A member asked:
Is spirulina safe to take if someone has infected kidneys? won't the high protein in spirulina aggravate kidney problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spirulina: Keep total daily protein intake between 0.6 and 0.8 gm per kg body wt per day. Spirulina is not so dense as to be a heavy or high source of protein. And, plant protein is less straining than animal protein for kidneys
