Ive been reading about what a great source of protein this is and how easily digestible it is however all i can find is that it contains 55-77% protein. I got 500 mg tablets and i wondered if anyone has any info they can share about how much actual protein I would be getting from taking it?

 Thanks

Well, it looks like it would contain: For every 10 grams (20 tablets) of Spirulina, you would get 5.5 - 7 grams of protein. However, what concerns me, is that with every 10 grams (20 tablets), you get 23,000 IU of Vitamin A!! That's a lot!! Bordering on too much!! I personally would not recommend this product.
