try to lower the amount and increase your amount over time, this way your taste buds will be exposed to the spirulina and you'll be able to tolerate the taste more as time goes on.

Awesome that things are improving Jennifer! It'll take about 2-3 weeks for most people to get used to the taste. Coming from a person who used to gag at the taste of vegetables, I promise you'll ge...
