I want to share the health benefits of Spirulina. This blue-green algae is one of the top superfoods in the world today. Its nutritional profile is loaded with chlorophyll, B Vitamins, Vitamin K and minerals such as zinc and magnesium. It is also a great source of quality protein if you aren’t getting enough in your diet.
Here are the top 5 benefits of using Spirulina:
1) Detoxes your body of heavy metals (especially arsenic which is found in pesticides).
2) Protects your body against radiation poisoning.
3) Helps fight cancer because of its detoxifying benefits.
4) Nutrition powerhouse--lower cholesterol, balance blood pressure and fight diabetes.
5) Helps boost energy levels.
I use Spirulina every day for my health by adding it into a superfood smoothie for breakfast.

I quit drinking coffee - I work at night and make a large Spirulina/ Chlorella shake with pineapple chunks, mixed greens , organic juice or coconut water, avocado, lime juice and drink this during my shift. I have ten times the energy that I did I with coffee.
Hello. What brand do you use? Did you feel nauseous or have pains like certain people have spoken about?
Noice. I love coffee though, what's wrong with coffee?
Really
CaliCruzin What?! I have to try this! By 5pm I am DRAINED! I don't drink coffee. I need an energy boost! Thanks for sharing the tip!
Very nice!👍🏻👍🏻
I used to be very very sickly before, but ever since I started drinking spirulina, I never got sick anymore. It's really incredible!
What brand?
@@aliciamccarter4788
I use 'Sara's Choice'. other people recommended this brand to me.
How many grams a day ?
@@johnjimenez2262 3 grams a day :)
@@aliciamccarter4788 hawaiian pure spirulina is the best
I have been taking it for 10 years with chlorella and it’s amazing what’s happened to my body. I didn’t feel this healthy 50 years ago when I was 14 years old. I actually feel better now than I did then. Detoxing is the best thing that ever happened. NASA uses the stuff
@Etherealpantheon they said they've been taking it for 10 years
@@SolidGeddoe Apparently he's died of spirulina toxicity.
I live in Cambodia. Hundreds of thousands of people are recovering from many things because they are taking spriulina. It's the most sought after supplement nowadays.
Brand???
Recovering from what?
I usually suffer with burning pains in my body after exercise n then total fatigue but after supplementing with spirulina and eating more fruit I haven't experienced any burning,pain or fatigue. Fantastic
My detox daily ritual:
1. Spirulina + chlorella cold drink
2. Hot lemon water
3. Hot acv
4. Vital shot (turmeric,ginger,lemon,honey)
5. Manuka honey
6. Loads of water
7. Cold pressed juices
8. Supplements (antioxidants,minerals,probiotics,vit d,phytonutrients,enzymes)
9. Salad wraps or hard boiled egg, boiled meat with veggie broth or any meat like broiled salmon, Snacks: organic kale chips, olives, whole wheat cereal as a snack
10. Green tea at times
11. Acupuncture 1x a week
12. Coffee enema 1-2x a week
13. Nutritional iv therapy 1x a week
14. Massage
15. Enough sleep or rest
16. Power walk sometimes
Stephanie Guersey moderation dear
Stephanie Guersey
What brand Manuka Honey do you take? Thanks
Stephanie Guersey you should add gonstead to the list
Eggs and meat are not detoxifying
Mankuna honey is very expensive you must be loaded
Nice man, I really love your videos. You break it down in a way no one else does, and make it simple to understand. Much love and respect.
Have it at bedtime the cooling help with sleep
@@ryananthony407 The spirulina? I use Hibiscus flower for sleep. Best sleep remedy I have ever used, it actually puts me to sleep.
Thx Doc. I take this stuff everyday and feel great!!!
Not only does Spirulina boost my energy, it also helps with my depression. I have been taking capsule form for two weeks, and I definitely notice my mood is better.💯😎🙏
Md Mainul hassan dhiman I take two capsules per day at 400mg. My plan is to take this for a while, perhaps two months or more.
It's been 1 yr since you commented, are you still taking Spirulina and how is your healthy now?
@@NansGlobalKitchen No, I don’t take it any longer. I believe I am healthy enough now I don’t need it.
i agree! it boosted my mood 💯
Try lithium orotate 5mg and see how you feel.
Every Indian on every rez should have spirulina every day. We are massively exposed to arsenic, radiation, heavy metals, not to mention diabetic problems due to poor diet. Thank you for great video. I bought both from Frontier coop and am capsuling them for me and family. I can't eat even one regular store apple because of my arsenic level. Organic apples are an expensive treat.
I am curious, why is it higher on reservation? Thx
*native
thank for this this is still yet the only INFORMATIONAL FACTUAL video I can find on spirulina
Dr Axe, you and your family (including Dr. Jordan, lol) are such a blessing! Thank you for your service and stewardship! 👍💎!!
Am I the only one that’s hearing him pronounce it correctly 55 times? Thanks for sharing doc!
great video man! LOVE IT! LOVE SPIRULINA! how about an video about Chlorella! both Holy foods for me!
251 doctors who love to treat people with chemicals disliked this video 😁😁
doctor in this nowday is asshole
Money doctors
It’s all natural smh no man made harmful chemicals
😂😂😂😂
Other doctor are so hungry in money
I have it in my kitchen but scared to drink it, but now that I have heard of all the testimonies I'm going to start drinking it now thanks alot
Thanks Dr, Axe ! Just received mine today! Putting it in my morning smoothie!
Same
thank you so much for your videos! they are life enhancing!
I have been taking spirulina since late 90s . It is great addition to your daily vitamins and other supplements . Glad, that Dr. Axe
open that topic.
Benefits are amazing recently I I have started taking spirulina regularly( in tablet form)
Great video. I am a great believer in eating the way nature intended. I take spirilina, chlorella, and Maca powder daily in smoothies and they certainly help me in many ways with energy mood and health.
When did nature introduce smoothies?
@@AdrianH1970 😂
I have ITP and Spiriluna saved my life as a child. I stopped taking it as a teenager and recently in my 30s I came down with ITP again and in a very critical way. Yes I went under treatment that helped but when I was sent home I started to take Spirulina again, and my health changed drastically again. I totally believe in this product and would highly recommend to everyone. Now I will for sure never stop taking it.
😢😢😢 this is why I need it, I heard the same thing about it working for ITP, doctor said I was fine, I’m order this to keep health up, because I sometimes get scared
IPT??? What's that?
Thanks Dr. Axe. I'm a big fan of Spirulina. Appreciate your videos.
I've been taking this superfood for over a month. AND it has a VERY GOOD EFFECT😍. I'M PLANNING TO MAKE AN HONEST REVIEW ABOUT THIS SUPERFOOD. GONNA UPLOAD THIS ON MY CHANNEL SOON. ❤️
GREAT, Thank You for the additional knowledge. For me 2 heaping teaspoons every morning.
My smoothie:
1 tbps of Spirulina
1 tbsp of Maca powder
1 Banana
1/4 Orange
A little blueberries/strawberries
1 cup of Almond milk
1 tbsp Cannabis oil without thc
2 tbsp of Honey
2 tbsp of grinded oats
I think you should not mix carbohydrates, oils and sugars at the same time for digestion. Its bad.
Dr Axe, thank you so very such for this video. love the information.
Thank you so much for this very valuable information, Dr. Axe.
Great information, GOD bless you.🌿
Spirulina, pineapple chunks and a bit of warm water is the bomb smoothie in winter 👏👌👍
I love your videos! You just got a new fan :)
This video is really helpful to me since i am starting to use spirulina.Thank you for sharing this.
As always brilliant - could you do one on vitamin B3 - John
Spreeleena is an excellent source of Spreealana and can be used to boost levels of Sproaleena for people suffering Speleareena deficiency.
Abaddon Interitus lmao still love the guy,,haha.
Abaddon Interitus lol

Yes, but....can you take all 4 at once...? 😂
Rozzy Rozz 😂😋
Thank you Dr. Axe for the information you have in your tube channel ... ..
Thank you Dr. Axe. You are one of a kind!
I had miso soup, and read to put Bonito flakes in it. I figured spirulina may work well too. It actually is pretty good soup.
Me too. 😂👍🏼 everyday in my Smoothies. I'm Vegan now but I did it before I wasn't Vegan!
I love your channel ! It would be super nice to see a morning routine video by Dr.Axe :-)
Great video very helpful much respect keep up the good work.Dr Axe
Spirulina has such a beautiful dark green/blue color, and I drink it everyday in a smoothie.
Yes, because pretty colors are the key to health.
“Spree-you-lee-nuh” hahaha
I love spirulina and now I like the tast. First I used to add it to lat milk and I love to mix it with banana and raw cacao and it is good with cacao and mint together
I didn’t know it could be a helpful probiotic. That’s great.
It also if consistently taken can boost your energy in a natural, safe way. Also this wasn't precisely mentioned but Spirulina-algae also has a naturally formulated component in Spirulina itself called "Phycocacycain" just look it up whenever. it has a natural anti inflammatory reaction when taken found in Spirulina algae! I research in depth a lot to gain the full outlook on things.
Thanks & God bless,
- Dr. Duce lol
Good info. Spi-ru-lin-a is truly a gift from God! 😊😊

Dr Josh, thanks for the info man. Just a warning to avoid mentioning anything to do with ''fighting cancer'' we like having you around and not in jail. Have you made a video concerning Amygdalin / Vitamin B17 / Laetrile ???
Hi there, dr axe kindly do a video of spirulina allergy or protein allergy. I tried to take spirulina and my immune system apparently took it as allergen. So please post some research regarding that . Thanks a lot
Spirulina has helped me a lot in combating my GERD. :)
I love this supefood.
Wow I have GERD pretty bad I’m going to try this!
@@sonnygray6801 me too. I hope it will help
Can you tell how if helps with GERD?
Thanks dr Axe I love your videos 😌
Hey, what do you think about the concerns with spirulina? such as liver toxins and brain toxins.
does it extract other metals from the body like copper and the other metals we need?
I've just bought some capsules and hope this will help me with my stomach issues. I suffer from bloating and can't eat oily foods. The pharmacist recommendation this as they did not have probiotics. Fingers crossed🤞
it's a great day by day product I use with my wife and kids
Please draxe, make a video about ovary and uterus health , thank you

Great video!! Which is better powder or pills? Is this safe for my four year old toddler?
I just got a tub today! I’m excited to add this to my daily regimen.
Does spirelena give you anxiety?
Love All Your Videos.
What Do U Have For Arthritis?
I've consumed it for years. I put a heaping spoon in 16 ounces of water with lemon concentrate, garlic powder, onion powder and soy sauce. 😋
You've consumed it? LMFAO
@@Kube_Dog😭😭😭
@@ImEg0 Don't forget to like my comment, so that I can continue to produce the kind of content you enjoy.
Spirulina is indeed a super food and I've taken it over the years. My only reservation about it is that it has a cooling effect on the body and doesn't feel good if I take it in the cold winter months
Do u take the powder or capsule?
When I used it i took I took the powder in smoothies. I do take Chlorella in powder form@@AliceChishi-dx1iu
Thanks for the info!!!!
Well, while I have started using it more…it does and is very pungent smell. Mixing does help. Hope to be able to keep taking it though ☺️
What about BMAA? There is so much conflicting info out there on spirulina, and I would love to know your opinion on the latest research. Thank you.
Please do a video on Helichrysum. Im trying to make a topical cream for severe chronic pain & im trying to research which oils to add. Also, I read your article on cannabis oil, would this be useful to add to a cream or would hemp seed oil be a better option? Im reluctant to take any oils orally because of stomach problems.Thank you, your videos have really been a big help x

tk you nice addition to my smoothie would you please have any advice of supplementation ,superfoods which i could incorporate into my diet to help with dupuytren's contracture any information would be so greatful
Tastes awesome in tomato sauce with spaghetti.....children will love this recipe.
Utterly brilliant. Never thought of using it in my V8. Thank you. I get bored of drinking it in water.
This video was released more than 4 years ago. Would you still recommend it as food supplements nowadays?
SPREEOLINA
detossifies your body from arse-shnick and protccs from rayashun poisoning.
I know! He kept saying spree a leena. Funny.
🤣🤣🤣
OMGAWD!!!!!! He's killin' me!!!!!! C'mon Josh!!!!!!!!
😂
i brought some of this today, the smell is not so good but the Taste is awesome in with Organic carrot juice.
Wonderful explanation
A health practitioner told me recently to take Hawaiian spirulina for eliminating heavy metals, free of contaminants, the very things we want to get rid of. She also said to eat cilantro but not in big quantities or it can make you very sick.
Cilantro made me throw up once. Its taste is definitely strong.
Many are trying to compare with Hawaiian Pacifica Spirulina technology and clean sea environment doing indoors and branding it organic. Sincerely they are hardly close to it!
It's true! Spirulina and cilantro combined detoxes the heavy metals fast out of your body. If the process happens too fast, you'll have a bunch of heavy metals flowing in your blood stream. I'm an extreme person/very OCD. I always over do everything like a fool. Anyway I went too hard with the Spirulina and cilantro and I felt like I was at deaths door. No joke! I felt super light headed like I was going to pass out and not wake up. It's a hard feeling to explain, like I've never felt like that in my life. Be careful 💀
Hey dr axe, in the future you should provide links to your sources. Thanks.
Thankyou for sharing your knowledge
I'll buy spirulina...thanks dr. Axe😊
Great video. I just started taking spirulina a few days ago. Please more videos on superfoods and on maca powder if you can.Especially for someone with PCOS and hypothiroidism.

Dr. Axe, you're the best! Is spirulina safe for 3 year olds and nursing mothers? Thanks in advanced! Blessings, melisssa
Unicef actually fed starving African infants Spirulina instead of breast milk and they became quite healthy.
Thank you Dr. Axe💯💯💯☺️
Spiralina. WOW! Didn't know it had all those benefits!
Thank you for the info Dr. Axe. I would like to make sure I am taking spirulina that is not contaminated, would you have a brand that you recommend that is safe?
Hawaiian Spirulina is the cleanest and most nutrient dense.
Thank you for this video, but what about the fact that spirulina itself can absorb heavy metals?
I really love this video!
Your videos are great. I see a lot of videos that say that it’s dangerous. So it’s very confusing. Any clarification will be great. Thanks again.
You can also mix it with Manuka honey and rose water for a great facial mask! :-)
Manuka is great for the gut too.
I have a question for you doctor?
I am vegetarian potentially working my way to become vegan, and at this moment I am taking a multivitamins “rainbow light for women” it have a bunch of vitamins also in my smoothies I consume maca, flaxseeds, and sometimes I make chia pudding and I was considering to buy unfortified nutritional yeast if I start using spirulina would that be too much of the vitamins or how should I balance that?
Thanks
This is so informative!
I'm trying to make healthier foods for my kids and I'm starting by making homemade puree pouches to replace sugary applesauce.
My 4 year old has serious kidney problems, does anyone know of anything else I can add that will specifically help his kidneys?
Dude ! It’s ‘Spiral Lena ‘ pronunciation lol thanks for the video
I have been taking this for a while and I am feeling so much better and I have also been mixing it into my pets food with fish oil and they are all seniors and it is really helping them and keeping them healthy too also we are all taking Kelp Powder too which is so good for my health but also my pets and it helps with their teeth to prevent and get rid of Plaque and tartar. I also use Morgina Powder which is another superfood and is fantastic!! I only use naturally supplements and remedies for myself and my pets and I think that is why we are healthy.
Thank you, I have just ordered a kilo
daffydave100 Wow that's gonna last a VERY long time
I just ordered 5 kilos spirulina and 5 kilos chlorella 😅

Thank you! Dr Axe

Hello, I was wondering if you can do a video or review on vegetable powders ( for juicing ) they are so many and some of them are very expensive, and before I buy one I would like to know.....I dont like the taste of kale, but I do need all the vitamins that it provides...any recommendations?..Thank you :)

Are there any side effects of spirulina consumption for example in the case of autoimmune diseases?
I have Psoriasis and Spirulina does not impact it in any negative way.
