Dosage Of Spirulina For all Ages

The dosage of Spirulina just like any other nutritional supplement should be about 5gms daily i.e one heaped spoonful of the Spirulina powder. If you prefer the tablet form then about 8 tablets per day, however the powder is the best option. You can vary the quantity of consumption as per your personal health type.

Spirulina is the richest source of natural protein. Protein is suppose to boost alertness and hence it is recommended to take your Spirulina at least 4 hours before bed. You must also remember one more thing about Spirulina i.e it is a good natural cleanser and helps to flush out the toxins from the body especially when you begin its consumption for the first time.

Now let us see the dosage of Spirulina for different age groups. The dosage for children, adults, athletes and the weight conscious have been given below.

Children: Age 2 to 10 years. 1 spoonful twice a day in their juices or shakes.
Adults: The dosage remains the same as the children but if you feel you are skipping on the day meals or not finishing them well then 1 more spoon of Spirulina can be added to your daily intake.
Athletes: The intake pattern will be 2 spoons of Spirulina powder for every glass taken half an hour before a workout. Spirulina is the best source of Glycogen which is primarily stored in the body muscles and liver.
Weight Conscious: Taking a glass full of Spirulina half and hour before the meal. This satisfies the hunger and you tend to eat less but at the same time your body's nutritional requirements are taken care of. You need not worry about the calories since Spirulina has less than 4 calories in every gram of weight.
