Is it possible to survive on Raw Living Spirulina alone?

Yes! You can thrive on Raw Living Spirulina and pure water.

No, you cannot survive very well on only spirulina powders or pills and is not recommended due to it’s lack of living enzymes and vitamins and reported high levels of heavy metals.

Some inhabitants surrounding Lake Chad, where Spirulina grows naturally, have been reported to have survived times of famine on diets consisting purely of Spirulina. Some sources advocate replacing a single meal with Spirulina. Doctors and nutritionists recommend a daily consumption of between 5 and 40 grams of fresh Spirulina to support a healthy diet. Larger serving sizes can certainly be eaten to increase protein and nutrient intake for high endurance althletes, body builders, etc.

The nutritonal content is complete. One would need to consume 17 pounds per day to equal 2000 calories. However, because Raw Living Spirulina is so nutrient dense the body stops asking for food once the nutritional amount is reached. This generally occurs at about 200-300 calories or approx. 3/4 of a pound.
