Spirulina and Chlorella

So have you heard about Spirulina and Chlorella? They have been around for a long time and I read about them some time ago but just decided not to try them.
Google both and you will find tons of info on them, google them seperately as they are both independent of each other but people seem to take them together.
Wikipedia has some unique info on them ,click here for Chlorella and click here for Spirulina.

They both were thought of as superfoods but it seems it was tough to make them in large bulk quantities. In the meantime other crops have come quite further and so the hype is now less.
But that does not mean one should not try them. I got them , I got Spirulina as it has GLA, Gamma linolenic acid , which is a Omega 6 but has properties similar to Omega 3, example its anti-inflammatory etc.
So I went online and looked up Spirulina and ordered some from IHERB.com , why iherb? well that the one store everyone on the web seemed to recommend.
I liked them, many brands were available there and the NOWFOODS was cheaper than other sites or same.
They offered priority mail from some 4 bucks and I liked that, I oredered on a Wednesday and I got it on Friday, though I stay on the East cost and they are located on the West coast. Maybe they have warehouses here but I ordered it pretty late around 5:00 I think.
Even on Amazon.com ( I like those guys) I have to order it by 4:00 to get it shipped that day.

But coming back to the main point , I started takig my Spirulina that Friday and also was taking the CHIA seeds I got from the local store ( more about that soon ).
Let me write about my experience in another post so its not lost in this post.
