You may want to take this supplement early in the afternoon. It keeps me away from sleeping if taken after 3 pm. Not to say it will do the same to others though. Just a warning. Will keep taking it, and following the studies about its benefits, as well as its potential risks, if any 🙂 Adding: Awesome 👌

I would have given it a 10. I loved this product until they added inulin; or until I found out they added inulin. Below is an excerpt from the knowledge base of the Breaking the Vicious Cycle website,[...]. So disappointing. I thought only yogurt was polluted with this stuff. Now I'll have to choke down the powder. Ugh. Making a Case Against FOS and Inulin Have you heard about Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) or Inulin yet? If not, you will. These are the latest and greatest refined chemicals that probiotic and yoghurt manufacturers are adding to their products for "your health". It seems that only a few probiotic manufacturers are against using them, with Natren leading the charge. But we like to ask, why is this? Why would Natren be against using FOS in yoghurt and probiotic supplements? What kind of financial gain is involved in not using the latest and greatest chemicals in your products? None that we could think of. So we decided to investigate this matter further. 1. What is FOS and Inulin? Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) and inulin are types of fructo-polysaccharides, comprised of -(glucose-fructose)- subunits. The only difference between FOS and inulin is polymer chain length. Inulin/FOS also goes by the name of Neosugar, Alant Starch, Atlanta Starch, Alantin, Dahlin, Helenin, and Diabetic Sugar. Inulin tastes sweet, cannot be digested by humans, and is soluble (unlike cellulose). 2. What does Inulin/FOS do? Since Inulin/FOS is indigestible by our bodies, it gets transported to the large intestine where it feeds microbes and promotes fermentation. Inulin/FOS has been dubbed a "prebiotic", essentially serving as fertilizer for the bacteria in your colon. Certain lactobacillus species of bacteria have been shown to preferentially ferment Inulin/FOS. For this reason, it is being promoted as a supplement to feed the good bacteria in our guts. 3. Inulin/FOS feeds only good bacteria, right? Wrong. Manufacturers claim that Inulin/FOS specifically feeds only good bacteria. The reality of the situation is much different. If you examine the scientific literature about Inulin/FOS, you will find that this is untrue. The best example is concerning Klebsiella. Recent studies have shown that Inulin/FOS encourages the growth of Klebsiella, a bacterium implicated in Ankylosing Spondylitis and increased intestinal permeability. Inulin/FOS may indeed promote the growth of lactobacillus bacteria, but what other potentially harmful bacteria are we feeding as well? Furthermore, we have not even addressed the issue of yeast. Many different species of yeast are able to utilize Inulin/FOS for energy. Historically, microbes have demonstrated the innate ability to adapt to almost any condition and fuel source. If bacteria can adapt to break down industrial solvents in our soil and use them for energy, it would be irresponible to think that they will not adapt to utilize Inulin/FOS, a high energy carbohydrate. There are hundreds of different species of bacteria and several yeast strains living in our GI tracts. Studies have only looked at the effects of Inulin/FOS on a handful of these microbes. 4. Why is Inulin/FOS being added to probiotic supplements and yoghurt? A key principle in today's marketplace is product differentiation. If a manufacturer can sell many different kinds of "specialty" products, that are in essence the same thing, it can make a larger profit. Think about it for a moment. We no longer have plain old toothpaste, instead we have such items as tartar control, sensitive, baking soda, peroxide, whitening, gum care, and many others. Adding a new claim to an old product adds to consumer excitement: "Brand X yoghurt - now with Inulin/FOS for your health" & "We now offer lactobacillus capsules with Inulin/FOS." These new claims will help fight market stagnation and lead to greater profits for the manufacturer. But will FOS lead to greater health for the consumer? 5. Is Inulin/FOS found naturally anywhere? Yes. It is found naturally in asparagus, garlic, Jerusalem Artichokes, chicory root, and others. 6. Since Inulin/FOS is found in natural foods it must be okay, right? Wrong. Sucrose (table sugar) is naturally found in beets, sugar cane, oranges, and other plants. Humans have perverted this naturally occurring substance into a refined chemical. Sucrose is arguably one of the most unhealthy food additives in human history. We should learn from our experiences with sucrose and apply them to Inulin/FOS. Instead of adding refined, super concentrated Inulin/FOS to your food, eat the foods that naturally contain Inulin/FOS. The body is genetically adapted to certain foods and if we continue to mess with our food chain then our health will suffer the consequences. Of the nutritional fibers, cellulose was the most likely to be included in a traditional hunter-gatherer diet. Cellulose is an insoluble fiber that is slowly fermented by the microbial population in the human colon. Inulin/FOS is a soluble fiber that is quickly and easily fermented. The difference between cellulose (a food we are adapted to) and Inulin/FOS (a food we are not adapted to) is like the difference between a slow burning ember and a raging fire. Who likes playing with fire? 7. Is it possible to be allergic to Inulin/FOS? Yes. In one documented case, inulin caused an anaphylactic reaction. As the use of Inulin/FOS as an additive in the food industry increases, reports of allergic responses will probably increase. "Inulin may be the culprit behind more food allergies than is currently recognized." 8. What are the recognized side effects of ingesting Inulin/FOS? Assuming one is not allergic to Inulin/FOS, the typical side effects will vary depending on one's level of tolerance. The list of known side effects include: flatulence, bloating, cramps, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. As Inluin/FOS permeates our food supply, the list of side effects is expected to grow. Conclusion - In theory, a food additive that could specifically feed good bacteria might prove useful for intestinal health. Given the nature of the microbes and their ability to quickly adapt to various carbohydrate foods sources, it seems highly unlikely that such a chemical will be developed. Inlulin/FOS has been touted as such a molecule, but seems to fail the test as you examine it further. Even if Inluin/FOS did display specifity for beneficial bacteria, do we know enough about the complex microbial ecology of the human GI tract to deem a species of bacteria better than the others? The GI tract is much like a rain forest with a very complex web of life. What would happen to a rain forest if, in our arrogance, we decided to spread a chemical that fertilized one specific type of tree? Would the overgrowth of one species be beneficial? Our GI tracts have adapted to house a variety of microbes and to disrupt this balance might be detrimental to our health. With these concerns, we recommend staying far away from any product with Inulin/FOS. References: Green, Ceri J.

Spirulina, classified as a microalgae, is great stuff and this is a particularly good brand. Slightly more expensive than NOW brand , but much better tasting. I've been using spirulina in one form or another for many years. Some of things it has done for me are improve my vision, at night and during the day, greatly increase my energy and stamina, help me breathe better, speed up my reaction time, lift my mood, stabilize my blood sugar and the list just goes on. . It makes me generally feel younger. Not to g et too scatological, but it can also make your poop green due to the high chlorophyll content, so don't freak out if you see that. Chlorophyll is actually a great substance, very detoxifying. It's the equivalent of our blood, in the plant kingdom. Personally, I do not go by the suggested serving size on the bottle of 'six tablets'. I might have in the beginning, but that was many years ago. I'm what you might call a 'power user' now, so I often take fifteen or more tabs at a time, and might do that more than once a day. After all, spirulina is a whole food as opposed to an isolated, synthesized supplement', so I don't see any problem with taking it in such amounts. It's safe enough to do so, and you will really notice its benefits more dramatically by doing so. Since your body recognizes spirulina as a food, it is much better assimilated ("bioavailable") than supplements per se. . And yes, it may turn your poop green, but not to worry, that's just the chlorophyll at work. Chlorophyll is a great detoxifier, and spirulina has a lot of it. Personally, I do not chew up the tablets, nor do I swallow them with water. Instead I suck on them and let them dissolve in my mouth. Strange as this may sound, over the years I've been taking spirulina, I've found that for me, at least, it seems to be the most effect way of maximizing its benefits. It may be because doing it this way allows some of the salivary enzymes in the mouth begin to absorb the nutrients in the spirulina before it gets to the stomach, and some of the nutrients are probably absorbed by the many blood vessels in the mouth in a sublingual, trans-buccal fashion, like when you take a homeopathic remedy, for example. . Whatever the explanation, I find this works best for me. I also actually like the taste of spirulina, which I'im sure helps. . I take them between meals, because I think that like some herbs and other substances, they're more effective that way. One warning: If you dissolve them in your mouth as I do, the chlorophyll will make your lips, teeth, tongue, etc. very GREEN. I once was sucking on my spirulina tabs while driving on I-95 and got pulled over by a state trooper, and after he was finished with me, I realized that my lips, teeth, etc. had been totally green the whole time I was talking with him. This guy must have seen everything, because he never even batted an eyelash or said anything. Or maybe he just thought he was hallucinating, I don't know. Anyway, I can't really say enough about spirulina as a valuable source of nutrition that will give you astounding energy, without the various issues of coffee, etc.. (even though I indulge in coffee a bit). The only thing I ever had which gave me more energy was blue-green 'Klamath Lake' algae,, by CellTech, but I started working about the reported significant pollution in Klamath Lake and stopped taking it. But spirulina is grown in carefully controlled man-made 'ponds' so contamination is not an issue. I've worked in the vitamin departments of health food stores and taken a panoply of supplements of all types in my life as well as doing quite a bit of research into such things, and I can honestly say spirulina is at the top of my list of 'supplements' that really work. You just cannot take it and NOT notice its benefits. .
