Yes: Spirulina is an algae supplement used for fishes and poultry. I assume you are neither. There are complications for eating too much spirulina. Multivitamins are worthless. If you have a tested proven vitamin deficiency, then take that vitamin only. When taken together, there are more chances of metal overdose. Save your money and buy a gym membership for real benefits.
