I had to stop taking chlorella. I experienced bad breakouts and there is no way I'm ingesting any more water. I saw a change in my skin within a week after beginning and ending. Now I have to figure out what to do with the rest of it...
 
I was taking this a couple years ago. I think I stopped when a jar ran out and I forgot to order more.

The last two months I noticed my energy was dragging, I was always exhausted and was getting dizzy and my hair growth slowed down to almost nothing. A lot of that is from my iron level dropping. I took iron for 2 months and didn't see much improvements. Then a few days ago I decided to start this back up again.

After FOUR days my symptoms and improving and I'm feeling better.
Going to keep at it this time. So far this time I've been filling empty capsuls with it.
 
Just started taking chlorella, spirulina, and kyo-green 1.5 weeks ago. Day 1 I also ditched coffee because read that it inhibits the absorption of some vitamins. My energy level is substantially higher ( I used to drink 2-4 cups of coffee daily and still be able to fall sleep at the drop of a dime). I've also noticed my nails are longer than usual. Hair?? Don't know yet but for what this has done for my energy level alone and it's long term health benefits it's a keeper for sure.
 
Just stopped in to say I love CHLORELLAAAAAAAA (Oprah voice) I am still taking it and still thriving. I will consistantly take it for the next 2 weeks and give you guys a report. HUGZ!!
 
Generally use the powder in shakes and take 6 grams daily. I think most pills are in the 500mg format which means I'd have to take 12 to get the same dosage so I just stick with the powder unless I'm traveling or unable to get my smoothie in.
 
gn1g so many, I'm definitely a lifer...below are all benefits I read about, some of which i was admittedly skeptical about at first, and now have experienced first hand

- Compliments all the time on how it looks like I'm glowing. My skin looks great
- Regularity
- Weight loss ( this was unintended, I work out and had maybe about 4-5lbs of I don't know what hanging on me. I haven't changed my diet, I've worked out less for the last month just due to circumstance, and yet I lost that last bit of weight I've been trying to get rid of for 6 months)
- I FEEL great, seriously. Just a general sense of well being I can't explain but the things that cause stress in my life haven't gone away
- Energy level is awesome, I have teenage boys and haven't had this much energy since before they were born. I've gone from drinking upwards of 4 cups of coffee daily and still feeling tired to having 1 cup maybe once or twice a week just for the taste. Work schedule (avg 10-12 hrs/day hasn't changed). The energy alone will guarantee I use this as a part of my regular diet always
- Ability to concentrate/focus has improved.
- ability to stop taking almost all the other supplements I'd imposed on myself and my doctor wanted me to take because chlorella is packed with nutrients and vitamins. I think that's why it's considered a super food.

Do I think my hair has benefited? No idea honestly. I'm also taking Viviscal so don't know which between it and the chlorella has improved my nails and hair health/growth.
 
Im gettin back on the chlorella train after a long hiatus. Ive had so many great results w/it, I know I need to order more.

Anybody have any updates??
 
I love chlorella, If I had to chose one supplement more than likely it would be chlorella.

The only major side effect is growning facial hair. My goodness I think I would have a full blown beard in 2 mos if I stayed on it continuously BUTT my hair would be thick long and down to my butt.
 
Bump - any updates?

I was looking at my vitamin stash and had forgotten that I purchased spirulina and chorella. Google searches indicate they are both good sources of protein as well as sources for other vitamins and nutrients. So I think I will add them to my simplified supplement intake regimen

OP included some good information in the first two posts of this thread?
 
^^^ wow so sorry to hear this, hope you are doing ok. I on the other hand am starting up again. I recall this and spirulina gave me great thickness to my strands.. Back on it..

it's weird. I grow new parts to my body randomly. Like my face, arms, back, stomach and thighs get extra chunky. I had good results when I tried it before but the bloating forced me to quit.

As soon as I come off it, the weight/chunk disappears within a few days.:yep:

Im still taking chlorella and spirulina. I take 2 spirulina capsules a day, and about 6 small tabs of chlorella per day (the pack says to take 15). I use Swanson Kyoto Chlorella and a local distributor of vitamins sells the spirulina called DailyVita. They sell on Ebay, but also have a website. I buy both from Ebay. I took both during my pregnancy and I had pretty good health.

Oh wow. Now I'm nervous to start this back up. How much did you start off with this time compared to last time? The first time I had to take very little at a time or I would bloat up and live in the bathroom. :blush: I remember people were starting off with about 3 tsp and I was doing just 1 so I could be among the rest of society :lol: My body adjusted, the bloat went away, I became regular, and I started to lose weight slowly since my appetite was put in check.

I'm trying to get back on this. I purchased apple sauce to help take it but I'm scared of the bloat. I'm going to start on Thursday after school since I'll have a few days off.
 
revisited this and it made me bloat like a whale in 24hrs. :nono: took days to go away :nono:

I do hope your experience is not a "con" of taking chlorella. I certainly don't need bloating or weight gain. (Quite the opposite AAMOF). Some online info (reliability??? who knows) indicates that chlorella and spirulina promotes weight loss. There appear to be so many "pros" to taking chlorella (and spirulina). And since I have them "in stock" :lol: I may as well take them. I hope that I remain consistent with my vitamin regimen, so that I can see some serious growth

I would take one pill. 500 mcg.

can i just say i lost weight taking chlorella. went from 141 to about 132 in like 2 months.
his is very sad since im trying my best to gain weight.
im low riding in my skinnies right now :nono:
 
Hello ladies!!!!!

I ordered mine a couple days ago from Vitacost, they just got here and I already took my 1g. I will take 1g for the next few days and see what happens and how soon I can increase my dose to 2g.

I have 3 girls, all with some pretty serious medical conditions and I am really hoping that this will help all of them. I don't want my girls hooked on Rx meds for the rest of their lives. I dont feel like that's fair to them.

I am hopeful. I will be noting my progress weekly on my blog.

Good luck ladies!!!!!
 
I just mixed 1/2 tsp in my apple sauce. I'm starting very small. This stuff is just as nasty as the first time I tried it, but the cinnamon favor of the apple sauce is helping. I didn't gag so that's good.
