What is the dosage?

You will experience the benefits after the first dose.
What do the capsules contain?
Each capsule contains 500mg of concentrated 4:1 organic Spirulina extract, equivalent to 2 grams of Spirulina.
Why are these capsules a darker colour than my previous supplier?
Generally other brands of Spirulina comes as algae that has simply been dried out and capsulated or tableted.
These requires to take around 8 capsules per day to get any benefits.
Ours has gone through an extraction process (new technology), which concentrates the medicinal properties of the powder powder making it
4 times the strength. So this is why you only need 2 capsules, and also why its a darker colour. It takes 4kg of Spirulina to make 1kg of Spirulina extract.
