No, because I haven't tried to "mix" it yet. I did get some of the Missing Link, the Professional Strength, which has Spirulina in it. (This formula says it detoxifies).
Must have quite a bit because the powder is green. The instruction say 3/4 teaspoon per cat. I am startign them off w/ 1/8 so that the taste does not bother them. I take 2 cans of moist food @ 3.oz or 1 @ 5.5 for 4 cats. I divide into 4 little single serving bowls (World Market has lots of chioces and sometimes the Dollar Stores). I put a pinch of Lysine, then the Missing Link, stir in. I also take the little empty cans and fill one half full w/ water, swirl around so to get all of the juice, divide into their food. Kitties like juice, It makes a gravey. They cannot get too much water, of course. I will ask around through, about just the Spiulina dosage for you. Susan J.

I have been meaning to try it on my felv+ gang, as well as work it into my other group of kitties eventually. Right now the nonfelv cats just get the brewer's yeast sprinkled on top of their dry food, which again is the Evo mixed w/ Core. Ok, both formulas say "veterinary formula" on the package. One package is gold, while the "professional strength" is on a silver package. The professional strength says it is for "Recovery & Detoxification". This is only available @ the vet's. I didn't have time @ the vet office to compare both packages to see what the ingredient difference was. But listed they have probiotics, carrot & alfalfa powder, yeast, freeze dried beef liver, kelp, dandalion root, garlic, yucca as well as spirulina. I am interested most in the spirulina, I take that and I believe it helps me. A friend of mine had a felv+ cat that she gave spirulina to years ago, and the vet was amazed that he threw the virus. Hard to tell if he was just one of those cats that does, or if the spirulina actually helped. Another friend had a kitty that ate some of the bad pouch Nutro food that was going around, and went into renal failure @ the age of 3 years. He recovered after 2 weeks @ the vet and lots of sub Q's helped, but she also mixed up a batch of spirulina and some other things for him to get. She gave it to him orally, it was a liquid. Not sure how he is doing, I need to call her and see what it is that she was giving him. I paid $21. for one pound of supplement,must be kept in the fridge after opening & use within 90 days. I will let you know if I see any difference in my felv+ cats, which as of now (knock on wood) are not symptomatic. Susan J.
