Prof. William Dalton, Ph.D.The spirulina effects timeline varies depending on personal health goals and adherence to a consistent regimen. Most people experience increased energy within 2-3 weeks as B vitamin levels rise. I suggest that clients keep a daily energy log to note subtle shifts, as improvement builds progressively.
Energy & Vitality
- B12 and iron boost cellular energy production
- Noticeable improvements within 14-21 days
- Take consistently before breakfast
Cardiovascular Improvements
- Cholesterol balance requires 4-6 weeks
- Blood pressure decreases measurable after 30 days
- Requires daily 3-5g dosage
Exercise Recovery
- 25-30% less muscle soreness in 3-4 weeks
- Improved endurance noticeable after 5 workouts
- Take within 30 minutes post-exercise
For extended benefits, such as immune support and detoxification, a period of 8 to 12 weeks is necessary. This corresponds to the cellular regeneration cycle. I recommend blood tests at 90-day intervals to measure the altered levels of cholesterol. The importance of consistency supersedes the amount taken, 3g. Taking daily doses is preferable to taking large doses occasionally.
Boost absorption by taking with vitamin C sources like lemon. My clients who add lemon juice see results faster. Avoid caffeine and dairy, which block absorption. Check in weekly for progress: better sleep quality may show before changes in daytime energy.
