Dear Springtime,
My husband and I have been taking Spirulina Tablets, and we feel it is a great product. I volunteer at a nursing home with my dog, Jacob, and it is important for me to keep healthy. Since it has worked so well for my husband and myself, I now feed Spirulina Tablets, to my four dogs. Keep up the great products.
Sincerely,
Cindy Mack-Kish, Ohio
