Spirulina vs. Chlorella: Boost Your Mitochondrial Health with Algae Supplements | Dr. Steven Gundry

In this episode, we dive deep into some topics that are near and dear to my heart: Mitochondrial health, brain health, and of course, the gut microbiome.
Dr. Gundry welcomes back Catharine Arnston, the founder, CEO, and Chief Scientific Officer of ENERGYbits - makers behind the small but mighty algae tablets, to the Dr. Gundry Podcast.

The crucial link between mitochondrial health and the aging process (and secrets to supercharge your well-being)
Why even the healthiest foods may not repair your damaged mitochondria (and what to eat instead)
The transformative power of EnergyBits tablets - and how they could offer an effortless way to support your long term health
The TRUTH about spirulina and its incredible nutrient efficiency that can reshape your wellness journey
Unique strategies to bid farewell to fatigue and welcome boundless, crash-proof energy into your daily routine
The common misconceptions surrounding plant protein - and what I eat instead
Why you NEED to know about phycocyanins (and why they’re so revolutionary for longevity)
The key distinction between chlorella and spirulina (and when and how to consume them for the best benefit)
The compelling scientific studies reveal incredible potential for supporting brain health

Chlorella grown outdoors is full of heavy metals. She always mentions that her chlorella is grown with tripled filtered spring water which is great but conveniently doesn't mention all the contaminates that fall out of the sky into the ponds while it's being grown. Her product (Recovery Bits) is actually priced almost 3 times as much as other companies that buy their bulk chlorella from the same exact company in Taiwan that grows it outdoors. She doesn't actually own the chlorella factory. She just uses his company to source her ingredient. The cost for a bag of her 'Recovery Bits' is $130 for 1000 tablets. This is completely insane! For comparison, I get 2200 tablets for only $54 of the cleanest chlorella that comes from a factory in Korea where it's grown indoors under tightly controlled conditions.

Thank you for the great information! I know that this information is about people, but I have to tell you about my dog Zoey. She is an American bull dog and in May of 2021 she was diagnosed with lymphoma. Her Veterinarian gave her about two months to live. Her lymph nodes in her neck were very large. I didn't have the money for chemo or anything else. I had been researching sparkling for myself. I read about all of the good things that spirilina could do including slow down or stop cancer. So I bought spirilina in powder form and I started putting it in her food every day. Zoey is still alive and doing good today. Its been over 2 years since she was diagnosed. Spirilina hasn't stopped the cancer, but i believe it has slowed it down significantly. I believe spiralina is a big part of why she is still here today.

I’m neurodiverse with diagnosed ADHD and suspected ASD - I’m highly allergic to spirulina, and I’m surprised it’s used so commonly such as can even be added to candy for green colouring. My reaction is that I vomit non-stop for 12-18 hours, and it’s life threatening. I’m a very healthy person diet wise so I don’t believe what one person told me that I was ‘toxic’ and I was detoxing, this is not the case. I have detoxed many times, and also had spirulina reactions many times, completely different. Spirulina needs to be researched. I find it really interesting someone else with autism has had a bad reaction although different.

For those out there that want the same nutrients but cheaper options. There moringa powder that have very similar nutrients as spirulina, same nutrients moringa have more, some spirulina have a bit more, also moringa is anti cancer plant, and that's the reason because very rich in all nutrients, including all the amino acids in the right proportion that our body absorbs.

I was excited while listening to this video about energy bits and spirulina. However when I went to their website I was saddened by the price. I can't afford what they want. I know some will say you can't afford to be without them. The reality is when you're on a meager fixed income you have to make choices on what you can buy or not buy. Maybe in a few years the price will be more affordable when the newness of these wears off or more competition gets in onthis new fad. Until then I will continue to eat sprouts.😊

Expiration date was over 20 years old, it had gone thru 95° to 100° days of at least 30 of those a year since my house is kinda poorly insulated in the east bay of northern California. Made a smoothie with a heaping tsp, got that brain rush that good spirulina can do. Spray dried spirulina is a archival food, i would put it past the wheat berries found in the pyramids of giza, that some could be sprouted into a plant today. For extremes of survival. I have no doubt that that powder thrown into a body of water, give it some bicarbonates would spring into life. Yeah if you are a vegetarian the algaes would be a life saver.

[@layaalibabaie1758]

So what is your point

[@denniscerletti2244]

My point is all spirulina commercially produced is just as alive an bioavailable whether spray heat processed or freeze dried. I'd go by price then the illusion that freeze dried is a superior product.

try cutting back the meat and increase the spirulina and see how you feel . if you feel same or better, then cut out the meat and save the money to buy the spirulina and chlorella.

I’ve just started taking Naturya Green Superblend (wheatgrass, spirulina, chlorella, hemp protein powder, with some pineapple powder to make it that bit more palatable, etc) with almond milk, and it’s quite tasty. Available from Amazon UK, Tesco etc. Not cheap (£15 for 250g pouch, £7 for 100g) but well worth it, IMHO. ✅🖖

[@sequri]

In fact, I’ve been adding Naturya Organic Turmeric SuperBlend (turmeric, maca, lucuma, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, black pepper powder) into my diet for a while. Combining the green and turmeric superblends should make for quite a potent drink! 😎🖖

[@Axlotl77]

Wheatgrass alone is wonderful I can only imagine how much energy this will give you

[@sequri]

@@Axlotl77 Yes, I was buying wheatgrass some years ago from a local specialist store, but now that the mainstream supermarkets (and Amazon) are offering these superblends at such a good price, it’s a no-brainer. 👌

[@helgabruin2261]

Omit the Wheatgrass and replace it with Moringa, and make your own to save a bundle of money.

[@domdom7084]

Please check if you're consuming milled wheatgrass or a juice powder. We don't have enzymes (Or two stomachs like cows) to digest grass you can damage your intestine consuming just powdered grass. Juice powder is slow dried and contains no harmful, indigestible materials

Many indigenous cultures relied con algae especially during war time. The Aztecs relied on spirulina they collected from water and rocks. They also ate mostly plant based. Another thing they ate are purple potatoes aka Japanese purple potatoes. Spanish Inquisition changed all of that though. At home we make spirulina or chlorella guacamole, add it to soup, add it to our sardines and anchovies, make smoothies with it etc etc. I yet to make spirulina tortas that azteca use to make along with other popular Mexican greens that support and clean your kidneys and liver. Very interesting how much we've regressed from what our ancestors knew and did. Btw spirulina is what helped me get healthy before conceiving, during pregnancy and after😊

This was a very interesting Pod Cast but it also felt like a hard sell product promotion like you get a time share conference. If Catharine Arnston help up the product one, she held it up a hundred times and by the time i got 3/4 of the way through the Pod Cast i was ready to call it a day. So PLEASE stop the hard sell promotion, it really is very annoying and has really put me off buying this product. I would like to have more scientific facts as the boards she held up very briefly were really hard to see if they backed up her wonder claims. I do not doubt that these products work well but when people are promoting so hard sell then you start to step back and wonder, is this a snake oil or the wonder product she says it is? I will have to do some more research.

One concern about Spirulina as a protein source to me is according to Energy Bits own labeling a serving size of 30 tablets only has 5g of protein. At ~130 USD for 900 tablets, that would run out in 30 days and for only 5g of protein daily. Even though the protein can be readily absorbed and is a complete source, this still means that it isn't practical as a replacement for other protein supplements. I've been searching for vegan protein supplements that could really fit this bill. Everything else presented seems really amazing though. Also, Dr Gundry, you've mentioned in the past that it's recommended to take 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 according to a UCSD study. 1 serving (30 tablets) on the label of Energy Bits Chlorella shows 14mcg on the website per server (10 bits?), whereas my 5000 IU D3 bottle at home has 125 mcg. I'm just trying to understand how this could really replace the supplements I have in my cabinet. Am I wrong for looking at it this way?

I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts about this product. I for one was a bit disappointed when I saw the price. I did comment about that too. My solution is to eat more sprouts.

If you didn't notice any difference in health after taking for some time, maybe its not the healthy kind she speaks of and probably why hers is so expensive. As she mentioned, the processing is important, also there are many knockoffs(fake) of everything around
