Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from NOW's Spirulina tablets?
This is a loose powder meant to be mixed into a beverage, while NOW's spirulina tablets are a fixed per tablet dose taken like a standard supplement; both use organic spirulina as the ingredient.
Does it have a strong taste?
Spirulina has a distinct, earthy sea vegetable flavor; mixing it into juice or a smoothie helps mask the taste.
Who should not take this product?
Anyone who is pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or has a medical condition should consult a physician before use.
What does natural color variation mean on the label?
Because spirulina is a whole food ingredient, its exact shade of green can vary batch to batch; this is normal and does not affect the product.
Is a 1 lb size available?
NOW also sells this powder in a 1 lb size; this listing is the 4 oz size.
