\"Superhero<\/p>\n

It seems the busier life gets\u2026the more headaches I get\u2026the more tired I feel\u2026the more susceptible I am to colds.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to reach for coffee or chocolate on a hectic day, but those are the days I really need that extra nutritional boost\u2026something to give me energy and strength for the coming day.<\/p>\n

Ever since I started taking spirulina<\/a> I have been feeling better and I feel more energetic than usual. Also, I’ve been exposed to a lot of people with colds lately and I haven\u2019t succumbed. I feel that spirulina<\/a> really boosted my system.<\/p>\n

\"Superhero<\/p>\n

If I don\u2019t take a teaspoon of the powdered spirulina by the afternoon, then I will take 6 doses of the tablet version.<\/p>\n

This is my newest smoothie…great for boosting your immune system, detoxifying your body, upping your protein, and giving you more energy.<\/p>\n
