form. I'm talking literally like eating algae. I mean, not literally going to the pond and scraping algae off and eating it, but essentially eating spirulina in its raw state, where it can elicit some pretty darn powerful effects.
Now you're probably thinking it's going to taste absolutely terrible but when you hear me out and I reference some of those studies that show you exactly how much fat loss can occur and how much in the way of performance increase you can expect, you're going to absolutely be blown away.
The study that I want to reference was published in the Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise. It took a look at the effects of spirulina supplementation in exercise in nine moderately trained males. So these are people that have done a little bit of exercise but they're not super athletes.
These subjects were recreational runners that had trained for at least a year and they trained for at least a couple times per week, usually 45 minutes per session. Now each of these subjects received either spirulina or a placebo for about four weeks, and each subject ended up running on a treadmill for an intensity that was about 70 to 75% of their VO2 max and they did this for about two hours and then again 95% of their VO2 max all the way to exhaustion.
Now what they ultimately found was absolutely crazy. Researchers ended up finding that the time to fatigue after the two hour run was significantly longer after spirulina supplementation, 68 minutes versus 79 minutes in the spirulina group. Now what's even more impressive was that ingestion of spirulina also ended up decreasing carb oxidation by 10.3% and increased fat oxidation by 10.9% during the two hour run. What that means is that the body used less carbs and burned more fat by a significant degree just by having this algae in the mix.
Now furthermore something that is known as thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances, yes, I know it's a mouthful, but we'll refer to it as T-bars, those levels increased after exercise after the placebo group but not the spirulina group. Now to give you some context, T-bars are byproducts of what's called lipid peroxidation. So spirulina supplementation ended up weakening the exercise-induced increase in lipid peroxidation. I know I sound crazy but all that really means is that spirulina was able to clean up the efficiency of fat utilization, making it a lot easier for the body to use fat and a little bit more difficult for the body to use carbs.
Now these increases in performance that we talked about can happen for a multitude of reasons, but the main one is the fact that raw algae form spirulina contains something known as phycocyanins. See what these phycocyanins do is exactly what we talked about in that study. They help the body utilize more fat and a little bit less carbs. They help the body preserve more in the way of carbohydrates and use more in the way of fats.

it seems from reading the paper that they used dry spirulina. Although i cant be sure because they did not explicitly specify(at least i could not find it). however they did reference the contents of dry spirulina on more than one occasion which leads me to believe that is what they used.
Hey Thomas, I hope you could read my message here. Could you please help me to clarify about the claims on cytotoxin found in blue-algae (including spirulina) please? I was just about to start taking spirulina in its freshest, raw-form like yours (but I grew my own using gallon water, in a safe water tank exposed to indirect sunlight, because it does not ship to my country) but reading all those claims that it could damage the liver really got me worried. What worse is that some of the claims also say it could cause ALS, Parkinson, etc. Would you please help us that still wonder about this? Thank you very much man. Much appreciated.
Just make sure you find a reputable source
Hello Thomas , please can u clarify the B12 problem in the spirulina ? they say that the B12 in the spirulina is fake B12 and its not the real one , thank you for the great video !
I like to know this as well. I don't see you caring to respond to any questions, more importantly this one.
It depends on the studies you find, I guess. I just googled this question and from the American National Library of Medicine, a study from 2019 shows that it does improve b12 status in rats.
doi: 10.1111/jfbc.13038
The study doi: 10.1016/j.jfbc.2022.104464 says that algae-based nutrition such as spirulina contains a "pseudo" b12 and an active one but a much higher quantity of "pseudo" b12. Relative 1.5-2 times more.
There is a paper from 1991 doi: 10.1093/ajcn/53.3.695 this study did look at the combination of nori and spirulina and does say that children with b-12 deficiency did show to absorb b-12 but their MCV further deteriorated and recommended further studies and questioned the b-12 bioavailability in these algae
Simple, it's unclear if spirulina is a problem for vitamin b-12, if it can cause b-12 deficiency but the recommendation from Webmd is that if you have b-12 deficiency, you should look elsewhere.
From the study Spirulina in Clinical Practice: Evidence-Based Human Applications it's considered to a safe food.
Conclusion if you have b-12 deficiency. Maybe don't take it. I don't know to be honest. Hopefully this was helpful
Yes, but the study you sourced was dry spirilina. Maybe you could show the "off the charts" results.
I def noticed these results with chlorella as well..
Do you buy Broken Cell Wall?
Rach Kate of course.. im sure that sp2 farm grown stuff is even better though.. check the pricing as spiro should be less
Good info but way too expensive.
A number of drying methods studied for the processing of Spirulina (crossflow dried, spray dried and oven dried) resulted in approximately 50% loss of phycocyanin.
Ive been adding spirulina powder to all my shakes.
But you do have to read the ingredients. Because not all companies are offering the same. I actually saw some that had sugar added. Go figure..... I doubt I can get this in aust. Will look it up though.
I'm in Oz and I don't take spirulina anymore I take chlorella and make sure it's broken cell wall.
I have a naturopath who can find things from all over the world- maybe find a good one where you are.
I have a beautifull Raw Spirulina conection in Guatemala by the Lake Atitlan in Town of San Marcos .Wow guys this is powerfull Medicine ☀️🍀🌊
Is SP2Life still in business?
I will check these guys out thanks 👍
It's pricey but, I'm in! I subscribed and I Love it!
How do you order? Their website isn’t allowing anything?
good sell
Aww Thomas, hey don't ship to Canada. Does anyone know of a raw Spirulina Supplier that provides to Canadians ?
Zachary Jilg bulkbarn
We ship to Canada and Europe every week. Fresh harvest every Monday from our Florida farm. www.rawlivingspirulina.com
I went to the site and they don’t have it for sell, did they discontinue it? The last blog on the site was 2018 December
Hi Thomas, Have you watch " The Magic Pill " ? What do you think? Yay!! another geeky video. 😁 👌
Question if you have time my good friend is a bodybuilder ans he has a hard time getting rid of fat between skin and muscle how to shed WITHOUT steriod
I do have spirulina pils from Greece, hope it will help me.
Is it good for circulatory system for muscles to be that developed? Just wondering what happens to body structure over the years.🤔
I know one thing for sure I’m getting a lot of muscles everywhere!!!
How do you use it, do you inject it with your anabolic steroids?
How can i use spirulina when i do intermitting fasting ? and i consume it before or after training ??
where do you buy this in Brussels/ belgium??/
please make a vedio about BCAA

Chlorella vs spirulina?
Little Voice they are both great but do different things
you just rock !
Can you take spiriluina on a fasted state
Hi can you have it when doing a fast
do u have an updated review and links that work?
The farm spirulina will never be good as the natural spirulina
The natural has way much more minerals chlorophyll and all the other vitamins
You should mention that
I know they pay you for that but honesty is more important
While this is great and I am definitely a fan of Spirulina... most of us would have a hard time justifying yet another insanely priced supplement to add.. Raw spirulina is very pricey.
Can we take 'SPIRULINA' to break fast
Does spirulina break a fast? When is the best time to get it?
I usually eat it while I break my fast, usually in a shake.
E3AFA is the most nutrient dense rich food on earth.
Lol new Esther testosterone algae
If you think $95. is too much you're right, you're not worth it
If you think health is expensive, try sickness!
I found the Sabrolina at the store Dxn sold high quality and at a reduced price when using the discount code 819350493 and the company has branches in most countries will find it immediately when you use Google Maps
Chlorophyll is better than spirolina
Spirulina has chlorophyll IN it...
Ingrid Finicle chlorophyll is 5x better than spirullina
Bokimon use both .
Very interesting! Best regards from London!
*Thomas can you please analyze yesterday's 'The Truth About Carbs' documentary that aired on the BBC last night in the UK?*
*They didn't acknowledge insulin resistance or the amount of people for whom freezing then reheating resistant starch makes no difference from a weight management perspective (I'd been freezing then reheating breads, potatoes etc for over a decade and only cutting them out of my diet entirely has helped) and the study on spitting out carbohydrate drinks that trick your body into anticipating them was interesting.*
*Thanks- link is here: **www.dailymotion.com/video/x6layky*
Rach Kate You can eat all the carbs you want but keep your fat intake low, about 10%. Carbs and sugar is not dangerous nor will it make you gain weight AS LONG as you do NOT mix it with fat. Fat is causing diabetes and not sugar. ALSO you are probably gaining weight because you eat too many calories than what you burn. So don’t cook your food with oil! No oil EVER. End of story.
Your Local Redhead fat doesn't cause an insulin response
Sugar doesn't cause an insulin response either BUT sugar and fat COMBINED does! The fat you eat, let's say when you have carbs cooked with OIL or BUTTER blocks the insulin from circulating around in the body and then gives you diabetes! But sugar alone IS NOT DANGEROUS and will NEVER give you diabetes or weight gain ever! It's just pure bullshit! FRIED stuff will kill you but never a lemon juice with added sugar... Total BS from the government to get the diabetes industry going. Trust me.
I just watched that video and it seems to go along with everything that people like Thomas and Dr Berg
Are saying.
Your Local Redhead yes carbs and fats together are bad but you blamed the one thing that doesnt cause an insulin response
Ordered from spirulina from Thomas DeLauer recommend Thrive market. I am not impressed that it was sourced from China.
$95? Little too pricey for me.
@Chief Thundrecock EXACTLY GL acids and Phycocyanins are active in powder form..Nutrex Hawaiian Spirulina on Amazon is an excellent product, from someone who's been doing the powder for over 10 years now..."fresher" taste than most.
Delauer has legit information but this sponser shit is frikkin Robbery! Lmao
Just grow it yourself lol. Literally the easiest fastest growing thing in existence
I trust more the traditional Okinawa way of eating spirulina; and the spirulina we can get in east asia: the dried algae just for adding water.
Thank you for the research about the benefits of spirulina Thomas !
Regards.
I like the taste of the spirulina tablets that I get here in Japan. I'll take 30-40 and just let them dissolve in my mouth. I recently got some chlorella and that doesn't taste as good. It's kind of bitter and grassy.
just ordered some. can't wait to give it a shot! thanks Thomas!
Wondering how you liked the Sp2?
updates?
Where did you order raw spoiling?
Thomas DeLauer - Super interesting! At MINUTE 5:58, the visual states that heat spraying kills off phycocyanins and linoleic acids. Linoleic acid is the starting point of the ω-6 family [18:2; ω-6). This isn't something particularly desirable. Verbally, you say "linolenic acid", which is desirable and is the starting point of the ω-3 family. [α-linolenic acid; omega-3] Could you clairify which one is correct. I'm in if the answer is α-linolenic acid.
Tomas Nofziger The answer is gamma-linoleic acid
i'll have to try it out when i have some extra spending money.
Hey Thomas, in regards to intermittent fasting, does spirulina trigger an insulin response?
Was there mention of the effects of powder in comparison?
no.. he leaves u hanging like an annoying female that leaves a man with blue balls.
When is the best time to consume it brother? Morning, pre workout, post workout??
B. Hamilton All of the above
The best time to consume Raw Living Spirulina is first thing in the am upon waking since Spirulina does not contain a cellulose wall it can be fully absorbed through the stomach within minutes of consuming. Post workout is also great as Spirulina contains all the essential raw amino acids to help rebuild and repair the muscle tissue cells.
So, this is better than whey? Looking for that substitute for the post-workout. Is it slow absorbing? I could look it up. Thanks for the video
You can have it raw in powder form...?😶🤔 Many powder forms aren’t raw yes but let’s give more facts if we are going to mention this so as to not confusing ppl, so as to come off biased. Raw form is also “sun-dried” isn’t oxidized and maintains raw complex. Also if it’s below 115 degrees it’s still maintaining nutrients. The studies you mentioned are based on studies and performance, which makes sense given your background but does the company have records and certificates on the product and testing? And where is it sourced? This is important to know and sincerely asking. 1
$95 USD for a month supply.... I'll pass
Tri Shake, I do agree that this video feels like an ad but he does give credible sources regarding spirulina, if you have academic papers showing otherwise, could you please share them ?
Regarding the price, I guess the price is steep partly because this is new technology, they have to cover for r&d and investment, give it time and popularity and the price will decrease
Yeah, you get similar results with the powdered form.
roy romano No. You don’t. I promise, as an SP2 user myself, and not paid by them, your comment is 100% based on a biased opinion. You don’t workout hard enough if you really think powder is the same as a flash frozen straight from the source.
Chief Thundrecock
Could you give me a brand and where to get it? Lol
@@richguev I get mine from kyanosfarms.com. These guys do it right, and the servings are large and PACKED full of goodness. Try it, you will love it.
What about contaminated blue green (spirulina) algae that contain the neurotoxin bmaa that has been shown to be a contributor in brain diseases like ALS?
Brooks Ive looked into that a bit- and i think the key there is in the word 'contaminated'... these guys have a super clean production facility and run regular 3rd party testing to ensure the product is pure and clean. It's being produced in Israel where they are serious about quality.
Sorry not knocking the company he mentions, but generally sourced blue green algae that may not be as good of quality.
These numbers don't impress me and are insignificantly small.
Hey Thomas, so when would i consume this? 30 min to 45 min before my crossfit class with my preworkout?
i train 3 h every day and fast, but no way i ever have the strength to eat something with such an awful taste
Only bad quality spirulina has a bad taste and bad smell. Good quality spirulina has almost no taste and smell or a pleasant slightly sweet taste and smell. Best quality spirulina comes from Hawaii or Holland or Taiwan - avoid China spirulina, the cheapest and most common.
Hey Thomas, what do you believe is the best way to optimise your brain for a 3 hour exam? My current approach is dry fast the day prior to exam and then have mct oil, bone broth and water on the day of the exam, but am wondering whether I should add some carbs in for an insulin spike to help deliver more nutrition to the brain in that period? Or would the energy required to digest those carbs offset the benefits? Thanks mate, much love
Thanks mate
But he answered on where to get the supplement
Zac Colbert Sounds Like You Are On The Mark!
Natural nootropics!
i think youre way overthinking all of it lol
Just got some fresh harvested Spirulina from Southeast Queensland. Now I’m broke.
Is this product that you advertise certified organic? If not I don’t believe its clean and not toxic...
How do they compare to Energy bits ??
Where can i get this supplement?
John Vasquez it’s in the description, bud

Hey Thomas, when you click on your link it shows the price in cart at $95.20, but if you scroll down the page it says $85.00. Which price is it really? Happy to buy at $85.00 if that's the price!
Digging into their website It looks like that is the cost for a subscription but they are giving a 15% discount on a 1-time purchase so we can try it out.
Sorry dude- this one's a fail for me. The web site sucks so bad- it actually pissed me off. No dosing info, no 'contact us' info. Just one big page of platitudes. Not sure why- other than money- you would endorse such an amateur operation. I like most of your content- this however D.O.A!!
I was actually waiting for a spirulina video from Thomas
This was really really good. It my be hard for some non health or medical people, but wow, I love the way you organized it.
I’m not a health or medical person at all and I get it. I’ve been taking the pills and running 7 miles when I couldn’t do a lap before. I think this is harder for medical pros because they are against it and in favor of pharma.
Thomas. If I'm fasting, and working out in a morning fasted state, can I take Spirulina before the work out, or will that break my fast?
Males again... women studies? .. " scraping the bottom and eating the algae " .. 😂 when you swim in a lake swim you do that anyway 👌💪
I read this stuff will cause B12 deficiency, scaring me to death. Some are talking brain damage and irreversible nerve damage in the body.
I'll try it next check for a month and see..
Thank you for this great information. How and when would I consume raw spirulina? Can I put it in the water that I drink during a workout? I’m very interested. Going to check out their website right now.
Raw Living Spirulina is amazing right off the spoon just like almond butter. It is creamy gourmet almost no taste. It is best mixed into fresh coconut water.
@@rawlivingspirulina8221 - how do I purchase spirulina. I don't see a link on your site.

Is breaking my fast with spirulina optimal for bodybuilding, or should I eat rice then drink spirulina for that insulin spike.
Did you ever figure this out?
Yes I need to know too
Unfortunately they only deliver to the U.S. Any idea how to get it in Europe?
Can I put this in my Coffee?
could you do a video on moringa please?
Fasting right now but just cant bring myself to eat algae. Just a step too far. Am i alone?
I've been a (dried) spirulina consumer for years-- and it's gross. But this fresh spirulina has really changed the game for me. I really don't even know it's there beside the color in my lunch smoothy. but- i feel fantastic. Maybe the VitaminB or maybe just the nutrient load. I really feel great. Take that for whatever it's worth!
Dang I wish I had muscles like him
Hi Thomas
No effect from spirulina in practice
Hello. Is it ok to drink nuun hydration tablets for early workouts while fasting?
Who thumbs these videos down?
Always, LOVE your videos! Always cutting edge, helpful, educational information. I applaud how thorough you are and look forward to your future videos. By the way, you keto/butter coffee recipe is PHENOMENAL! The cacao powder makes a huge difference. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
anyone ever try blue green algae?

What is your take on spirulina containing a pseudo Vitamin B12, as per dr Joe?
It doesn't bind to the receptors so it is safe.
Cool Stuff...
What is the difference between spirulina and seaweed?
Spirulina is a single cell fresh water cyanobacteria micro algae. Seaweed is a multicellular macro algae or plant that grows in the oceans.
Yuppie $$$ crap. I'll stick to caffeine. 9.99 for 200 doses
I found the Sabrolina at the store Dxn sold high quality and at a reduced price when using the discount code 819350493 and the company has branches in most countries will find it immediately when you use Google Maps
they don't ship to europe that sucks and i can't find an e-mail or something to contact them :s
tuneitup it's made in Israel they're too busy killing Palestinians to ship to Europe
thx for the great response :p
Great video! How to find out the amount once should consume per day? And when is it best to take it? Cheers :)
Fresh Raw Living Spirulina is a whole food. Not an isolated synthetic nutrient like most supplements. You can literally live on it. 1-2 ounces per day will provide your body with the vital micronutrients you need for the day.
TY

no option to buy it on their website...
nvm they shut down
Is this an iodine-heavy food?
