You need to read post one and two to get the low down. I included a quick start guide. But basically it has chlorella growth factor which speeds up cellular repair and production which aids in healing the body and also hair growth. When cells shed, your nails and hair grow. It also has amino acids and just about every vitamin and mineral your body needs in addition to causing your body to be alkaline which helps aid it in healing. The chlorophyl also helps to cleanse your body of toxins. Chlorella has also been known to cleanse metal from the body that can be accumulated from fish for instance and other things that we eat or drink. So it basically helps you in every single way as it's a whole food, not some powder engineered in a lab. It's a whole food that's freeze dried and pressed into fine powder.

Thanks for your contribution, I am having increased thickness but I thought it was from JBCO, ayurveda or D/C, but perhaps it is from the combination. I've been back to green for two days, reverted back to brown for day & 1/2. Thanks!

Thanks. I went back to brown for 1 day, I am back to green full blown now, LOL. My hair has been thickening, but I attributed to my regimine. I thought the chlorella took about 3 or 4 months to make your hair thrive. Thanks.

I'm pretty sure I remember reading someplace that we don't know all of CHL's constituents, so we can't fully know the exact source of all the wonderful healing benefits CHL brings to different individuals.
Day 2 of Source Naturals and I now have a sore throat and 'eye boogers' in the morning. I didn't have these detox symptoms when I first started CHL. Maybe I just accumulated more toxins in the time I had to drastically decrease my intake cuz I ran out, or SN is somehow more potent than Sun brand.

Be more specific? If you're talking about it cleansing your system of toxins, after a while there would be less so you would not have as strong a reaction...is that what you're talking about?

I wish I could catch up on this stuff but mannnnn
4,0000 + posts?
As long as you read the first two, and check in you should be good to go.
I had to stop...projectile v*m*ting TWICE. Sorry for the details, but I just wanted to know if others had such severe reactions. This was the Whole Foods brand..I recently purchased Sun Chlorella but am so scared to take it--unless i'll be near a toilet. I guess it is some strong detox, eh?

Please refer to post one and two. They have info about vomitting which should be adhered to. You need to cut down your dose to the smallest amount and follow those directions to be safe. PM me if you have any questions!

So you're constipated right now? If you're not bming at least once a day you're constipated. You need to up your water, possibly take something to get you moving, and if that still doesn't work, cut down on our dose of chlorella.
thanks, luckiestdestiny.
I just went back and read those posts, as it had been a while. whoo! I was discouraged, since when I first took chlorella, all of my sugar cravings (*especially soda) DISAPPEARED. I was in heaven and ready to get on my health kick. Anyhoo, will lower dosage (was taking recommended six pills), and try on empty stomach. I used to take it with food. Just checked, and the newest chlorella I just picked up is Source Naturals that I picked up from VShoppe.

Chlorella - An Aid In Weight Control And Weight Loss
How to Use Chlorella With Your Weight-Loss Program
Being overweight is one of the major health problems facing Western people today.
Fortunately, it is one of the easiest to remedy.
When the functions of the body are balanced, and the processes of assimilation and elimination are working correctly, the body will naturally revert to its ideal weight. Moreover, the desire for food will manifest itself in harmony with the maintenance of this balance.
Unfortunately, this natural way of functioning is often upset by the processed foods that constitute the bulk of the Western diet today. The nutritionally empty calories of sugar, fats, white flour, and denatured food products do not provide the nutrition we need for health.
In many people this lack of nutrition results in cravings for more food, which can lead to overeating. The effects of overeating are multi-faceted; a diet heavy in refined foods tends to cause sluggish digestion, constipation, and a build-up of toxic materials in the digestive tract.
In turn, this process inhibits proper assimilation of vitamins and other vital elements in food, which leads to an even greater desire to overeat.
A hard-to-break cycle is thus established, one that most dieters quickly recognize.
Chlorella tables are not "diet pills" that inhibit appetite. They work to restore the natural balance of the body so that a real and permanent change can be made in overall health and weight. Thus Chlorella can be incorporated as a healthy and effective addition to any well-balanced weight loss program.
When the intestinal tract is cleansed and functioning properly, and the excess material responsible for congestion has been eliminated, the intestines can once more function normally and real progress can be made toward permanent weight loss.
Drs. Saito and Okanao found that Chlorella actually stimulates the peristaltic action of the intestines, thus promoting a speedy, healthy digestive process. Interestingly, Dr. Bernard Jensen reports that chlorophyll has this effect.
It may be, then, that the high chlorophyll content of Chlorella is responsible for this stimulation. The chlorophyll in Chlorella feeds the friendly bacteria in the stomach, and it is well known that chlorophyll is a good neutralizer of stomach acids.
A grandmother from San Francisco writes:
'I am 73 years old and have always had difficulty with my digestion, and have also suffered from severe constipation. Now that I take Chlorella regularly, I no longer experience any of these problems. I also have greatly increased energy and have lost several pounds of excess weight.'
We ship worldwide - click here to order Chlorella now!
Undoubtedly, one reason that Chlorella is such an effective addition to any weight-loss program is the fact that it stimulates peristalsis in the intestines. Sluggish digestion is often one of the contributing causes of unwanted weight gain and obesity. Until the root cause of this problem is acknowledged and dealt with, the goal of reaching and maintaining ideal weight will remain elusive.
When the digestive system is functioning properly, the body can effectively eliminate the excess material that contributes to unwanted weight gain. Chlorella's beneficial effects on the peristaltic action of the intestines will immediately assist in the cleansing action that is so vital to this process.
In addition, the high levels of easily assimilated nutrition in Chlorella provide the real food needed by the body, thus reducing the cravings that lead to "eating binges."
In the last 25 years, millions worldwide of all ages (infants included) have reaped the benefits of Chlorella. Dr. Yoshio Yamagishi, head of the Clinic Hospital of Tokyo conducted a study in 1961 involving infant subjects who were unable to digest milk formula. Some subjects had also developed an allergic reaction to regular formula. When regular formula was replaced with a formula containing Chlorella, digestion was effortless and problem-free, proving that Chlorella is safely and easily assimilated by even the most delicate systems.
Chlorella's ingredients also improve the entire digestive process. The stomach, widely recognized as the body's 'power plant' benefits greatly from the regular use of Chlorella. Higher energy levels and improved health are two of the many positive symptoms you will exhibit once Chlorella becomes a part of your diet and your life.
Many people have experienced great success in using Chlorella as part of a weight-loss program. An award-winning television producer wrote:
'I was about a hundred pounds overweight and, though I had tried numerous diets, I was unable to lose this excess weight. However, when I began to include one-fifth of an ounce of Chlorella in my natural diet, I noted an immediate improvement. After one year I had lost all of the excess one hundred pounds. My mother had a similar problem and also achieved excellent results in weight loss with a combination of Chlorella and natural foods.'
Because Chlorella works to restore the natural balance of the body, it presents many benefits for those interested in building appetite and muscle. For those who are weak or debilitated, Chlorella is an excellent food supplement for restoring the energy necessary to rebuild health and strength.
How to Use Chlorella With Your Weight-Loss Program
Chlorella can be used effectively with any well-balanced weight-loss program.
Because of Chlorella's cleansing properties, results can often occur without the need for strict dietary changes. Because Chlorella is a whole food, it does not suppress the appetite. Rather it satisfies appetite while providing the energy and well-being that result from good nutrition.
Many people who use Chlorella discover that they simply lose their desire for unnecessary meals and snacks, and do not even miss them!
There are hundreds of slimming diets, and almost as many theories as to how to lose weight. The experience of most dieters indicates that strict diets do not usually work permanently.
Once the dieting period is over, old eating habits initially responsible for weight gain reappear.
The real necessity for long-term weight control is to establish new, more enjoyable, healthier eating habits.
A good daily diet should contain large proportions of whole, unprocessed foods such as whole-grain breads, salads, fresh fruit and juices.
These will naturally encourage the dieter to eat less sugar, sweet baked goods, and heavy foods such as fats and meats. As we discover the wide range and the delicious flavors of the many foods nature has to offer, our cravings for "junk food" naturally diminish. A diet rich in natural foods tends to re-establish the natural balance of the body, permanently relieving severe weight problems. Chlorella works with natural foods to accelerate this process.

Chlorella and Hunger Control
Much has been written recently about the ability of the amino acid phenylalanine to suppress the appetite center of the brain. A recent article in a major national magazine actually connected the high phenylalanine content of Spirulina with its ability to aid in the loss of weight. Chlorella contains a slightly higher percentage of phenylalanine in its protein than does Spirulina. However, as research is still in progress it is impossible to make definite claims that this amino acid is effective in weight control.
Chlorella contains a slightly higher percentage of phenylalanine in its protein than does Spirulina. However, as research is still in progress it is impossible to make definite claims that this amino acid is effective in weight control.
Whether or not research proves these claims to be true, however, at would be a mistake to focus on this "miracle pill" aspect of Chlorella in relation to weight-loss programs. Although the manufacturers of diet pills would have us believe otherwise, there is really is no such thing as a miracle diet pill.
Chlorella performs miracles, by aiding our bodies, the real miracle workers, to tune the natural energies and instincts for health that lie within each one of us.
Hi Green team!!! I am still using chlorella-- and I have one less chin!!! Just want to say thanks again LD!!!

I added chlorella to my DC this morning, I'm sitting under the dryer right now...I'm curious to see how my hair will be or if I'll notice any difference at all. I used shescentit avocado condish, evoo, avocado oil, honey and about 1/2 tsp of CHL.
Anyway, I think I mentioned in another post that I tried the powder but the amount of CHL was too much for me. I'm still only at a little over 2g...I'm taking it really slowly. I notice that if I make a big jump in dosage I don't feel well at all.. but maybe that's just the detox effects? I wonder if I should increase the dosage so that I know the CHL is really working...
I dunno...
I've also used the mask 3 times this week..one time with honey and the other 2 without, I like how it makes my skin smooth but I don't like how it dries on my face..maybe I need to work on the consistency. It's not as bad when I add the honey to it.

Week 5
I took my niece out yesterday shopping and we had dinner at T.G.I.Fridays.
I ordered the Jack Daniels Ribs, grilled shrimp and steamed broccoli.
Except for my 12g of chlorella, 4oz of Green Goodness juice and 2 boiled eggs, that was all I had to eat in the morning and then at 3:00 I got weak for my beloved Twizzlers. (I know, I know). But the thing is I usually eat the large size, but the small pack was MORE than enough for me.
I digress.
So, at T.G.I.Fridays, I ate 2 shrimp, 2 ribs (I didn't eat the Jack Daniel's sauce which was served on the side) and my broccoli and I was STUFFED.
I can usually get down because I do love food, that's why (and being middle-aged) I am overweight, and I was amazed that my hunger is easily satiated.
Go Chlorella!

I snagged two more for the chlorella/spirulina train. After my Drums Alive class yesterday one of the people in the class complimented me on my hair and asked me how I do my twists. She told me how my hair is always very pretty. I gave thanks to LHCF for that compliment. So after giving her the LHCF's url I saw an opportunity to mention chlorella. Well, while I was explaining the benefits of chlorella another lady over-heard the conversation and got interested. The other lady said, "I noticed your stomach is smaller since the last time I saw you." (1 week) I got both of their e-mail addresses and sent them the ebook url.
And another victory to report: My SO is TAKING CHLORELLA! Yeah!
I got him good - yesterday afternoon he was complaining about not being able to lose 5-10lbs. He lifts weights 5-6 days a week and plays basketball with his friends like 3 days a week. He thinks he's too heavy to jump (his knees hurt) which is why he wants to lose the weight. Well - I told him "If you went GREEN then you wouldn't have to worry about the weight" That got him - he noticed my dimples are smaller and I'm a lot happier so he took 1.5gms yesterday. Just today he was asking me about doubling his dosage and I told him - try the 1.5gms this week to see how you feel then next week we'll double your dosage. If he gets too sick I'll never hear the end of it so I'm starting him off really sLOW.

Let us know what you think about the CHL in your DC. I'm really curious. I want to try it too. I've had good moisturizing results with Irish Moss so I'm sure the CHL will do you good.
I just increased to 12gms from 9gms yesterday and I already see a couple more pimples on my face. I just keep drinking my water. I don't feel sick though but I'll see how I feel after a couple of days. Usually, if I increase my dosage, it takes a couple of days before I feel the effect then after a couple more days the sluggish/tired feelings go away.
Maybe 3 times a week is too much for your skin. I usually do a mask every other week. I have sensitive skin. I did CHL mask once after seeing a post about adding honey and rosewater. I liked the way my skin felt. If I do another mask I'll mix it with my bentonite clay.

Hello Ladies!!! I finally came across this excellent thread this past Sunday & after reading up to page 50, went to vitacost and purchased the Yaeyama Chlorella Powder and Spirulina 1000 mg 360 ct tablets on Monday and received my order on Wenesday!! Very fast delivery
I plan to keep a personal diary everyday to record my results & findings with the Chlorella, Spirulina & my egg shake ( I have added to the shake a teaspn of flaxseed oil). I plan every month to post pics and results!
To date: This is my third day & I started with 1 teaspn of Chlorella in my egg shake & 1 tablet of 1,000mg Spirulina first thing in the morning.

Great minds on LHCF! Yesterday I was thinking about a personal GREEN only (CHL/SPL) no other growth aids challenge. I'm planning on starting in May - I will ingest 12gms (8:4) CHL:SPL per day. Since I'm in the BootCamp I won't be able to do length shots every month but I'm going to use my pass in May and June in order to do a 1 month comparison. I'll stop my beloved MegaTek for this time period in order to see if there's a large difference in growth. I average 0.5" per month. I will continue co-washing, DCing and using my A-vedic herbs for cleansing, conditioning and coloring. During this time I will also stop taking Saw Palmetto and Evening Primrose Oil. I'm hope the CHL/SPL combo will make those supplements unnecessary.
So welcome to the GREEN side and thanks for your post!

So if I'm reading correctly, when you up your dosage, you will experience more detox symptoms? I recently went up to 6 grams and I notice a little more heat bumps (teeny pimples) on my face. I NEVER get pimples. I also notice a little bloating? Could this be why? Do I just ride it out until my body adjusts?
