When hubby and I had our BCA (Body composition analysis) I was told that my water retention level is 9.9% which is pretty bad. The guy who did our BCA had a masters in nutrition and I think is undergrad degree was physical fitness or something like that.
Well, he suggested that I should take a blue green algae supplement (a specific brand) that he had to help eliminate toxins from my body and allow my body to use the water that is surrounding the toxins and fat cells to deplete. He said that the toxins were what probably what was causing my water retention and eliminating those would allow for easier fat loss and less cellulite etc.
Hubby and I decided not to purchase anything during the meeting as we knew nothing about blue green algae and wanted to do some research and see if we could obtain it elsewhere cheaper. And we feel that we made a good decision. A few days later, we were doing research on the net and found that some blue green algae that is being harvested dried and sold in pill format comes from a lake in Oregon (I believe) and that is "easily contaminated with toxins such as microcystins and heavy metals." (UC Berkelly Wellness Guide to Dietarey Supplements ).
I'm wondering if anyone else has any experience with other Blue Green Algae supplements or if there are other ways to reduce the toxins and water retention levels.
Thanks in advance.
