This is from some research that shows spirulina can absorb toxins, and then when I take Metamucil, it helps to slow my body's processing of the supplement.
What I have noticed is that the increase in nutrients will go through me super fast since I have a lower fiber diet, but when I have taken it with Metamucil, the fiber increase really slows down my bodily function. I figured if the algae is moving more slowly, it should also be able to have a higher absorption rate since it stays in my body longer.
Spirulina had a moment, and I took it, in the UK in the 90s. I'm struggling to remember exactly why I took it or stopped taking it, but, as a veggie, it did seem to offer everything else I might be lacking in my diet.
As I've aged my digestion is no longer as robust as it was, so I'm keen to give spirulina another go, plus the husks (metamucil is especially good, you think?) for a few months and see if I feel any different.
The removal of heavy metals is a plus, though I also am a little skeptical of how essential removal is, or of the genuine serious long term damage caused. I need to read up more.
