I asked people what do they use to solve insomnia. My cousin said she is taking Spirulina tablets for her insomnia. Since I have some money I bought Spirulina online. It cost only 260 pesos or around $5. It is 1000 tablets per pack. My cousin said she take 8 tablets a day.
I tried it yesterday and I do feel sleepy at night. I hope it will help me feel relax at night. Have you tried Spirulina?

It is odd that it would help your sleep when a common side effect of spirulina is trouble sleeping. Perhaps it has the opposite effect on some people too. But, please, check with your doctor about this as eight tablets a day sounds excessive. It is a really good thing to get in your diet, but the recommendation of dosage varies per person, and I would hate for this to end up actually harming you.
*I see you said your doctor knows. Please be careful though, anyway.

There are websites that says it is not good for sleep and there are websites that say it is actually good for sleep. I will ask my psychiatrist about this

Have you checked with the doctor? 8 tablets in a day is too much

Not yet with a doctor. She said it is herbal supplement so it's okay to take 8 tablets a day

Oh I see I have that as a feed to my fish but I do not take that since I think this one is for fish feeds. My fish loves it when I give it I usually press it on my aquarium glass and it will stick there and my fish would just munch around it for a few minutes before they fully consume it.

@averygirl72 Yes they love it. They can consume one tablet in 15-20 minutes.

@averygirl72 I should start with no more than 5 and see if it works for you. Spirulina can cause nausea, insomnia, and headaches.

I also have spirulina capsules but I don't take it now. I have two bottles. I bought them before because I had read it has lots of health benefits.

Please be careful. Everybody reacts differently to any supplements. Consult with an herbal specialist who can guide you with the appropriate dosage

I think I might just try this. It is supposed to be good for blood pressure and cholesterol. Possibly even a help to blood sugar. I didn't see anything related to weight loss while I was looking, but I wasn't doing a scientific search. Just a quick look-see.
