How about taking Chlorella?

I've been taking a "cranberry fruit with vitamin C" supplement, which I began taking before starting back on chlorella. I take my chlorella in the morning and I usually mix it in a drink to wash down my vitamins (so I can drink it quickly), including the vitamin C.

Is waiting until lunch for the vitamin C enough time? Would the chlorella have enough time to do its thing in that time?

classoohfive, the rule of thumb is a 3 hour window
I've been going back and forth all day but my conclusion is that vitamin C as a supplement in conjunction with chlorella is a bad idea, but vitamin c as a nutrient of a fruit is fine to mix with chlorella. That's what I'm going to go with until proven wrong

@onhergrind I take tablet form chlorella with a full bottle of water 3x a day.
In regards to the chlorella with vit C, i've never had an issue as chlorella has vit c in it and i drink a glass of OJ a day. I do remember when my kinesiologist told me I had some liver and intestinal issues he gave me a recipe to chelate the metals and that included taking about three peeled oranges, chopped cilantro and other ingredients and eating it like a salad along with 4g of chlorella and oil of oregano. I didnt feel great for a couple days but I felt better while I was still taking it during those two weeks. He said I wouldnt feel great becuase I was killing off all of the bacteria that lived in my stomach intestines. I cant remember the exact term he used. After the two weeks were up I had to replace the good bacterial I'd lost by taking iflora.

Oh, one more thing Onhergrind09, can yoou share some of your smoothie recipes? Ive wanted to try smoothies, but would rather try some from someone whomactually knows how theyntaste rather from a book! 
ilong I long take it when I notice I'm craving too much sugar, helps to keep away candida from growing in the stomach. I agree, its way expensive. The one I use is called ADP by biotics research and it was $25 in his office but vitacost sells it for $22. And the dr told me women only need to use 1/2 the dosage/day so just cut the tablet in half and it lasts for a while.
If you ever visit Las Vegas, he is awesome to check out!

@Wenbev - I plan on being in Vegas in August . When I confirm my travel arrangements I will PM you for his info. I would love to have a consultation with him. I am extremely familiar with VEgas - what area is he in - (major cross streets).
Question: Did a doctor diagnose you with candida? Otherwise, how would one know they have it? I have been "craving" (eating) a lot of candy during the last couple of weeks. So I am a "candida" candidate <<< LOL
,
I use the oil of oregano in the dropper bottle. (1 oz. bottle for $46
).ETA: I found this link - not sure how reliable the info is.

ilong dang that is expensive! I was complaining about $25 OY! He's north of the strip. N. Decatur and Washington. Yea I was diagnosed with Candida albicans. He did it thru a bunch on muscle tests, weird I know, but all true. Otherwise a dr could test stools to see if the candida is present.
He may have a wait list so don't forget to pm me once you know I hope you aren't a candidate haha funny
That diet is difficult!!!!
And yes that article is the truth!
Onhergrind09 I'm supposed to be cleaning some bathrooms right now and I keep coming back to this! Thank you in advance!
Onhergrind09 and good luck on those midterms!

Wenbev - after I made the last post - I took a dose of oregano 
. I have to order som - only a few drops remaining in the bottle.
IKR - so add the cost of oregano to the cost of other supplements, hair care and skin care products. Who has money for food? Good thing chlorella and spirulina are superfoods.
I know it sounds far fetched but if I continue to expand my supplement regimen - I won't have room for food.
I know where Decatur and Washington is, north of Arizona Charlies, Meadows Mall, Dillards
. (I hope they didn't close that Dillard's). I NEVER leave Vegas without going to all of the Dillard locations ( Galleria, Strip, Meadows). They closed the one on Maryland Parkway. Did another Dillard's open near Summerlin or Aliante? Seems that I recall hearing about a new location. I will remember to PM you.

Lol ilong at taking a dose.
Seriously, it's crazy! I finally have my products for hair, face and body down. But Onhergrind09 has me thinking about those raspberry ketones and smoothies. Lol. Then I check out vitacost and the inner pj has resurfaced.
Yea, his office is a couple blocks from meadows mall. The mall that was supposed to be in summerlin has not happened
have no idea about aliante, that's waaaay too far for me. And if you go key me know what you think, he's a real character lol

I was concerned that I wasn't as "regular" as I when I first started taking chlorella (see post #6085 on this thread). I had become even more concerned over the last couple of days, until I decided to scan older posts in this thread. I am so glad that I did. I discovered other users experienced the same reduction in frequency and magnitude of BM after taking chlorella for some weeks. Check out some of the posts on pages 101-103.
I was very glad to read those posts - as I feared something wasn't right but I didn't want to stop taking the chlorella.
So ladies this is an experience you may have with chlorella - so beware.
I plan to go back and read all of the earliers pages of this thread just in case I experience other transitions.

I received my tub of chlorella powder today. I can't wait to add it to my green smoothie. I'm just worried about the taste and potential side effects.
Has anyone noticed any differences between using the powder and using the supplements? I've started experiencing nausea and bloating in the last day or so with the capsules that I'm hoping isn't made worse by switching to powder.

Kilacurlz - I haven't used the powder yet - but I did increase my dosage.
I had been bloated and "inconsistent" all week. I finally got some "relief" today. But I never experienced any nausea.
ITA 2/ @Wenbev - watch your dosage. Everything I have read suggests starting with small dosages and gradually increase.

Kilacurlz girl you need to slow down! Lol! And lol at being regular! Definitely drop your dosage down to at least 3 or 4g. break it up if you can into 2 doses. This helped another of our green girlfriends lol a couple posts up. you have to give your body time to adjust and get rid of all the junk. I suggest slowly increasing after the initial detox symptoms have subsided. And when you do increase take it a gram or two at a time. Make sure youre using the proper measuring spoons for the correct dosage too! I hope this helps and please keep us updated!

I will do as you suggest. I've just kinda been popping supplements whenever I think about it which may be back to back if I've forgotten when I last took it. :l Not such a good idea because I may in fact be taking much more than 6g tbh... so now that I can easily measure the powder I'm going to take .5 tsp (2g) twice a day in my smoothie to break up the dose a little better. Hopefully that will help.
Thanks for your suggestion!

gn1g - my experience may be similar - just not as fast. Last Saturday, I removed the thick "mane" of hair from my neck. Little Hairs were back by Wednesday.
My growth probably was hampered due to not taking Chlorella for a couple of days last week waiting on a shipment - but I resumed on Friday.
I hope it is working as fast and well on the hair on my head.
I'm taking 1000mg Vitamin Shoppe brand.
I also purchased the NOW brand but I regret doing it now after reading several pages of the initial posts in this thread. It appears the CGF (Chlorella Growth Factor) is very important in terms of realizing benefits. The NOW brand doesn't indicate whether or not it has CGF or not.
One would think that if it did - it would be listed and advertised.

Are you still taking chlorella? Any updates?
It appears some of the original posters luckiestdestiny, @babydollhair, @diomoness, @Jade21) on this thread are no longer active.
Also, earlier posts mentioned Jarrow brand chlorella haveing a CGF of 954mg!!! I don't see this particular product anywhere? Has any active user purchased this? I think the highest I saw was 531mg.

ilong I am still taking chlorella. This is what I use as my multi vitamin. I do tumeric mask on my face and body; tumeric thins body hair.
I do get increased energy, and my hair seems to be growing in thickly. I just take 1 teaspoon and I am not green. When I first started I did have constipation, but with continued use I love this supplement.

ilong chlorella thickensand grows hair faster than any supplement or topical treatment that I know of, it also heals my body better than any antibotic or meds I've ever taken. It is my number 1 supplement. It's a wonderful body regulator. The only other thing about chlorella is that it turns my skin a funny shade, almost a dull ashen shade darker but that shade disappears a couple days after discontinued use.
I love it but I am not willing to make the trade for facial hair.
