Spirulina and chlorella routines, quality checks, and how to start.
Superfood 101
Your simplest path: goal → ingredient → quality → routine.
We believe nourishment shouldn't be confusing. That's why everything at SuperfoodSpace follows a clear, intentional flow—so you can move from curiosity to confidence without overwhelm.
🧭
Step 1 — Pick a goal
Energy, digestion, recovery, focus, or “just getting more greens.” Choose one. Then choose one ingredient.
🔎
Step 2 — Choose a form
Powder, capsule, gel, tea. Pick what you’ll actually use consistently.
🏷️
Step 3 — Read the label
Look for origin, part used, extract ratio, and testing info. Avoid “proprietary blend” fog when possible.
🧪
Step 4 — Quality checks
Third‑party testing, contaminant screening, and transparent sourcing are your best friends.
Common “gotchas”
Where people waste money (or feel weird) with superfoods.
Too many at once
Add one ingredient at a time. If something doesn’t agree with you, you’ll know what caused it.
Hidden fillers
Watch for added sugars, flavors, unnecessary binders, and vague “blends.”
Ignoring interactions
If you’re on medication, ask a pharmacist or clinician about interactions—especially with herbs/adaptogens.
