Accepted Answer

Not really: Spiriulina is plant based protein, therefore is not meant to get you fat.  In order to gain weight, your diet must consist of higher amounts of carbohydrates and proteins and have a caloric surplus (eat more than you burn off).

Question 2

how to take spirulina tablets when i want to gain weight?

Accepted Answer

Worthless: Get involved seriously with aerobic and resistance training. Get to a serious gym and make friends with serious athletes. It's a wonderful gift to give yourself. By contrast, Spirulina is pond scum and you're wasting your money.

Question 4

could spirulina cause temporary/permanent weight gain?

Accepted Answer

No: It&#x27;s nothing but aquatic bacteria that contain chlorophyll. Like everything else, they contain some biomolecules but the stuff itself won&#x27;t do anything. It&#x27;s been around for decades without any real research. If you&#x27;re interested in the fascinating but bewildering world of botanicals and supplements, get with an evidence-based holist who can be your guide.

Question 6

is spirulina (dxn) helpful to lose weight ?

Accepted Answer

High in protein: Spirulina is an edible bacteria high in protein, containing all the essential amino acids that you need in a day.  Protein is filling, and so less likely to trigger hunger a few hours later the way carbohydrates can (particularly sugars or simple carbs such as found in foods made from refined flour or white potatoes etc). Needs to be from high quality source, not contaminated w algae/heavy metals.
