HEALTH BENEFITS OF SPIRULINA I just finished a live airing for QVC and the amazing 8Greens, a dietary supplement that helps you maximize your daily dose of greens. As the name implies, 8Greens contains eight essential greens for optimal health. Three of the greens are different types of algae, one of them being spirulina.

While I highly prefer consuming my spirulina in an 8Greens tablet, as I find it much more palatable with additional green benefits, you can consume spirulina in its powdered form. |
