Bill I understand these people are selling a product, but spirulina is a great protein source. I have raised healthy dart frogs on it that had strong back legs and no deformities, that’s enough to prove its value to me…lol. But seriously I don’t blame you for being weary, because im weary of the supplements you use. However for every website you find out there, there is always going to be one that says the opposite. In this case im going with the majority saying spirulina is an excellent nutritional supplement. While at work I remembered that Tracy being the total health nut she is, used a database at the USDA’s (a very reliable source) website for figuring out her nutritional intake and what to eat. So I figured I would compare the two to find out exactly what is in meat baby food (ran chicken other meats where similar) and dried spirulina. Here are the results for 100 grams of each:

I just found this interesting, useful and def a good source. Just look at some of those values, for humans whose nutritional needs are higher it provides 91% for males and 114% for females of their daily protein intake, while the meat baby food is a measly 21% and 27%. A lot of the amino acids are well over the 100% range too. Vitamins are also much higher. I mean I knew the stuff was beneficial but honestly not this much. So the benefits are definitely large compared to meat baby food at least. It made think that I should be taking it everyday, maybe I could manage those high school kids better…lol. Anyway just some good old fashion debating =).
