Just wondering if you noticed any benefits from this stuff?
 
Drink both of them often. Bolthouse Farms makes a drink called Green Goodness that has both of them in it. It's delicious. As to the health benefits, there are none that I can speak of but again I do not take them religiously. They are however classified as superfoods that are supposed to be incredibly good for your body.

I've been curious about getting into them more consistently too. Let me know if you hear anything good/bad or how your experience with them goes.

Yeah.. Im kinda peaking around but I haven't found anything I have to have.

I already take a bunch of other supps plus I eat a bunch of fruit and veggies so I really don't know if it's going to put me on another level of health or not.

Fruits and veggies die pretty quickly. Nutrition is the realm of quackery and has been for ages. Particular foods have always been identified as having some magical properties. The industry is also dominated by plenty of 'marketing'. Your pretty much throwing money away.

What exactly are your goals anyways? To be healthy? If that is the case, you know what really repairs the body? Good sleep, being active, not over-loading your body with food, reducing stress and getting some sun.

Your statement is rather misguided and oversimplified. Spirulina's magical property is that it contains all 20 essential amino acids, along with an array of organic and inorganic precursors, so that someone who has an inefficient diet can help meet these dietary needs for proper metabolic function without buying other food and/or supplements that only contain a few of these benefits. So, in reality, you are not throwing your money away. You're actually becoming a smarter shopper. Now, is one going to reach a healthy caloric intake by just eating spirulina all day? No. But that's why its supplemental rather than fundamental.

Mmmm, Green Goodness.... Looks kinda green and a little nasty, but boy does it taste great.
