Wow 14 grams sounds like a lot! It's funny the bottle say take one a day it is 1000 mg. What do you notice different when you keep increasing the dosage? What is the maximum amount you will take? Have you lost weight or noticed hair growth? I'm really interested in taking it to be more healthy, but if I lose a few pounds or my hair grows that would be an added benefit

I am currently take six grams of chlorella and seven grams of spirulina. I am working my way up w/ the spirulina. I have been slowly working my way up. I started taking the chlorella first. But, I noticed I started having bad headache, so I took the vitamins in two separte times. I am still having the headache, and I drunk 180 oz of water.
I notice also that my nail haven't been growing fast, like they were when I was only taking chlorella. I have micro's so I don't know what it have done for my hair. What should I do.

12g is Medicinal. However, I have read where there are people who pop chlorella/spirulina all day long, and take up to a whopping 70 grams or more per day. While we are careful dispensing, they are pouring and chewing by the handsful!

Headache is a detox symptom. You may want to take something for the headache, and or scale back until you reach a level of comfort. Increase slowly from there. Let your body tell you. Slow is good, and it is so worth it.

I am taking this much to heal my body. I am suffering from Hashimoto's disease and am on a lot of steroids . . . . which I am trying to wean off
I have noticed hair growth but no weight loss (which I am dying for - I get so jealous when I hear people say they are on 6 grams and losing weight).
The best thing is energy which has been stable despite slowly weaning off the steroids. Its going to take some time to recover but I think this will be helpful.

Yes I always take with food. The vertigo has passed. It's like when one detox symptom ends another starts
When does all the detox symptoms surpass, is it a certain amount of time or is it a certain dosage?mariofmagdal

Detox means it's working.
How long it sticks around depends upon the person. It could last weeks and or into months. If you can bear it, it's a good thing. If not, you can always slow down and increase when your body is comfortable.[/B]

Make sure you are drinking lots of water . . . the detox symptoms for me usually go away in a couple of days. I notice they are more severe if I am dehydrated.

I've gone green at 9g of chlorella! Hopefully I will start to see some hair growth soon.
I am 5 1/2 weeks posts and my new growth is very visible. It seems like it goes from nothing to POW in week 4-5. My hair grows in really curly. The last time I went to my stylist she said she thought I would twisting my hair into dreads intentionally. Of course I wasn't.
My nails are still brittle, even though they grow superfast.
My energy is getting better and better everyday. I am walking up a storm. This is great because I am slowly weaning myself off the steroids I am on without any side effects . . . . . I am so happy about this. NOW if I could only get some of that weight loss everyone else is talking about I would be on cloud nine.

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!!!
Sooo that's why! Lol I have been on CHL for about a two weeks. I had no detox symptoms and went green immediately. My period was extremely (well relatively) light! The only negative effect that I had was that I ate some greasy fried plantains about two days ago and had the worse stomach pains, vomitting and diarrhea...guess once you go green you better keep that diet clean.

I have mixed feelings about chlorella, and I would like to stop taking it.
I've been on it since around last May, and it's caused me to have extremely bad insomnia. This has negatively impacted my quality of life in many areas. I also suspect that it doesn't help with breakouts (I'm not sure if it causes them, but when I take a short break from chl, my skin seems to clear up.)
I haven't noticed ANY of the spectacular results that people rave about: weight loss, clearer skin, less fatigue, faster hair growth, mental clarity, less aches and pains, improved immunity, etc. Nothing.
It also doesn't seem to agree with my body in some way...after 9 months, I've only been able to get up to 7 grams. Every time I try to increase my dose, it's very unpleasant. I have to add on miniscule amounts VERY slowly.
The single result that I've seen from chlorella--and this is a big one for me--is that it keeps me regular. I've struggled with irregularity for many years now, so this is a huge blessing in my life. For that reason alone, I'm reluctant to stop taking it.
I also would like to stay on it because luckiestdestiny posted that it clears heavy metals from the blood, and I like to eat fish.
I'm going to try switching up the time of day that I take it, and see if that helps with the insomnia. But I can only really afford to give it another two weeks...I need my life back. I can't afford to keep walking around looking like a zombie from lack of sleep.
erplexed If anyone has any other suggestions, I'm all ears.

@ Mstar, I suggest listening to your body. What are your reasons for increasing? At what usage did you first go green? If it was at a lower dose, by all means I would go back there and remain. You will continue with the benefits that you are receiving and I suspect the rest will eventually follow.

^^Hey mari, that's exactly what I was thinking of doing. I went green very early on, at 2grams I believe, and I became regular then.
There was a lot of talk earlier in the thread about 6 grams being the minimum dosage at which the most benefits would kick in, and since I have a thyroid problem, an even higher dosage was recommended. But I think you're right...a lower dose would probably work best for me. Thanks for responding!

Still on the Chlorella since the start of the first group started early last year,I believe or late 2008. I have had hair growth, but I'm not tracking it every single month consistently. I get about an inch a month. The main reason I take it is for the overall health benefits. My husband even started it as well.

Why does the bottle that I have say take one per day, it is 1000 mg? When you keep increasing the dosage are you doing it to just go green? Can you go green with just spirulina?

Can I take only chlorella, and it give me all the vitamins that I need
I agree with mariofmagdal - listen to your body. I have a thyroid problem too so I understand wanting to increase. But remember everyone is different. I haven't had any weight loss (at least not that I have noticed) and every-time I read someone saying that I get mad. Why not me???????
But not only are you not having the positive effects its causing bad stuff to happen - so yes I would lower or even stop.

i just came through a terrible cold. at first i thought it was the chlorella and one of it's detoxification processes. Nope. it was a bad cold. So if symptoms pop up, and you think it's one of the benefit's of chlorella, think it through.
I will say, that the symptoms of the cold moved through faster than usual. it usually takes about 2 weeks for me to get through them. it's only taking about 1 week, instead. The Fiery/sandpaper soar throat, runny nose, fever and constant coughing, were shortened. i only called in sick for one day, and worked 1/2 day today. That never would have happened before.
So, when the cold symptoms begin - they are just cold symptoms. drink plenty of water, lots of soup - for the electrolytes and rest.

Hello, everyone!
I, like many others, have been a lurker for sooooo long so today I finally got a paid 'script.
I started taking Watershed's 50/50 on Dec. 10(my b/day) and then started taking the powder Jarrow on 1/6/10. Also got my husband taking it in our green smoothies and that was a major accomplishment
I have not seen any green consistency(only went green a couple of days) but my husband is green all the time(go figure).
I am sleeping so much better and so is he, but I would like to see some growth as the
top of my hair is very thin and, of course, my husband has hair like the football player with the Pittsburg Steelers but I am sure I'll start seeing some results.
Was on MT since October, but not really much growth. I drink lots of water and our diet is very clean as we are vegetarians.
I am asking for suggestions, advice, etc from everyone and would like to say thank you to Mario and LuckiestDestiny as I have been reading and learning from their previous posts throughout these 552 pages.
I am so glad to be a part of this forum and look forward to any suggestions from you all.

I just started taking nature's way chlorella (3 a day, even though the dose on the bottle is 9 a day) and nature's bounty hair vitamins a few days ago. I got a weave sewn in yesterday and know what my usual growth is after six weeks. I'll see in the next six if there is any change in the health or speed of growth in my hair. I haven't noticed anything yet, but normally when my diet is good the first thing I notice is my nail growth. I'll update when I see any changes.
