In this article, we explore for you the best times to take spirulina and thus make the most of the expected effects of your treatment. ⏱
Spirulina when to take it 👉 in the morning?
You know: morning is a key time for your body, because it needs nutrients and energy to start the day on the right foot. Taking spirulina in the morning can be a great way to stimulate your body and benefit from its many benefits as quickly as possible!
Indeed, spirulina is an excellent source of protein, which is essential for the growth and repair of body tissues. It also contains complex B vitamins, important for maintaining balance in the nervous system and for the proper metabolism of food.
Additionally, spirulina is an important source of antioxidants , which help protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals. These are unstable molecules that can damage DNA and lead to cellular damage.
Finally, spirulina can also help support your immune system, by contributing to the production of immune cells such as lymphocytes and macrophages.

If you decide to take spirulina in the morning, it is the best way not to forget your daily dose. Nothing better to start a new day full of vitamins! Here are some tips to maximize its effects on your body:
The dosage
First of all, make sure you follow the recommended dosages. It is generally recommended to take between 2 and 3 grams of spirulina per day for an adult. For more details, we recommend this article dedicated to the dosage of spirulina .
The consumption
You can take spirulina by simply mixing it with water or fruit juice or even consume your spirulina after your tea or coffee. Some people prefer to mix it with other foods, like smoothies, to mask its slightly earthy taste.

Spirulina when to take it 👉 before and after exercise?
Athletes are constantly looking for ways to improve their physical performance. 👍 Spirulina is a superfood that can help them in their quest for results.
First of all, spirulina is rich in protein and amino acids , making it an ideal source of nutrition for athletes. In addition, its antioxidants are beneficial, both for joints and for sore muscles after e-training.
In addition to that, spirulina can increase energy production in muscle cells thanks to the presence of chlorophyll and phycocyanin. Both of these help increase oxygen levels in the blood, allowing muscles to work longer and more efficiently. 🦸♂️🦸♀️
To benefit from the benefits of spirulina before and after exercise, it is recommended to take spirulina with water or fruit juice approximately 30 minutes before exercise. This will allow the body to assimilate the spirulina and transform it into energy for physical effort.
After exercise, taking spirulina can help reduce muscle discomfort and promote recovery. It is also recommended to take spirulina within 30 minutes of exercise.
For athletes, we recommend a dosage of 4 to 5 grams per day, depending on the intensity of the exercise.
However, be careful not to exceed the threshold of 5 grams per day! If you use our Organic Spirulina , this corresponds to a maximum of 10 spirulina tablets in the same day.
Spirulina when to take it 👉 in the evening?
In the evening, taking spirulina can also offer considerable benefits to the body. Indeed, it is essential to sleep well to allow our body to recover properly after a long day. 😴
Spirulina is known to combat certain factors that can disrupt sleep, promoting general well-being.
Spirulina is also rich in tryptophan , an amino acid precursor to serotonin and melatonin, two hormones that regulate sleep. Thus, taking spirulina in the evening can contribute to quality sleep.
If you use spirulina tablets , you can for example take two tablets of 500 mg each in the evening, 30 minutes before bedtime, with water or in your food (but be careful: without heating it, or you will lose its nutritional qualities), and you are ready for a good night's sleep!
Be aware that, as spirulina can cause a slight feeling of fullness, it is best not to take too large a dose before sleeping. If you are sensitive to caffeine, for example, note that spirulina can also cause a certain stimulation. You may not need to take it after 4 p.m. if you are concerned.
