Best spirulina product?

[maryb]

I'm looking to buy a nutri-bullet, have been advised to try maca plus wheatgrass plus spirulina in with the fruit and veg.

Obviously I will add them slowly once I've started blending, but looking at the sources I'm a bit apprehensive about spirulina, I want something that is guaranteed pure, or should I just leave it out?

Nobody take spirulina???

I wouldn't add the spirulina. It has Vitamin B12 analogues, which will bind to your Vitamin B12 receptors but won't provide the biological activity of true Vitamin B12. I bought a microalgae product called BioSuperfood made by BioNutrition. It has 2 types of spirulina plus Dunaliella and Astaxanthin and is grown in an enclosed bioincubator with a pure water source. Seems like a great product, but I almost always muscle test poorly with it. I think it's because I was low in Vit B12.
