I received, my bottle today!!!!!! I'll start with 4 grams, stay there for 5 days and see how I feel. I would like to end up with 15g a day.
How about taking Chlorella?
- Thread starter luckiestdestiny
- Start date
You may want to start at 2g then work your way up. When you start hard core, you may end up with serious constipation like some of the ladies in this thread.
Seriously, I was looking every time wondering how long it was going to take to go green! LOL. Good luck with the gym!

@napbella - you may want to check - if memory serves me correctly "oil pulling" is said to reduce chlolesteral and blood pressure. Lipitor is a dangerous drug (IMO).
@MystiqueBabe - I haven't noticed a difference in my lashes - but I am with you regarding the affects on the skin. I would be one happy person if my lashes started to grow and ECSTATIC whenI get "rapunzel" hair growth.
@Lita - IKR -we are slowly re-discovering that all the "home remedies" our parents/grandparents nursed us with - was the best medical care one could get.
@Wenbev - ITA with you which is why I am increasing slowly. I don't want to shock my system with overload.
@Onhergrind09 - Glad you are being "prudent'
. More is not always better

I just started using chlorella (2g), I added it to my morning protein shake, so far so good. I'll stay at this dosage for the next 5 days then I'll move up to 3g.
Hi ladies, today is my henna Sunday and I usually use this time to journal what I've noticed in the past four weeks since my last henna. My hair had definitely grown more than the normal quarter to a half inch! I daresay almost an inch! It's more than three quarters but very close to an inch! How can I know you ask? Lol, I have grey hairs in the front. For once, these hairs are proving useful since I can use them as a marker. The other thing I have noticed, well, the girl who presses my hair noticed is that I have more hair around my hairline, like new hairs! The last two presses she's done she said my hairline looks thicker but the hairs are short and we started questioning possibly breakage. I have been very diligent about checking the strands left in my brushes and combs (the hubs thinks I'm bordering on obsessive behavior with this) and they are usually intact hairs.
Sorry for the long post, but I'm really excited by the possibility of even more hair density than I already have!

First of all, your post is not even close to being a long post.
Second of all - HHG - with your new growth!!!
I think all of us get excited when we see actual "growth" and "more than the norm growth" is sheer delight.
What type of hair growth products are you using (i.e. oils, sulfur, liquid gold, MN, supplements, etc.)?
Lastly - thank you for sharing and keep those inches growing!

ilong I thought I responded, the ipad app is flippin out. No growth aids, just 8 - 12g of chlorella. I take 4g tablet form with meals. I used to add oils to my deep condish but I currently use oils to prepoo. Avocado, coconut, rosemary, hot six and castor oils separately or together. I purchased some walnut from homegoods so I'll be adding that as well.

I'm on my second day of chlorella, I did some research and based on my height and weight a good starting dose for me is 4g, so I bumped my dosage up to 4 grams for my second day. I'll remain at that dosage for the next seven days and see how that goes.

Going for 4 days strong, and I don't want to speak too soon but I'm feeling a definite boost in energy, I'm still at 4g a day, I definitely think that accelerated hair growth or not I can see myself taking this for life. Plus added to my protein smoothie, it helps me stay satiated.

OH NO! I missed the Vitacost sell? I was just on that site today - price checking. Would you mind sharing which chlorella you purchased from Vitacost? I am getting low and I don't want to be in a predicament where I won't be able to take it one or two days simply because I don't have any. I had to miss 2 days this week because of the healthcare "mandatory colonoscopy".
Onhergrind09 - I think you are going to be very glad that you started on this supplement. Check out spirulina also - it is another green algae which is highly regarded.
@nc cutie - chlorella isn't making me sleepy. although, days like today I wish it would. What dosage are you at?

I'm loving chorella, I have yet to miss a day and I really think amazing things will happen as I increase my dosage, and I went green today, lol. I'm taking the powdered Jarrow Yaeyama Powder and at first I really wasn't about the taste, (I didn't think it tasted fishy, like some ppl have mentioned) I just thought it tasted very green (like super strong kale) but now it really doesn't bother me at all. I flew home for the weekend and I brought some with me, it's that serious. So far so good I'm at 4g right now I plan to increase to 5g starting Sunday and stay there for a week. And every week thereafter I'll increase by 1g until I hit 12g.
Lol! That's awesome, you went green so fast!

So I'm experiencing the first symptoms of detox, acne:/, I've aways had good skin and I RARELY get breakouts, and even then it's no more than 2 pimples at anyone time. But in the past few days I've gotten a handful (5-10) small pimples across my forehead, such is life. I'll update you guys if any other symptoms show up.

So how long did it take for the symptoms to show up?
@onhergrind I had small pimples on my back, slight headaches and bloating as my detox symptoms about a week in. They all lasted approx two weeks. I noticed I would get detox symptoms every time I upped the dosage by 4g. That was another reason why I decided to hold at the 12g as I didn't experience any detoxing when I went from 8g to the 12g I'm currently holding.
naturalfinally Everyone is different and symptoms may include other things like sore throat, stomach ache, flu symptoms, backaches, etc. some people have noticed detox symptoms three days in. I really believe it depends on the overall health of the person,the current diet, the type and quantity of chlorella taken.

naturalfinally, I started noticing the pimples about 4-5 days in, I was taking 4g of Jarrow Yaeyama Powder daily mixed into my protein shake every morning. I decided to start at this dosage because of some research I did based on my height and weight. Those are the only symptoms I've experienced so far. I'll be upping the dose to 5g starting this week and I'll remain at that dose for a week.

Welcome aboard. Keep us posted on your status. I think you will be glad you did this. I know that I am.
@Onhergrin09, Wenbev, naturalfinally
I just detoxed again Wednesday. It took a while for my body and chlorella to sync back up. (Reminder: I had stopped taking vits for health colonoscomy test last week.) I didn't have a bowel movement (BM) until 2/18 (last ones were 2/11/13 - week before) and it was very slight.
I detoxed Wednesday (sleep,lethargic, coughin, achy and pimples on neck). Green BMs resumed Wednesday afternoon.
Sorry if you think this is TMI - but I wanted to share my experiences just in case any of you take a break from chlorella and experience something similar, you won't be alarmed. I do think the "cleansing" for the healthcare test contributed to my experience. I know some members do "cleansing" sometime and it may render a similar experience.

I just increased my dosages to 2g. I have not had any detox symptoms except constipation but I'm usually that way after I travel. Hopefully I'll get some soon.

I received the result letters from my recent health assessments. EVERY test I took came back normal. (Blood work, urine, colonoscomy, bone, PAP, mammogram, etc, etc, ) While I certainly can't and won't give chlorella all of the credit, it is obvious that it has no negative affect on the body. My results are usually good - but as we "MATURE" , health status can change.
But here is another "GREAT" benefit I am experiencing - and I am sure that it is the chlorella/spirulina. I drink water like a fish now!
My day-to-day beverage glasses are 16 ounces in size and I use these for my water. I have a small fridge in my office @ work and I use it to store 16 oz bottled water. I drink at least 6-7 glasses/bottles of water daily and I don't have a taste or desire for any other beverage - just water!!!
And we know that water benefits skin, hair, kidneys and general health.
My appetite is reduced and very rarely do I eat junk or unhealthy foods. This is all good because I am resuming my 18/6 intermittent fast this week - now that I have completed this year's health assessment.
