Can Spirulina Be Given To Children?

The answer is YES. Spirulina is a natural food which is full of nutrients and is 100% safe for the children of all the ages for consumption. Infact Spirulina is the only natural food that contains GLA an essential fatty acid that is found only in mother's milk. This GLA plays a very vital in balancing the hormonal system in the body. So it is actually very good to give Spirulina to the children.

But Spirulina should always be given to the children only under adult supervision. It should be kept away from the child's reach. This is because the over dosage of Spirulina may lead to the over dosage of Iron. Spirulina is like the fuel that will boost your child's overall development and growth.

The dosage of Spirulina is the same as for any other drug i.e. half that of an adult. The teens can take the dosage close to that of an adult. However some children may react to Spirulina but not all. Common complaints could be: over-detoxification, sleeplessness, beta-carotene saturation. There are some infants as well who enjoy the benefits of Spirulina in the world. So give your child a nutritious smoothie and help him grow healthy.
