Holistic Bin Red Marine Algae Powder Gigartina and Dumontiacea Red Algae Supplements | Gluten Free, Vegan, Wild Harvested | Rich in Vegan Omega 3 (30 Grams)

I have been taking this brand for a few months now and I am very pleased. Compared to others I have tried the beautiful purple color and pungent ocean smell is a good show of quality. This type of algae is used in eastern medicine as an anti viral and immune booster and I found that this brand has also worked really well for herpes viruses and have also kept all other viruses away while taking it. Also like the pouch instead of bottle, as I don't buy supplements in plastic bottles and it's cost effective.

This red marine algae powder by Holistic Bin is a very interesting product. I've heard many great things about red marine algae and although I'm on week 3 of daily supplementation, I have not experienced any changes. This is not remotely discouraging as it can take months to see improvements from any supplement. The smell is predictably of the sea, and my personal experience is that it smells worse than it tastes, but I've been able to successfully incorporate the powder into smoothies where it is almost completely unidentifiable. One thing that would make me feel better about this powder is some type of lab result confirming what is inside the package. I visited the website, and although I learned a lot about their mission, their sustainable approach (which inspires their recycled rice paper packaging), and even useful information about the algae itself, I did not find any further analysis of the product. To address the concerns of some, it seems to be normal for red algae to appear brown, although I'm admittedly no expert. In any case, I think Holistic Bin has great offerings and they're a small family business, so I look forward to trying more of what they have in stock.

This red algae supplement comes in a capsule form that is convenient and easy to take. It is made from two types of algae: red algae and red marine algae. These are a nutrient powerhouse and powerful antioxidant. A serving size is 2 capsules, which are regular in size and easy to swallow.This is a 20-day supply. The quality seems good and pure. The ingredients are 2 kinds of algae and nothing else. Product of USA. Overall, I like this. A little pricey but convenient and easy to take. If you're looking for an algae-based superfood supplement, this is worth a consideration.

Seems like it is doing what it's supposed too. It does have a little bit of a fishy/marine taste but I mix it in with my supergreens or superbeets & can't taste it at all.

Red algae seaweed is a good source of minerals and trace elements and nutrients with antioxidant properties such as polyphonols. I especially like the offering of a powder rather than capsules. It appears to be good quality. I was following the original product directions and taking 1/10 tsp (actually a scant 1/8th) for 2 days on, 5 days off. The seller's packaging directions has changed since my order. Same cycling schedule but dosage is 1/5 tsp (1g) daily. It's interesting the seller recommends cycling the red marine algae powder since it is not an adaptogen. But I do think cycling antioxidants is a good idea. Supplements are there to help, not do what our bodies should be doing naturally. With all the marketing hype, we tend to take too many antioxidants which in turn may interfere with important cellular functions such as our bodies' defense mechanisms and normal cellular signaling.Overall, I really like this red marine algae powder. It dissolves readily in a glass of V8 and doesn't affect the taste.For an overview of red marine algae:DrAxe: "Red Algae Benefits: What You Need to Know About Red Marine Algae"You'll also find more product info on the holistbin website.

i’m glad i got these red algae capsules, but i don’t think i’ll order them again. it’s disappointing that these don’t have 3rd party testing. i received a plastic jar. it was only safety-sealed by plastic film; there was no seal on the jar after opening the lid. i haven’t noticed any good or bad effects after using this for 3 days. i wish the label would have included nutrition data, like how much of which vitamins, minerals, and omega3s these contain. the capsules are just under 1 inch-not easy, but not difficult for me to swallow (i do have difficulty with larger capsules). i opened a capsule and the contents tasted like the sea and a little salt. i like the taste, so i might just open the capsules and mix with hot water. this is currently listed at almost $25 for 40 capsules, which seems expensive.

I grew up eating dulse, a treasure from the shores of Maine. The capsules contain another treasure from the sea: red algae and red marine algae. These have a wide variety of vitamins, but nothing overwhelming in any department. These capsules can be taken as is or broken apart and added to smoothies or used on food.This supplement also comes in powder form if that's a preference. If you do want an unusual vitamin-infused addition to a smoothie or other foods, a powder would be an excellent choice. I have no preference, but did want the capsules. There's a Best By date on the bottom of the jar.

i use it for my skincare products to make a marine cream and this adds such a nice hydrating benefit. definitely recommend this!
