Spirulina right dosage
Posted: 06-08-08 03:17am

Hi, I have got "Marcus Rohrer" Spirulina, each tablet containing 300 mg of it. Its instructions mentions to take 1 to 3 tablets daily. On his web site it is mentioned that for adults the dosage is 3 to 6 tablets.

In general, in Internet I have seen that the usual dosage of Spirulina is 1 to 5 grams daily. Based on this, I am thinking of taking 10 tablets x 300 mg every day. Is this safe? I am puzzled from the fact that the manufacturer recommends low dosage for normal use, although I have read on line that Spirulina to be effective (e.g. against viruses) two or more grams are better.

Another Spirulina product I am going to buy after finishing this, contains tablets of 750 mg Spirulina with recommended dosage 4 tablets daily, that is 3 grams of Spirulina daily.

Any feedback would be welcome.


John

I got an answer from the distribution company which says that 3-6 tablets of 300 mg each, is the recommended dosage for adults. BTW after some research I concluded that this specific brand is, if not the best, one of the best Spirulinas in the world (in my opinion the best).

So I am going to rebuy it, in contrast with what I said in my original post.

Do you know how many grams or milligrams of Spirulina, does this amount to?


Thanks,
