Spirulina

A blue-green alga, dried and powdered. It adds protein, iron and plant pigments – studies on other effects are small.

42 products from US online stores, sorted by what 3 g of spirulina costs – not by the price per pack.

What does 3 g mean?

spirulina per serving in most of the products we checked
0.5–3.3 gspirulina per serving in most of the products we checked
  • 3 g is a fixed amount to compare by: half of the 42 products we checked have up to 1.5 g per serving, the other half more.
  • There’s no official daily amount for spirulina.

We compare by 3 g only so products line up – it’s not a recommendation. Not medical advice.

Where products miss quality points

How the 42 products score

  • Very good 90+: 3
  • Good 75+: 39
  • Fair 60+: 0
  • Low under 60: 0
have no seal from an independent testing program
93%have no seal from an independent testing program10 of 30 testing points for GMP, 15 for the 8 whose label says “third-party tested”

The full 30 testing points need an independent test. Every supplement sold in the US is made under the FDA’s GMP rules – the maker checks its own products, which gives 10 points. A seal from a testing program like NSF, USP or Informed Choice means a lab outside the company checks that what’s inside matches the label. Most brands don’t take part. That doesn’t make a product bad – without a seal, a clean product still gets up to 80.

We find seals on the label and in NSF’s public lists. USP and Informed Choice don’t let us search their lists automatically, so a seal that’s only in their lists can be missing. How the score works

The amount we compare by only makes products comparable – it is not a dosage recommendation. Not medical advice.

How we calculate

Cost per dose = price ÷ (servings × amount per serving) × comparison amount. Example: $119.99 for 74 servings with 24 g of protein each is 1,776 g of protein. $119.99 ÷ 1,776 g × 30 g = $2.03 per 30 g of protein.
