are the tablets compressed spirulina powder?

Appears to be same ingredients in both powder and tablets. I have used both but can't get the my grandson to do powder. I think the powder is usually a better buy and a bit more pure as the tablets need extra ingredients to make them compress and stay in the form. I personally prefer the pure powder as it is a bit more pure but both are good and this is the best brand I have found.

Yes, they seem to be compressed spirulina powder. I put it that way because it is not explicitly stated on the label but when I handle the tablets, my hands get dark green on them. The label also lists the following other ingredients, as well: "Silica, chicory inulin, vegetable magnesium stearate, and antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase from Arthrospira platensis". I find these to be very easy to swallow.

This particular bottle appears to be powder, but I buy it in the "tablet" form which I find easier to swallow- that is easier than the "capsule" form which is another way to buy it also. So 3 forms- powder, tablet and capsule.

After much research, I chose this Spirulina powder and I put it in my morning shake. Although not technically organic, it was very close. The company's processing procedures are right on. Now, fast forward, I bought this product before I was aware of the huge pile of debris and radiation contamination coming into the Pacific coast line from the Japanese tsunami. Before assuming though, I would contact the company to see what measures they are taking concerning this and how it affects the product. In the mean time, I am ordering broccoli powders and wheat grass powders from another source. It turns out we are not allergic to wheat so this works out fine.

No, they are not smaller, but they go down pretty easy with no after taste.I know there has been a new fish pill advertised to be smaller and have not gas or after taste on TV. I don't think it's prescription? You could ask your local pharm. It looks pretty reputable. My brother got me onto these, he researches everything and has great taste in products, he tried so many different brands till he came across these and now these are all he buys. He knows what he's talking about!

Almost all if not all Spirulina has been found to have heavy metals per natural news.com .. I threw mine out. I now only take Blue Green Algae from the U.S.It's loaded with omega 3s which is great for the brain. Good luck.

No...They are not in capsule form. They are hard, compressed & smooth pills in oblong shape. I think they are easy to swallow.

Spirulina does have a strong, fishy smell. Despite the odor, I've found it to be very effective for specific conditions.

No they are not. They seem sort of in between a hard capsule and a real gel capsule if that helps any. They are smaller than the daily tablets I was taking though.

hello, it is NOT 100% - it is mixed in and I just realized ....... there is barely ANY spirulina at all in this product!!! 1 gram - that's it....... sorry!

The dose is 1TBS per day, equal to a full serving of vegetables and 4g of protein. I only bought the Starwest spirulina once and discovered it comes from China. In my opinion it is better quality from India or Hawaii. Hope this helps.

The package I have says distributed by Natural Zing, LLC in Maryland, and Product of India. Also says raw, organic. I've taken half of my second package of 1,000 count, 500 mg tablets and I'm still alive. :) They also have Hawaiian spirulina powder which I have not used because I prefer tablets. Their website (www.naturalzing.com) says this about it. Hawaiian Grown Spirulina (Ocean Water Grown, Raw) 5 oz [nutrexs] $19.95 100% Hawaiian Spirulina. Spirulina (Raw, Vegetarian, ocean water grown) - Small Size, 5 oz. powder. Dietary Supplement. Spiralina, a blue-green algae is grown in ponds filled with diluted ocean water drawn from a pipeline that plunges 2000 feet into the sea. Oceanographers state that this water has been below the surface since Old Testament times. This pipeline brings this ultra-pure water to supplement the Spirulina's growing environment. No other Spirulina is grown with such a great source of natural hydroponics. This allows the plant to reach its maximum mature capacity. A cool ocean breeze drying method protects quality. This product is packaged in brown glass with oxygen absorbers and sealing caps to protect it, resulting in a high level of quality when you receive it. This Hawaiian Spirulina delivers. Spirulina can be important for anyone needing additional nourishment including dieters, athletes, convalescents and the elderly. Just 3 grams will help supply greatness lacking in most of our diets.* Net wt.: 5 oz powder. Dietary Supplement. My orders have been filled very fast and the packaging and product inside appear to be of the highest quality.

Arun, they are powdered filled capsules. No liquid but powder. They are working well for me.

Yes, the tablets are quick dissolving, excellent for infants and toddlers that cannot handle pellets. Because tablets dissolve so quickly one really cannot taste anything. Our 4 children and 2 grand babies do not have any qualms about taking the tablets. Also, if one shakes or drops bottle the tablets can break apart over time, but the dust particles are still potent.

It doesn't say so on the list...but it says purified water, paraffin oil, stearic acid, hexadecanol, sorbitol, cyclomethicone, triethanolamine, menthol, spirulina, chitosan,sodium chloride, EDTA, Methyl Chloro Isithiazilinone, Methyl Isothiazolinone Green Blend. Hope this helps.

Hello ET. The product itself is tableted which means its content is 100% Spirulina and Astaxanthin. No additional ingredients or stabilizers are needed to tablet Spiruzan. The ingredients listed on the bottle are what you will find in Spiruzan. Capsules and tablets are much different. Tablets are produced by cold-compressing the Spiruzan formulation. Whereas capsuling would require us to place the Spiruzan into a capsules (capsules do have additional ingredients). Tableting does not require additional ingredients. If you have any additional questions feel free to contact us through our website. We would be happy to answer any additional questions you may have.
