Today, I’m so excited to share with you five health benefits of spirulina, one of the most amazing natural greens to help your body stay optimized and to help you feel so well. I’m so excited to share with you this amazing blue-green algae and its benefits.
1. Provides an All-Around Powerhouse Nutrient Source
Number one, spirulina is a powerful, powerful, nutrient-dense, multivitamin, multi-mineral. It is essentially going to give you all those key nutrients, your vitamins, and certain essential minerals like iron and magnesium and calcium. It’s also a complete protein and amino acid profile [1], which means spirulina functions as a powerful vegan and vegetarian protein source. Its beautiful, dark, rich, like turquoisey blue-green color, makes it super power punch in all of the Bs. It’s a B complex and in the right bioavailable form.
2. Supports Detoxification & Key Detox Organs
The second powerful health benefit that spirulina offers is its detoxification capabilities [2]. Spirulina has the ability to bind to heavy metals and other toxins that you’re absorbing in your environment every day. If you’ve had dental work maybe in the past, or you work in an environment that is rich in cadmium and arsenic and mercury, or use a lot of heavy metals or toxins in your daily life, spirulina can help support your detox organs and it can help bind and remove those particular toxins.
It becomes this really amazing detoxing binding agent [3]. With its nutrient density, the nutrient profile, it also supports the key organs of detoxification like your lymphatics and your liver and your entire kidney-bladder function, as well as supports the circulation. Very, very powerful detoxer.
3. Helps Protect Your Cells with Powerful Antioxidants
The third health benefit with spirulina is that it is a power punch of antioxidants. Antioxidants are a key element if you are dealing with any systemic and/or cellular inflammation.
Spirulina and its antioxidant properties give your cells protection from free radical damage. Every day, the functions of the body creates assorted oxidative stressors, and oxidative stressors yield these little single-cell free radicals. Those are damaging to our vascular channel and our cells. Antioxidants work like Pac-Man and gobble those up and remove them from the body.
Spirulina can really help reduce the aging process, but also enhances the antioxidant intake that you are consuming on a daily basis if you take spirulina daily. I love it as a choice for supporting any chronic illnesses and chronic diseases you might be dealing with.
4. Stimulates Your Immune System
The fourth powerful benefit is that it is an immune system supportive. It actually has the capacity to gently stimulate your immune system to ward off illness and disease.
It functions great as a preventative, but it also can help ramp up and trigger your immune system in the event that you might be dealing with autoimmunity or dealing with any type of illness that your body’s just not tackling.
From the autoimmune perspective, it’s more of a modulator. And then if you are dealing with frequent colds and flus and illness, it just boosts that immune cell production in a way that you can combat the illness. Very, very powerful immune supportive.
5. Supports Heart Health & Keeps Cholesterol Levels in Check
And then last and final, it is a powerhouse of cardiovascular support. Specifically, studies have shown that spirulina can help decrease your LDL, which is the cholesterol levels that we want to keep as low as possible. LDL is responsive to the free radical damage and the net effects of the free radicals in your vascular channel, the liver produces LDL.
When LDL is required because of free radical damage, we can see elevations in LDL. The antioxidant power of spirulina helps us decrease the need for LDL and reduces those numbers, while also increasing the HDL, which is powerful. We want greater quantity of HDL than LDL.
And then overall, spirulina can reduce your heart disease risk. This is very powerful. If you do, like myself, have family history of heart disease, heart attack, strokes. This is a powerful way to use a vegan, vegetarian-based protein power punch with the blue-green algae that’s absorbing all of these great chemicals in the ocean and from the sun. You can harness that power to support your heart.

But to be honest with you, expect your smoothie or any yogurt or chia seed or flaxseed pudding, it’s going to turn this beautiful turquoisey green. And that’s one of the things that I love about it.

With back-to-school season for us parents, we always want to fortify our child’s immune system. And I’m going to share with you my own protocol with my six-year-old son, Gabriel, using some of the wonderful resources we have here at Organixx to support, modulate, and bolster my son and all of the kids’ immune systems.
Using Capsules and Dosages for Kids
So, I’m going to share with you three of my favorite supplements that we use with my son, Gabriel. And I want to share with you, these bottles and the supplements, you are able to open them up and to add the powder to their foods or their smoothies or their yogurts or whatever they’re consuming on a daily basis. That’s how we incorporate these items into my son’s life.
And I’m going to share with you, the dosage is very different than the adult dosage, but these, across the board, are going to be powerful with the return-to-school season. When kids are clustering in classrooms – it’s always, always, always… kids are going to have greater exposure to viruses and certain bacteria when they go back to school. So, this prevents that return-to-school ick that will help us get through the beginning of the school season healthy and well.
Magnesium Supplementation for Numerous Benefits
So, the first thing that every child requires, just like adults, is a good combination blend of assorted magnesium. So, magnesium, there are seven types in our Magnesium 7, and the best way to consume this, especially for kids, is to take a capsule, open it up, and with my six-year-old, we add just about a third of the capsule into his morning yogurt. So, he will consume a nut yogurt, and that’s where I get all my powders, I get all my probiotics, all the good stuff into his diet.
Calm the Central Nervous System
Magnesium 7 is really great for kids for an assortment of reasons. One, it’s very calming. So, if they kind of have the anxiousness or the return-to-school jitters, it will calm their central nervous system down.
Support Healthy Digestion and Elimination
The other thing that magnesium does is help support their digestive process. So, it’s not uncommon when kids go back to school, their routines are a little different and sometimes it can lead to constipation for kids. Adding magnesium will help eliminate the constipated effect of return to school and a different schedule, and sometimes totally missing the morning or mid-afternoon bowel movement. So, Magnesium 7 is really great for that.
Help Improve Sleep and Focus
Then also it’s just, overall, a necessary multi-mineral. The assorted magnesiums is needed in over 600 enzymatic reactions in the body, so it helps them focus, it helps them feel more calm, and at night it helps them sleep better.
So overall, magnesium is a needed requirement for kids. And I love to open up the capsules, add a little bit, a third of a capsule, into some sort of mixable product. It might be yogurt, smoothie. You can even… Sometimes we’ll bake with magnesium. So, that’s one of the three.
Bolster the Immune System
The second of the three is the Immunity 3. Immunity 3 is our blend here. This is wonderful because you’re going to get vitamin C, you’re going to get camu camu, which has even more benefits of vitamin C, from a plant-based derived properties. And we also add zinc.
So, just like the magnesium, take one capsule, you open it up, it’s real easy to unscrew, open it up, and just add a quarter of the capsule into a smoothie or a yogurt mix, it could be applesauce… however you want to add it to your child’s food. But this is really powerful at helping to regulate their immune system.
Zinc is necessary also for focus and it’s necessary for their body to be able to ward off any ick that they might be exposed to with the return to school. Camu camu is one of my favorite plant-based vitamin C resources. And we have that in Immunity 3.
Enhance Mental Focus, Brain Function, and Acuity
Now, my last and final is to help kids with the return to school. And we’re also going to get some really good beneficial properties in Brain Health 8 [formerly Ageless Brain]. This is another capsule that you can open, and I would add a third of this capsule into the mix.
It has a little camu camu, so this would be something where I would add the Brain Health 8 [formerly Ageless Brain] in the morning and the Immunity blend in the evening, so you can kind of do morning dose, evening dose.
The camu camu, plus cat’s claw, plus the bacopa is going to be really powerful at boosting up their mental focus and also supports overall immunity. We also have cinnamon, which is good for regulating their blood sugar, and then also we have dragon’s blood resin and cacao powder. And there’s just so many wonderful benefits in adding in a good brain-boosting supplement for kids, especially with a return to school.
Sometimes it’s harder for them to kind of get in that groove, but these three items will help boost and bolster their immune state, but also regulate their body in a way that they are going to be performing better at school.
So, these three items are really powerful at helping your children return to school healthy and well, regulated in their immune state, and also helping enhance their brain function. I’m so excited to share this protocol that we have with Gabriel with you today. And I can’t wait to hear how it goes for your kids in their return to school.
Organixx Immunity 3 gives you natural immune system support against harmful viruses & bacteria, including the common cold, influenza, and sinusitis. This ultimate 3-in-1 immune support supplement provides 3 powerhouse nutrients in one convenient daily formula: organic camu camu (vitamin C), organic elderberry & 2 forms of zinc.
Video Transcript:
It’s back-to-school season. And I want to share with you some tips to help you fortify and bolster your immune system. Because when kids go back to school, we will often see an increase in doctor’s appointments, where folks are getting some colds or viral invasions that are just related to all the kids going back to school. And increasing our immune defense mechanism is going to be helpful in keeping you healthy and well with the start of school.
Fortify Your Immune System
So, I’m going to share with you some options for you to add to your catalog of resources that will both modulate and balance your immune response, as well as fortify your system, so that you are stronger immune-wise and can easily combat any type of viral invasion. This is also highly effective for any of my long COVID haulers or anybody who is dealing with post-COVID infection that might already have a weaker, a less modulated immune system.
Vitamin C, Zinc, and Elderberry
So, my first recommendation here, I really, really love the Immunity 3. This is a fantastic supplement because it has both vitamin C, it has zinc, and then it has the immunity blend – this is the amazing blend of camu camu and elderberry. And the camu camu is very high in the vitamin C content. So, you are going to be getting a natural hit of vitamin C, and it actually is one of the best sources from a natural plant-derived source for vitamin C. So, Immunity 3 is a really good compliment to your everyday routine and just helping to balance your immune state.
And zinc is also another supplement that, actually it’s a mineral that we will add in to help at the beginning of that immune response. So, if you aren’t consuming any type of zinc or you’re not getting a lot of zinc in your dietary everyday requirements, maybe you’re not eating a lot of meat or are more vegetarian based, we have a really good zinc arginine and zinc glycinate. So, it’s a 50/50 blend, which is really good – assorted forms of zinc are always good to balance things out. So, I recommend Immunity 3. This is fantastic.
Fermented Functional Mushrooms
The other supplement that I recommend is the 7 Mushrooms [formerly 7M+]. This gives you the mushroom potency to help modulate and regulate your immune system. And one of the fantastic things that we see in this particular blend is its fermented mushroom extracts, which means the fermentation process actually heightens the bioavailability of the mushroom compounds. And mushrooms, categorically, are very good at helping regulate and modulate an either underactive or overactive immune system.
So, I’m going to share with you some of my favorite mushrooms you’re going to find in here. There’s turkey tail, you’re going to find chaga, we have maitake, we have lion’s mane, we have shiitake, reishi. We have the fruiting bodies as well. And this is just so powerful at helping support your immune response mechanism.
Multiple Systems Support with Magnesium
And when it comes to fighting viruses and any type of ick that you might be exposed to, one of the most important nutrients that we all tend to have lacking in our body is magnesium. So, magnesium, adding a really good magnesium blend, like the Magnesium 7, that has assorted forms of magnesium to support the assorted muscle groups and organ and glandular soft tissue requirements… we actually require magnesium in over 600 body enzymatic reactions. So, when we’re deficient, there’s obviously a deficiency when it comes to our immune response.
Recommended Supplementation Even if Your Household Doesn’t Include Kids
So, these three are very powerful at supporting your immune system, especially with return of school. And even if you don’t have kids, kids are going to be around, they’re shopping, they’re in stores or in restaurants, they’re going to be everywhere, and so it’s always a good idea if you have children in your family or it’s back-to-school season for your household to just bolster your immune system.
So, those are my tips for you today, and I’m very excited that you should be starting the beginning of school season, bolstered and modulated to help support and get you over any type of viral or bacterial influences that come with the return-of-school season.
Organixx Immunity 3 gives you natural immune system support against harmful viruses & bacteria, including the common cold, influenza, and sinusitis. This ultimate 3-in-1 immune support supplement provides 3 powerhouse nutrients in one convenient daily formula: organic camu camu (vitamin C), organic elderberry & 2 forms of zinc.
Video Transcript:
With kids returning to school, one of the things that us parents like to focus on is supporting our children’s brain health, and I’m going to share with you two amazing supplements that we have here at Organixx that I use in my son’s daily supplement routine. It’s a little bit of a more unique routine in that I take the capsules and I will break them open and I will put a third of the capsule in some sort of yogurt or smoothie mix, applesauce, or even a juice packet.
The Power of Fermented Functional Mushrooms
So, I want to share with you two resources that we have that are amazing. First of all, 7 Mushrooms [formerly 7M+]. It is amazing. There are a multitude of powerful, functional mushrooms that can help support powering up your child’s brain, and one of the things that’s really awesome about this blend is it’s fermented. So, we ferment the mushroom extracts in an adaptogenic, kind of liquid fermentation. So, this also adds to bioavailability of the powerful nutrients in the mushrooms, but also adds to stress management resources – adaptogenic herbals that can lower children’s stress levels.
So, functional mushrooms and 7 Mushrooms [formerly 7M+], some of the ones that I’m going to highlight today:
Lion’s mane is categorically one of the best functional mushrooms for brain function. We know that especially with young minds as kids are learning and teenagers, their brains are kind of resetting all the time. One of the things we know is that lion’s mane can really help support the neuroplasticity and the turnover of good healthy brain cells. So, we actually see the neurons firing in a stronger way and also developing in a healthy way so that their brain function, their memory improves, and overall, we see really powerful brain enhancement through the use of functional mushrooms.
There’s also chaga, which is a really good powerful antioxidant. There’s reishi and maitake – some really good mushrooms that we know are beneficial for immune health – but also are good for brain support. So, 7 Mushrooms [formerly 7M+] is one of the ones I will take one of these capsules, I will open it up, and I will put a third of the contents in a smoothie or a yogurt mix.
Brain-Supportive Botanicals and Herbs
The other one that is specifically brain-focused that we have is Brain Health 8 [formerly Ageless Brain]. So, it’s not just for us individuals in our mid-life or more senior time of our life, but we can use the properties of bacopa and camu camu to help support our kids’ brain health. And this is another one that we would open up and use a quarter of the capsule for the children’s version or the children’s dose. So, these two, 7 Mushrooms [formerly 7M+] and Brain Health 8 [formerly Ageless Brain], are really powerful for kids’ brain-supportive supplementation.
I’m excited to share this with you because one of the things with school returning, there’s a lot of kind of catch-up that happens, making sure kids are at the level where they left the previous grade, and so a lot of times there will be a lot of expectations put on kids and it can be stressful and it also requires that mental focus.
So, these two supplements, 7 Mushrooms [formerly 7M+] and Brain Health 8 [formerly Ageless Brain], can really help bolster your child’s learning and also retention as they learn new skills and tactics, techniques, and practices at school. So, I’m excited to share this tip for us parents out there who want to support their kids’ brain health.
Better Focus… Crystal-Clear Thinking… a Razor-Sharp Memory… ALL Are Within Your REACH! Each and every bottle of our Organixx Brain Health 8 formula contains a total of 8 superstar ingredients, straight from the AMAZON rainforest.

The bottom line is that answering the question, “How long does it take for collagen to clear skin” can be complex but crucial in making informed decisions about your skincare regimen. So let’s dive deep into this fascinating subject!
Discover How Long Collagen Takes to Clear Skin
If you want skin that’s as smooth as the day you were born, collagen supplements might just be your secret weapon. What’s the timeline for collagen to start making a difference in your skin? The time it takes for collagen to take effect depends on various factors, such as age, lifestyle, and health.
Collagen is one of the most powerful and abundant proteins that our bodies produce naturally. It can be found in our connective tissues and keeps our skin elastic and strong, fighting off those pesky signs of aging. But as we get older, our collagen production slows down, leaving us with wrinkles and saggy skin.
Studies have shown that taking collagen supplements can give your body a boost in producing this essential protein. Within 4-12 weeks, you could start seeing improvements in your skin’s texture and firmness. But remember, everyone’s different, so results may vary.
Why Consistency is Important – If you want collagen to work its magic, you have to stick with it. Consistency is key, my friend. Just like any other skincare routine or dietary supplement, you need to keep at it to see those optimal results.
Lifestyle Factors That Affect Collagen Production
- Diet: Eating foods packed with vitamin C and amino acids can give your collagen production a boost.
- Sun Exposure: Soaking up too much sun without protection can speed up the aging process. Don’t let those UV rays ruin your collagen party.
- Smoking: Smoking slows down collagen production. So put that cigarette out and let your skin breathe.
The Role of Hydration in Skin Health
Hydration is just as important as consistency. Drinking enough water keeps your cells happy and hydrated, including the ones responsible for producing collagen. So bottoms up.
A Word on Individual Differences: Everyone is Unique. We’re all singular, incomparable entities, correct? What works for one person might not work for another. So be patient and give it time. Your skin will thank you in its own unique way.
Discover the Perks of Collagen Supplements
Taking collagen supplements can provide numerous benefits such as increased skin elasticity and hydration, better joint mobility and reduced inflammation. Additionally, it may also help reduce wrinkles and improve hair growth. With all these potential perks, taking collagen supplements may be just what you need to get your health back on track!
What exactly does collagen protein do for your skin? Here’s just a glimpse at the wonders that await your supplementation journey:

Once again, everyone’s body is unique, so results may vary. And while collagen supplements offer fantastic perks, they can’t replace a balanced diet or healthy lifestyle. Munch on some antioxidant-rich fruits and veggies to get that added sparkle.
Stay tuned as we dive deeper into the world of top-notch collagen supplements.

Q: Is collagen safe to use on my skin?
A: Yes, collagen is generally considered safe for most people. However, it is recommended to consult with your doctor before adding any new ingredients to your skincare routine. Additionally, if you have a known allergy or sensitivity to any specific ingredient in the collagen product, you should avoid using it.
Q: Are there any side effects of using collagen?
A: Generally, collagen is well-tolerated and does not cause major side effects. However, mild skin irritation can occur in those with sensitive skin. Additionally, people who are allergic to fish should avoid products containing marine collagen, as it may cause an allergic reaction.
