I have been adding spirulina and chlorella to my smoothies for years. I also add my multivitamins with minerals to my smoothies as this is better than popping the pills and creates a food substrate to assimilate the nutrients better.
Recently I have been learning more of chlorella's strong heavy metal chelating capacity. I wonder if it is chelating the good minerals that I am mixing it with and preventing them from being assimilated?
Would it perhaps be better to take chlorella separately from mineral dense supplements?
Many of the "best" and most expensive supplements combine everything. I imagine this has been studied?
