Nutrex Hawaii Pure Hawaiian Spirulina Powder - Vegan Superfood, Farm Grown in Kona, Non-GMO, Immune Support & Cellular Energy, 5 Oz

I was inspired to try this supplement because of a Youtube video I watched about the benefits of using Spirulina. I am a 53 year old woman in perimenopause that despite how hard I try to take care of myself, the energy is just not there. So I decided to try this to see if it would help with natural energy. Well, let me tell you... I am pleasantly surprised that it has reached my expectations. Now, the taste was beyond horrific. The first time I drank it was like drinking from a fish tank. I literally almost threw up. But I discovered adding lemon juice helps so I can handle it now. The energy is long lasting and not jittery like caffeine but you just feel a little more alert, a little more stronger while working out. The type of energy like you have been eating healthy. It also has reduced my appetite a little. I feel like I can make better choices because I have a calm energy. I drink 1/2 teaspoon with my pre work out drink and another 1/2 teaspoon at 1pm and I can just go all day long. No stomach issues. I also put the powder in a glass and put just a little water and mix it with a fork like a paste before pouring the full glass of water in it. This helps it not be clunky.

Both my husband and I have been using Spirulina supplements for many years. We have found this one, Pure Hawaiian Spirulina Powder, to be the best both in terms of quality, freshness and taste. We are both 57 years old, vegetarian, in relatively good health and take a number of different supplements. When we run out of the spirulina and don't use it for a few days, we both notice a decrease in our energy level and general feeling of wellness. While it is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals for everyone, we find that it's especially important for vegetarians. For example, a teaspoon provides 20% RDA of iron. The taste, which is often times a concern for people, is pretty good. We like to drink it is mixed with orange juice. The acidity and sweetness of the orange juice actually goes well with the spirulina and makes a very palatable drink. The challenge, though, is blending. The dry powder can be difficult to blend. We recommend you put some juice in your glass first, then the spirulina on top, whisk it vigorously with a mini whisk (but be careful....if it splashes, it can be quite messy) and then put some more orange juice on top and whisk again. It should be ready to drink by then. It is also noteworthy that this is a US product and produced with very high standards. If you are thinking of adding a spirulina product to your supplement routine, this is one you'll want to consider. It's a good value, excellent quality, and good taste.

I've been using Nutrex Hawaii Pure Hawaiian Spirulina Powder regularly, and it's become a staple in my wellness routine. Here's why I keep coming back: Pros: Authenticity Assurance: Yes, there's a distinct fishy smell, but that's the telltale sign of genuine spirulina. It's a small price to pay for knowing you're getting an authentic, nutrient-rich product. Effective Cleansing: This spirulina powder works wonders in cleansing and detoxifying the body. I've noticed improved digestion and increased energy levels since incorporating it into my daily regimen. Great Value: The size-to-price ratio is fantastic. You get a generous amount of spirulina for the cost, making it a cost-effective way to boost your health. Repeat Purchase: I'm so pleased with the results that I'm already planning to order another one after submitting this review. It's become an essential part of my well-being routine. Cons: Distinct Smell: As mentioned, the fishy smell might not be pleasant for everyone, but it's a testament to the product's authenticity and effectiveness. In summary, Nutrex Hawaii Pure Hawaiian Spirulina Powder is a powerhouse of nutrients that keeps my body feeling clean and energized. The smell may be off-putting initially, but it's a small trade-off for the genuine quality and benefits it provides. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their health and well-being.

Second purchase for me on this. I had great results the first time I tried. Was feeling pretty good and doctor made a comment about my white cells looking super healthy. Had comments on my skin looking like I was glowing. I would be curious to see what happens if I keep taking it more consistently. Lots of antioxidants packed into this. I take it with my protein shake or in a tea. Sometimes I take it as a shot chased by a juice. It isn't the most pleasant smell or taste, but it is a beautiful deep green color. It is easy to swallow and mix with some other liquid or ingredient. The bottle lasts a long time due to it being a large size. Comes in a nice amber glass bottle. It isn't cheap, but you do get a large amount and coming directly from Hawaii it is good quality and sourced in the US.

I've never tried spirulina before, but according to Reddit especially, this seems to be top quality spirulina. First impressions are that it kind of smells either like brownie mix, raw eggs, or algae, depending on who I ask. In terms of flavor, I personally don't like the taste very much as it tastes basically how it smells. It's a bit strong and if you use too much, it overpowers anything you mix it with. I have to use very little in my tea so that I don't taste it too much. Note that it doesn't come with a scooper. Flavor wouldn't be an issue with the tablet form, but the only reason I chose the powder over the tablet is because of the value that you get with it. I've listed the servings and cost here to show what I mean. All of the information is taken from pictures on the respective product's page. 1000mg tablets, max size 180g/180 tab jar ÷ 3g/3 tab serving = 60 servings for $26. 500mg tablets, max size 400g/800 tab jar ÷ 3g/6 tab serving = 133 servings for $47. Powder, max size 454g ÷ 3g serving = 151 servings for $37. Based off of the value per serving alone, I went with the powder, but after trying the product first hand, I think I would recommend going with the tablets over the powder. It may be better value in theory, but I find that due to it's flavor, I'm not consuming nearly enough of it for it to be worth it in the first place. Otherwise, if you try the powder and don't mind the flavor, it's definitely a better value.

Amazing Spirilina first one that taste bland has is easy to drink . I have tried many spirulina powders and this is the first one that has a neutral taste . Very easy to drink and extremely palatable .

The attached pic was taken in Nov. 2019 when I was 68. I only use it in smoothies, so if I am not drinking smoothies for awhile, I don't always use it. But I have been using it CONSISTENTLY, as in pretty much everyday, for awhile now. PROS: ENERGY - THIS is the BIGGEST pro for me. From the first time I had spirulina in a smoothie, I was amazed. I didn't expect to feel the boost of energy it gave me. And not like the kind from caffeine. Sustained energy. OTHER BENEFITS: Feel it makes my skin look better, I just FEEL better, I feel it helps with aches and pains and just makes me feel and be healthier. FLAVOR - OK, it's not what you would call tasty on it's own. I LIKE the taste IN MY SMOOTHIE, but not something like wheatgrass I could do shots of. BUT I mix in with choc PlantFusion protein powder, almond milk, wild blueberries and about a tsp of this and I am FINE with the taste. QUALITY - I haven't found a better quality spirulina. My advice? RESEARCH yourself and see if you find something you think is more pure or better quality. Check where it comes from, what kind of checks are done on it and go with what you feel is best. After well over a decade, best I have found, but if you find something better, please comment and let me know! QUANTITY FOR PRICE - for the amount you get, the quality, I am HAPPY with the price. I just buy this for myself and just use about a teaspoon. I often get the smaller jar, just because, even though larger more cost effective, I like opening fresh product about every six weeks. AND FYI, read the exp date! WHERE TO GET IT: I STRONGLY suggest getting it SOLD BY NUTREX AND SHIPPED BY AMAZON OR SOLD AND SHIPPED BY AMAZON. SOME vendors are better than others and I always am happy with buying it this way. SO FIVE STARS!

Absolutely fantastic I almost don't want to write a review because I want it all for myself. Jk. But seriously one of the best superfood products I found.

I’ve been using Spirulina for years now replacing all my nutrition needs with this natural super food supplement and felt great on the long runs.Mix with your favorite fruit smoothie to get better taste. Absolutely will continue using.

First purchase and consumption of spirulina, taste is very acceptable with just water.

The reason I purchased this one specifically, is that I heard in a video of some doctor saying that spirulina resource it important, you need to look for location that wasn't exposed to radiation as much, so hawaiian is one of the best locations for spirulina. I'm not 100% certain if this is real of just advertising. I purchased another one before it, but wasn't sure if I should use it as the source location was not clear. I'm not spirulina expert, first time to use, I hope this is helpful. This one comes as powder, I don't like its taste much, so I mix it with spoon of something with strong taste (jam, peanut butter...) I tried mixing it with drinks, but it sits in the bottom of the cup, so you need to finish all your drink to get it and the taste is not pleasant. Also compared to the one I purchased before, this one is slightly less smelly.

very good quality original spirulina powder very fast delivery..thanks Amazon..thanks seller..

One of the best product worth it super healthy
