How about taking Chlorella?

[Chameleonchick]

Yes, it's detox. You can take something for the headaches, or scale back a little and work your way up. Initial detox symptoms will also make you feel like you are coming down with the flu. Drinking plenty of water does help. Hope you feel better soon.

Thank you, I hope so. So should I stay at 10 until I feel better?

Thank you, I hope so. So should I stay at 10 until I feel better?

Honestly, if you can take something and ride out the detox that would be better. But, if you try taking something for the headaches and you just can't bear it, then go down to at least half the dosage until your body gets used to having it in your system, then go up from there.

I hope this helps. Welcome to the world of GREEN!

I haven't read through all of this but I am getting headaches. I have only been taking for the past two days and I have had headaches since yesterday. I drink plenty of water, a minimum of 4- 22 oz bottles of water a day. I am active I just don't understand The first day I took 15 200mg tabs, and today I took 10 200mg tabs just incase I started with too much, but yeah I still have the headaches. Is this normal?

I experienced the same thing when I started, I was taking 3 1000 mil per day and had the worst headache erplexed no matter what I took it would not go away for days, so I took less for a while, the headaches got better, I'm still playing around with the dosage, if I take 3 grams a day I make sure to split it up throughout the day, some days I take 1 gram and sometimes 2, but I don't take more then one 1000 pill at a time, I have the 1000 mil bottle.

Hope you feel better.

I'm about to buy Chlorella/Spirulina pills....I think I'll take Chlorella only for 1-2 months maybe twice a year if my body responds well with it...most detox methods are usually no more than 30 days and I've seen a few that are longer...but since Chlorella is used to detox, why are some people taking it for months/years?...or does the dosage play a big part in detoxing?

You only detox for the first few weeks, I have been taking it for over a year and will continue for life.

It helps my body rid toxins, stay alkaline, my skin is beautiful and I love the energy I get from my greens.
These are the only food supplements I will continue to take for life.

Thicker hair is just a bonus, I take it for all over body health

Cut back on your dose a little bit,*(maybe 5 tabs)* see how you go for two weeks, then bring your dose higher.

Detox is a benefit. Spr/Chl are Superfoods, consider them like a food/snack not a supplement. There are people who chew on the pills all day long, and even those who consume a whopping 70g per day. There are so many benefits of taking them.

People regulate their dosage according to their body's sensitivity, and or tolerance of the detox symptoms. 3g-6g is good. 12g is great for medicinal purposes, and those who just want more benefits, added protection so to speak.

Hope you enjoy being GREEN.

 

[guudhair]

Thanks ladies...mine should arrive today...I ordered two months worth of both (Spr/Chl)...hopefully I will notice a difference within the first month....is it okay to take liquid chlorophyll with it?...I still have two full bottles left that I need to get rid of.

For those of you who experienced a breakout when you started taking these, how long did it last?...I'm taking a vacation in April and don't want a face full of bumps

It has high amounts of chlorophyll, So I do not think more will be needed.
I did not get any break outs, As i tripled my water intake in the very beginning.

Enjoy your vacation

I drink a gallon, plus 32 more ozs every day, and now, I've added DE.

Added DE, very interesting, let us know how it goes.

 

[guudhair]

I know these are considered superfood but are yall taking these with or without a meal?...are yall taking both (Chl/Spr) at the same time?...which one do I need to gradually increase the dosage?...I'm starting this morning.

lol, my nails on my left hand are much nicer than on my right hand too, i think because we use our left hands less?

I take them both together atleast 15 minutes before food.
You need to gradually increase the dosage of both, start of with the lowest amount you can take and work your way up.

Taking your liquid chlorophyll won't hurt. I take the liquid as well.

 

[guudhair]

Is anyone only taking 3g (6 pills/500 mg each) a day and seeing results?...that's the recommended dosage on my bottles and it seems like everyone is taking a lot more...I only took two of each (Chl/Spr) today and will go up to the recommended dose tomorrow...maybe three in the am and three in the afternoon...

Also, is everyone lossing weight?...I'm trying to gain weight and can't afford to loss any...

I take 3g per day, I have 1000 mg pills, I haven't lost any weight, I wish I had!! only been taking them close to a month I did stop for a few days here and there, I take both chl/spr I usually take them in the morning together, and then in the afternoon I take another chl. It usually take my body awhile to show benefits, but I do feel the energy, now sure if it is from both, when I just take spirulina I still feel the energy.

 

[curali]

Mariofmagdal,

Will do.

I put 2 Heaping TBSPs in 32 oz. jug of water, put the lid on it, shake it up and drink it first thing in the morning.

I refill and drink and repeat until I've consumed 1 Gallon.

So far, so good. But I caught a nasty cold(have not had one in years) so I don't know if this is detox or not.

 

[guudhair]

Anyone taking maca with these two?...if so, how much?...pills, liquid, or powder?...what brand?

 

[Vintageglam]

I've been taking the Chlorella (in powder form) for a month now. I've noticed I have so much energy since taking it. The taste does not bother me at all. I am going to be introducing spirulina next month.

what brand you taking Z and how much?

Also what brands you other London ladies taking?

TIA

Also what brands you other London ladies taking?

I take this one:

I started on Monday. It's in tablet form. It says that I have to take 4-6 a day with food for the first week and then 4-6 on an empty stomach from week 2.
I don't mind but something about it looks bootleg but I'll try it until I finish the pack and if there's no difference then I'll try another brand.

Has anyone tried this one?

 

[cocoagirl]

so I started taking Chlorella, just a teaspoon full mixed with a fruit shake. My stomach would hurt but I figured it was b/c I was introducing something new. Well a few weeks ago I made another shake and this time I vomited. Perhaps I needed to have eaten more food as I read OP's post on that...has anyone else vomited with taking chlorella and if so how did you overcome? I am taking Yaeyama....

 

[caringangel]

I started taking 3 chlorella immediately and the second day I had bad stomach cramps. I backed off and took 1 for 3 days, increased to 2 for 3 days, then 3. Now I take 6 a day and I added spirolina 7G today.

At first I noticed more energy, and drifting to a deep sleep (like I was in a coma) at night, and the huge bump on my chin started to go away.

Since then I noticed my hands don't go numb at night, which they used to every night. And the pain in my toes (caused by prediabetes) is gone. I am not green yet, I probably will be after starting the spirolina today.

I think I'm in for life.

 

[Chameleonchick]

I feel great now. No more headaches and I started my kids on them too. They are not taking nearly as much as I am but I sure a little will help. They taste good like nori, which they love to eat anyways so it fits in perfect. I also have been taking spirulina for I don't know almost a year and did not know I could chew that too. Tastes a little stronger than chlorella but my oldest(4) can tolerate it.

 

[madamdot]

I am up to 17 grams/day. No detox symptoms. I am slowly decreasing my HC. I cant wait until i dont have to take it anymore. But the chlorella is really keeping me steady.

No weight loss

Wow! 17 grams. That's great. I had to start back over.
I was too lazy to go back to the store. So I am back at
three grams slowly working my way back up to 12.

[***BlessedMom***]

I got my Dr. Mercola chlorella today. It says take 15 pills daily and that is 3 grams of chlorella. Are u guys saying to at least quadruple that for maximize benefits?
