People have to stop trying to depend on supplements for what a diet should provide.

Neither spirulina nor chlorella are good sources of choline. For example if you had to take spirulina you'd need about 6 cups per day to reach RDI. Way to risk getting elevated uric acid, vitamin A overload or a slew of other intestinal issues.

Compare with 3-4 eggs... or 90g of beef liver I know what I would take.

I stated the supplement has choline and has helped with my anxiety. I never stated it was a main source of choline.

3 or 4 eggs a day? 90g beef liver? Sign me up for those pills, Bill.

Like 120 eggs a month, 1400 eggs a years. That is what you envision as the healthier alternative?

Ahhh the old "eggs are bad for you" meme. Eggs are demonstrably healthy. Just don't fry them in a gallon of butter and you'll be fine.

Liver can be pretty good if you spice it up Jamaican style. I regularly make this for people who tell me they don't like liver and they just love it. Pretty easy - Fresh and whole tumeric, ginger, garlic, onions, thyme, oregano, and as much scotch bonnet as you can handle. Soak the liver in brined water or milk for a few hrs and it will draw out a lot of the strong taste as well (French technique). Stew in some water after sautéing the onions to your liking. Same recipe works for stewing heart meat if that's something more to your liking, and it also contains a lot of the same nutrients that a lot of people are lacking in modern westernized diets. Consider what other predators do when they get to their prey: They go straight for the liver and heart.

However if you don't like the idea of trying new things, and just want something in pill form, honestly lecithin or even better citicoline is the way to go in my opinion

I can eat a hard boiled egg on the way to the bathroom.

What’s up with you?

I thought vegatables = good? You can never eat too many greens I think youll find is the prevailing wisdom

[swiftcoder]

Spirulina is not really what is mean by a "green" in that context. You probably can't physically ingest enough spinach/kale/etc to do yourself any harm. Powdered algae is not necessarily such a sure thing

Eggs are gross and I'd need a much better reason than "someone said it was better than supplements" to take a life.

The eggs you buy in the store are not fertilized. They are not, never were, and never can be alive.

This is like fifth grade biology.
