How about taking Chlorella?

[DecemberBaby]

Just got my spirulina powder in the mail! Now I'm waiting on my chlorella powder. I ordered from two different suppliers on Amazon. The tablets made me go green but other than that, I haven't seen much of a difference with anything else. Hopefully the powder will give me better results!

Good for you! Remember, this is a journey. You must take these foods daily for at least 4 months to get the most benefit.

Stopped Chl/Spr for past two weeks due to an upcoming surgery. However, my status has changed and surgery postponed until August. I am resuming today at my regular dosage.


FYI, my pre-op bloodwork was excellent, not that I expected less, I received a clean bill of health, but came down with Acute Bronchitis that turned into pnuemonia, and now I am trying to get over that.


Why stop the Chl/Spr? Because of its cleansing properites of the blood. My Doc advised me to stop taking it two weeks before so that it would not cause me to have excess bleeding.


I spent two days in Hosp this past week, I really wanted to get surgery (hand) over with so I can get on with life, but it is what it is. Grateful to be feeling better than I have been.


Have a great weekend ladies!

Mario,

Hope you feel better soon and your surgery is a success!

Yeah, after I typed that last post, I thought to myself I've only been on the tablets for 3 weeks I think. I need to give myself more time. I'm so impatient with myself. I get discouraged easily if I don't see instant results but I'm sticking with this for the long haul!

Yeah fish primarily and shrimp and crab (basically seafood). I'll pm you! I know that some requested the recipes earlier. So I put together some of my favorites. Some of them are spicy, though. Otherwise I just get bored.

I want my CHL. I want my CHL. I miss it terribly.

I think I may come back to Chlorella but with pills. The powder is to pricey, and the juice I had to wash it down with was also expensive. Better to try the pills see if I can get results with that and I don't need juice just water.

What pills do ya'll recommend that give great results?

 

[JFemme]

I'm up to 4 grams per day, and feeling fine...

(love you ladies, for all the advice & getting me through the detox period)

I have tried Source Naturals, Vitamin Shoppe, and Earthrise. Earthrise is my favorite and choice product. Used the others while running low or out. Welcome back to Chlorella.

Got your pm. I just pm'd you!

If anyone needs more let me know. I have primarily seafood recipes and some chicken. I think I included like 10 in my pm, but I have waaaay more . So if you like those feel free to give another pm. I have to have tons of ways to eat...otherwise I'd just go crazy Cause I love food too much to eat the same thing everynight. I have to have flavor and I also love spice. The enchiladas, you should def try those crab enchiladas first if you like mexican. However, you can also replace the crab with chicken and they still taste dynamite. That recipe is really fast too (especially if you buy like a roasted chicken or the crab already prepared. then you just add the enchilada seasoning and a tiny amount of corn oil until it coats, then put it in with the green chiles and other ingredients. Also get the onions already chopped to save you more time, and the same with the chiles). I'd say it takes like 15-20 minutes to prepare (not including bake time which is about 30 mins) It's with a green chile sauce(but you'll see that in my pm).

Being as it's cheaper...I MAY just MAY try earthrise this time around. I don't want to mess with my source naturals...but I am curious. Thanks mariofmagdal!

I would love a pm of those delicious sounding recipes!

I want to start taking Chorella for my overall health and have read much of this thread (I read about 10pages or so a day). I have figured that pills are easier for me to take at this point and may move to powder in a few months. I saw the poll say most use Source Naturals but some like Earthrise as well. Earthrise has a higher mg/capsule (500mg) than the Source (200mg) and I want to start with 1-2grams a day probably 1gram really. I just wanted some advice on which way I should go? Thanks ladies. I'm ready to go green!!!

The 200mg pills are really small. Depends upon how you do pills, I prefer less and Earthrise makes that easier with their higher dosage. I give chl to my daughter, and she takes the smaller 200mg pills, they are easier for her to swallow.

Welcome!

I have earthrise spirulina and may try the earthrise chlorella too once I am finished with my source naturals chlorella powder... Whats your dosage of both again (how many spirulina pills vs how much chlorella powder or pills) I know you probably have already told us sorry!!! Thanks

No biggie. Ratio is 2:1 so, 2 spirulina for 1 chlorella. You can gradually work your way up to it.

I was thinking of trying the Earthwise pills too, but is it really cheaper? You have to take 6 for 3 gms and that's a month's supply. I would need to take 18 pills to get in my 9 grams. So, for me, a 30 day supply would cost around $38 at Vitacost, which is more then the SN powder . Maybe I'm missing something, help me out.

I think pills cost more, they are just easier to deal with. Earthrise pills cost more than SN everywhere I checked. I figured they get away with it being a specialty co.

Welcome!

I found some Source Naturals 500mg for a good price so I think I'll try them for now. I rather just take a larger amount less often then trying to take 5 pills over the course of the day. Thanks for the advice.

 

[DecemberBaby]

Just wanted to say I got my SN Chlorella powder in the mail yesterday! Can I mix my spirulina and Chlorella powder and take them together or should I take them separately at different times? Sorry if this question has already been asked. TIA

You might be right. I was just going by what I was hearing about SN prices going up

Hi everyone! Hope all is well! I have not checked in for awhile. I am still taking CHL I just lowered my dose. I take it with a teaspoon of spirulina. I only take about 1.5g. I do not really notice that much extra growth but, I can tell you that the spirulina helps. I do not notice as much growth without it. I am also natural and do not take my hair out that much. So, maybe I do not notice it ?? I take CHL mostly to ensure that my cycle is light. I also added a digestive enzyme with CHL/spirulina. My body has really responded to the addition of a digestive enzyme! I think if my dose were higher, then I would notice more changes but, I am only willing to stay on a small dose. HTH someone!!!

LuckiestD, thank you for receipes I love seafood!

Hi Chlorella fam! I know I haven't updated in a while and I apologize! I had stopped taking chlorella for about 3 weeks (ran out of money) and I will NEVER do that again. I gained a LOT of weight after I stopped taking it. (I think there are other factors that contributed to that but I'm not sure) I felt very drowsy as well. A few weeks ago, I got back on track and started taking my chlorella again and I feel great! I did go through detox again but it was well worth it. I feel good again!
