Chat GPT AI says: Spirulina does contain an amino acid called phenylalanine, which is an essential amino acid that the body needs for normal functioning. However, in certain individuals with a rare genetic disorder called phenylketonuria (PKU), the body cannot metabolize phenylalanine properly, leading to its accumulation in the blood. For individuals with PKU, consuming foods high in phenylalanine, including spirulina, can be harmful and may cause neurological problems. For the general population without PKU, the consumption of spirulina is considered safe and does not pose a neurotoxic risk. In fact, spirulina has been studied for its potential neuroprotective effects due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It has shown promising results in animal studies for conditions like Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. As always, if you have any concerns or specific health conditions, it is best to consult with a healthcare professional before adding any new supplements to your diet.

The b12 in this is barely there. Not enough to block real b12 from other sources. Furthermore, most vitamins do not even use the natural true b12 in the formulation.
I don't give a rat size about B12 in spirulina as long as it's from California Hawaii Australia that's all that matters which will have all the micronutrients. huge amounts of potassium vitamin k1 and K2 magnesium iron and probably one of the highest levels of beta-carotene I ever seen.
Thank you for sharing. This is all very new to me as I am moving towards a plant based lifestyle. It's helpful to know what good sources of B12 to take

So, is this video saying that the bad outweighs the good as it relates to spirulina, and we shouldn't take it anymore? I have around $75.00 worth of 50/50 Chlorella/ Spirulina pills.....
China Government warned the contamination of the heavy metals such as Lead, Mercury and Arsenic in spirulina sampling in the commecial market. Some of them were warned, they just export all of their product wholly to USA, not in China domestic. They also purchased the middle class cultivation pond in California and then mixing it up to MADE IN USA.
Elizabeth Elias well Both doctors have said good things about sea vegetables in the past and algae has been consumed by populations of people for a long time so it’s hardly just a trend made by companies selling things. A lot of people would see plant based diets as a trend that people “ are falling over.”
Probiotics are always advertised as being safe with no negative side effects. Guess what? People consuming probiotics with pancreatitis have a 50% higher death rate. and most naturopaths and health food store clerks do not know anything about this danger. This is documented in a study which I believe Dr Greger speaks about.
So what, now I can't sprinkle some seaweed flakes onto my buddha bowls anymore...? It's getting more and more complicated... (but I do appreciate your research/guideline niche tho)
This is NOT an issue if you get your spirulina from a reputable source. There are actual farms that have a 100% completely controlled environment and do not have this issue. AND it's always better to consume it fresh. I get mine from here. kyanosfarms.com They offer it fresh and it is a completely controlled environment.
The important thing is have this ever damage anyone taking this product and if so where is the documents cause this is natural stuff if it was man made then ill have to worry
I think it's saying the puedo vitamin b molecule attaches it self to our vitamin b receptors and blocks them from absorbing real vitamin b, resulting in a deficiency of vitamin b. I didn't concentrate well but I think that's what it is saying
It’s depends if the algae or seaweeds was cooked or dried (& strain type), big difference. Taking synthetic cobalamin in pill form or what’s in the mineral blends in commercial plant mills is level 1 trash too.

Please can you send us the link of our video that showed how healthy spirulina is. We do not reccomend spirulina and so if that video exists we would remove it. Thanks

Thanks! Great to see this. I went through two or three packets of nori for the iodine but the fishy smell was too unplasant so I gave up, a few months ago. I used to enjoy fried fish decades ago, before 2000 when I became vegan but even then liked only that kind of fish preparation occasionally. Now I'm back to hoping the diverse fruits and vegetables I eat a lot of will supply me enough iodine. Good of you to make this video. I shared it on facebook and tomorrow will do so on Whatsapp too.

Ok I have taken spirulina almost every day for the last four years. My pollen allergies that I had are pretty much gone. My b12 was tested and it was in the average range, right in the middle. I only use California grown spirulina. Sometimes I take Hawaii. Don't have any reactions or side effects. Not sure how accurate this is. Saying that I would not go out and buy any Spirulina. Ensure it comes from a good source. Chlorella can be contaminated with heavy metals if you don't get a good source. I don't think people need to avoid Spirulina if you don't have an allergic reaction to it or buy it from a well tested source.
Spirulina is a good food and i dont believe the fucking factors or fucking news so if someone told me that spirulina are not good am going to saying to him FUCK YOU AND SHUT THE FUCK UP

Only jusy learning about spirulina and chlorella, thought they would be good together but guess dropping spirulina best? Or else if you're not vegan or have diet restrictions would spirulina be better ingesting occasionally, once a week or not at all? Would wonder how they got approved by FDA at all if they're that bad.
I have a special diet I have to follow for a medical condition. I am not vegan. I have never tried chlorella but I use spirulina powder 2-3x a week. I just make sure when I take my liquid multivitamins with b-12 that I do not use spirulina on those days as well! I have no issues.
Whenever someone suggests taking spirulina or algae , my mind always thinks heavy metal contamination, if the fish is contaminated why not spirulina and blue algae ?
Because the algea is lower on the food chain. This is how whales get away with eating so much: they eat plankton. Heavy metals accumulate as fish get eaten by bigger fish, the more steps up the foodchain the more the accumulation. You can see the same thing with eagles and DDT.

Yes they suggest to take spirulina seperately or by itself. Don't combine with any B12 supplement. A doctor said (I think his name is Axe here on CZcams), it's best to consume it in the morning preferably with smoothies or water/juice. Try to lower the dosage recommended by the brand. And always remember, anything too little or too excessive would harm you in some ways. So do it in moderation after a balanced diet. And for the products manufactured in Japan? Errr I prefer not to eat their sea's stuff as the contamination is high there not to mention the latest Uranium explosion.
I have tried spirulina on at least two occasions over the years, each time I didn't feel well and stopped using it. I wasn't sure if it was the spirulina or something else, but after a couple of times I don't care to repeat the experiment.

Spinach is high in oxalates and it is unsafe to make smoothies with for daily consumption. People can over do it. One report says a women had total kidney failure from drinking many glasses of spinach smoothies daily. Check out which greens are low oxalate plants and how to reduce oxalates in spinach by boiling for several minutes and discarding the water. the reduction is only about 50%. People, investigate the food you consume and don't just say, 'It's natural". Potassium is natural and can kill in certain amounts, mercury, uranium, and cyanide are naturally occurring also.

The b12 in this is barely there. Not enough to block real b12 from other sources. Furthermore, most vitamins do not even use the natural true b12 in the formulation.
I'm a yoga instructor & Fitness Trainer, I appreciate you, keep it up, 🌹
I make spirulina smoothie and use it as fertiliser in the garden.
Spirulina contains BMAA. See Dr. Greger's video.
What about the glyphospate residues found in breakfast cereals/bread..I'd like to see them do a hit-piece on that please.
Thank you so much for this informative video! I got so much out of it.
I don't give a rat size about B12 in spirulina as long as it's from California Hawaii Australia that's all that matters which will have all the micronutrients. huge amounts of potassium vitamin k1 and K2 magnesium iron and probably one of the highest levels of beta-carotene I ever seen.
why do I see this shit right after I took my daily morning spirulina
lol
Thank you for sharing. This is all very new to me as I am moving towards a plant based lifestyle. It's helpful to know what good sources of B12 to take

My son got a full blown asthma attack after consuming spirulina
Asthma or anaphylaxis?

Gerson protocol is reviewed in one of Dr. Greger's videos. It appears to fall short.
I love her voice 😍
And what about the studies that showed the positif effect on malnourished children..?
So, is this video saying that the bad outweighs the good as it relates to spirulina, and we shouldn't take it anymore?
I have around $75.00 worth of 50/50 Chlorella/ Spirulina pills.....
Yes
China Government warned the contamination of the heavy metals such as Lead, Mercury and Arsenic in spirulina sampling in the commecial market. Some of them were warned, they just export all of their product wholly to USA, not in China domestic. They also purchased the middle class cultivation pond in California and then mixing it up to MADE IN USA.
Thanks for making this video.
I rarely fall for these trends. Thankfully.
I did fall for the probiotic trend for a couple of years.
Elizabeth Elias well Both doctors have said good things about sea vegetables in the past and algae has been consumed by populations of people for a long time so it’s hardly just a trend made by companies selling things. A lot of people would see plant based diets as a trend that people “ are falling over.”
Probiotics are always advertised as being safe with no negative side effects. Guess what?
People consuming probiotics with pancreatitis have a 50% higher death rate. and most naturopaths and health food store clerks do not know anything about this danger. This is documented in a study which I believe Dr Greger speaks about.
I use WHOLE EARTH AND SEA FERMENTED GREENS POWDER in smoothies.
So what, now I can't sprinkle some seaweed flakes onto my buddha bowls anymore...? It's getting more and more complicated... (but I do appreciate your research/guideline niche tho)
No just switch out the days I guess. Makes me sad cause I love seaweed
VERY HELPFUL VIDEO!!! THANKS.
This is NOT an issue if you get your spirulina from a reputable source. There are actual farms that have a 100% completely controlled environment and do not have this issue. AND it's always better to consume it fresh. I get mine from here. kyanosfarms.com They offer it fresh and it is a completely controlled environment.
Their spirulina sounds great! Thanks for the link.
The important thing is have this ever damage anyone taking this product and if so where is the documents cause this is natural stuff if it was man made then ill have to worry
Thanks God mine finished this morning.
So the pseudovitamin b12 is harmful for our health or why is this video telling not to intake spirulina? Anybody help
I think it's saying the puedo vitamin b molecule attaches it self to our vitamin b receptors and blocks them from absorbing real vitamin b, resulting in a deficiency of vitamin b. I didn't concentrate well but I think that's what it is saying
@@sarahfellows3074 You got it 100% I had to listen two times to really get it. lol
It’s depends if the algae or seaweeds was cooked or dried (& strain type), big difference. Taking synthetic cobalamin in pill form or what’s in the mineral blends in commercial plant mills is level 1 trash too.
Love all your "connect the dots" videos
I had no idea, thanks for this heads up.

Great advice thankyou.
Great, now spirulina is bad for you! I'm freaking done with supplements! It was this channel that talked me into using spirulina several years ago and they touted how healthy it was.
Please can you send us the link of our video that showed how healthy spirulina is. We do not reccomend spirulina and so if that video exists we would remove it. Thanks
Bizzare77777 - Same! I’m done with supplements!
I dont think this channel has ever endorsed spirulina. You may be confusing it with another.
Supplements are one note Johnny s. Manufactured by man don't contain all the mother nature elements.
Don't believe everything you read

Somebody owe me 18 bucks for this thing of spirulina I got if I gotta throw it out now lol screw it im gonna keep using it it doesn’t make me sick and I don’t want kids so I’m good anything is slightly less dangerous than eating meat 😩
Just take one capsule a day

If the Okinawans ate loads of sea vegetables, little animal protein and took no supplements, how did they maintain B12 levels?
Thanks! Great to see this. I went through two or three packets of nori for the iodine but the fishy smell was too unplasant so I gave up, a few months ago. I used to enjoy fried fish decades ago, before 2000 when I became vegan but even then liked only that kind of fish preparation occasionally. Now I'm back to hoping the diverse fruits and vegetables I eat a lot of will supply me enough iodine. Good of you to make this video. I shared it on facebook and tomorrow will do so on Whatsapp too. It's important.

Ok I have taken spirulina almost every day for the last four years. My pollen allergies that I had are pretty much gone. My b12 was tested and it was in the average range, right in the middle.
I only use California grown spirulina. Sometimes I take Hawaii. Don't have any reactions or side effects. Not sure how accurate this is. Saying that I would not go out and buy any Spirulina. Ensure it comes from a good source. Chlorella can be contaminated with heavy metals if you don't get a good source. I don't think people need to avoid Spirulina if you don't have an allergic reaction to it or buy it from a well tested source.
Spirulina is a good food and i dont believe the fucking factors or fucking news so if someone told me that spirulina are not good am going to saying to him FUCK YOU AND SHUT THE FUCK UP
What brand do you take?
is diarrhea after taking it for first time common?
Aaaah! I’ve had this for almost 15 years. Including throughout my pregnancy! He would always kick within minutes of me drinking it.

@@theancientsancients1769 3rd time I'm seeing your exact comment, do you work for Marcus Rohrer brand? lol
This is not true
Only jusy learning about spirulina and chlorella, thought they would be good together but guess dropping spirulina best? Or else if you're not vegan or have diet restrictions would spirulina be better ingesting occasionally, once a week or not at all? Would wonder how they got approved by FDA at all if they're that bad.
I have a special diet I have to follow for a medical condition. I am not vegan. I have never tried chlorella but I use spirulina powder 2-3x a week. I just make sure when I take my liquid multivitamins with b-12 that I do not use spirulina on those days as well! I have no issues.
Looks like the thumbs down are the Spirulina company! 😂
Any crop could be contaminated. The source is your assurances. I think, and I hope I'm wrong that those claims aren't innocent.
I ingest one capsule spirulina daily. My gums weaken if I don't take spirulina.🙏
Whenever someone suggests taking spirulina or algae , my mind always thinks heavy metal contamination, if the fish is contaminated why not spirulina and blue algae ?
Because they are cultivated in a non polluted close environment
@@fede_ponz not always. Best to check with the supplier
Because the algea is lower on the food chain. This is how whales get away with eating so much: they eat plankton. Heavy metals accumulate as fish get eaten by bigger fish, the more steps up the foodchain the more the accumulation. You can see the same thing with eagles and DDT.
Thank you for the clarification, I didn't know that.
Thank you.I thought they cultivate it directly from the sea.
Why do we have to believe this if you dont even show your face or the drs that are sayin such a lie
There are b12 analogs in chlorella as well as spirulina. This is not just a problem with these algae either. Other algae have these as well. So?
Damn i have taken dulse and b12 together for a week now
Don't worry just start now :-)
@@PlantBasedScienceLondon Hey should vegans not take iodine everyday or can we switch betewen days when taking b12 like dr klaper said

Is it good for type 2
This is very sad to hear. I love spirilina, I have stopped having it now though for about 2 months. But it used to make.me feel good when I took it. Is all brands of spirilina dangerous or are there some that maybe actually be ok for our health?? I do like chlorella also but I haven't taken this one in a smoothie for a while too. It makes me very sad to hear this about spirilina because it has no many nutrients especially iron

Hi there. Acai Berry vs Spirulina, which one is no1 for the 3rd eye? My 3rd eye is already open but i can see just small images in fraction of second. I can not see something for a long time. I want to become a super clairvoyant. So which one is better? Spirulina is to bad but I am mixing with garlic powder + Apple cider vinegar + dillweed + parsley. 1kg spirulina powder finish in 3 months but 250gr akai berry finish in 3 days. I like the akai. Thanks to anyone who can give me a good answer.

I used Swisse brand just 2 days ago and i felt dizziness and headache during work. I don't know if I still need to continue drinking it or not...
Spirulina cured my acid reflux, but the first product helped not.. it came from China sea, so switched to a Swiss brand called Marcus Rohrer which did the job. Never take full dose at start.. build up to it. The headaches are detox effects and will fade away and was mentioned in the label ✌
Thank you! I got a 50/50 spirulina chlorella supplement. Looks like I will take it maybe 2 times a week now and buy pure chlorella when I’m done. As to not effect my overall b12 too much long term.
Any product can be contaminated if not handled well
I have ingested spirulina twice, and both times vomited violently for hours. The second time i was unaware it was contained in a bottled juice. I was stuck in the city and spewed my way up the street until I found a park and collapsed. I’ll spare the rest of the details, suffice to say it was a most unenjoyable 6 hours. To this day I declare spirulina as an allergen to health professionals.
I had a very similar experience. I consumed it in smoothie form twice (1 tsp). The first time, I was nauseous. The second time, I was puking until I had nothing left except bile. Then, later that night I had really bad cramps, diarrhea and fecal incontinence. So horrible. NEVER. NEVER AGAIN.
I don't understand people saying they had it for years and swear by it. Different strokes for different folks. 🤷🏽♀️
I’m going to take supplements b12 but I can’t take spirulina together ? I’m confuse..and since I live in japan what about if I eat algae nori?
Yes they suggest to take spirulina seperately or by itself. Don't combine with any B12 supplement. A doctor said (I think his name is Axe here on CZcams), it's best to consume it in the morning preferably with smoothies or water/juice. Try to lower the dosage recommended by the brand. And always remember, anything too little or too excessive would harm you in some ways. So do it in moderation after a balanced diet.
And for the products manufactured in Japan? Errr I prefer not to eat their sea's stuff as the contamination is high there not to mention the latest Uranium explosion.
And also, spirulina is high in iron so excessive intake would definitely be harmful.
What's with the music ?
It's chill, what's wrong with it?
I have tried spirulina on at least two occasions over the years, each time I didn't feel well and stopped using it. I wasn't sure if it was the spirulina or something else, but after a couple of times I don't care to repeat the experiment.
we eat stuff like that it's not poisonous or unhealthy / harmful
complicated...🤦🏽♀️

Spirulina is toxic if its coming from a bad environment. The Best place is From Hawaii or California.
Use spinach , green leafy vegetable rather than something we know very little. Little knowledge is dangerous.
Spinach is high in oxalates and it is unsafe to make smoothies with for daily consumption. People can over do it. One report says a women had total kidney failure from drinking many glasses of spinach smoothies daily. Check out which greens are low oxalate plants and how to reduce oxalates in spinach by boiling for several minutes and discarding the water. the reduction is only about 50%. People, investigate the food you consume and don't just say, 'It's natural". Potassium is natural and can kill in certain amounts, mercury, uranium, and cyanide are naturally occurring also. Do your homework.
Chlorella can be very toxic too
Oef, damn. There goes my spirulina

QUESTION? I believe the Bible. Read Genesis chapter 1&2. God designed us and our diet. Since we were designed to never eat meat, where in the plant kingdom is B12? It has to be there.
Next year they will say eat meat. I believe they ancient ones ate meat.
