In the context of a food rebalancing cure, spirulina will fill the deficiencies, but be careful not to overdose. It is preferable to respect a progression in the cure. For example, we start the cure with a consumption of 1g the first days before using doses of 2g.

– difficulty concentrating, remembering, reading, lack of motivation, energy;
