I am 35 years old and doing bodybuilding for past 1.5 years and taking olimelt 5 mg as an anti depressant, and I am planning to take spirulina as a protein supplement as it has high protein content, do they react with each other and can they produce any anti-effects on my body when taken together?

Dear lybrate user. Many of the trading high protien powders in the market are having steroids mixed with them which predisposes a person for depression. As you already had an episode of depression in the past, you be cautious of what that powder contains as ingrediants. Spirulina in pure form has no such interactions.
