Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX Welcome to HealthcareMagic,
I've gone through your query and let me inform you in the first place that, in an otherwise healthy adult, there's no need to take any additional supplements..
Yes, Spirulina microalgae is also another dietary supplement of micronutrients and multivitamins, You can stir a small spoonful(5-10ml) of spirulina powder into a glass of water or juice and drink it straight, or you can add some to a shake/smoothie..in general, while taken as capsules, a standard dosage of capsule consist of 500mg each..
However, my advice would be, not to get provoked by the lucrative advertisements and marketings and simply focus into maintaining a healthy routine and a good eating regimen, eating in time, never to skip breakfast, eating in small/moderate portions and avoid all forms of junk/processed foods, maintaining a good hydration status by drinking a lot of water throughout the day, having a lot of fresh green vegetables, salads and fruits, avoidance of smoking/alcohol(if at all do), these should be fine..
Since you do not have any health issues, just focus on maintaining a good lifestyle and a healthy diet regimen, that would be enough for the wellbeing, overall benefits will be yielded by maintaining all these only, do not worry.. You can also contact the dietitians in this forum for preparation of round the clock diet chart for further guidance..
Take Care
Kind Regards
