Kilacurlz I'm currently using retin a to exfoliate :yep: Do you think chlorella masks would help encourage the process of exfoliation ?
I did a chlorella mask a long while ago once, it made my skin softer, but I only did it once
 
JC-Junkie I don't think I'd do both. In my past experience with retin-a the drying and peeling was somewhat severe. The drying and peeling I've experienced with chl while not as severe is irritating nevertheless. I would think it could irritate you to the point of discomfort if you do both. Plus I don't know enough about chl to understand the chemistry behind this reaction. I would be very careful and discuss it first with your dermatologist.
 
Kilacurlz ain't no TMI here especially if we can discuss the color of our 'ish :look: LOL that is awesome on the mask! Are you still sleeping with it?
pelohello I agree with Nix08 and kilacurlz either way is fine I split mine up as well.
JC-Junkie please make sure you're using a sunblock of at least 30spf on your face when using retina-a or any rentinol products. Maybe you should too kilacurlz since you're experiencing some peeling.
Nicx08 sun chlorella is definitely mucho $ but it is also considered a superior brand.
 
Wenbev, it is superior to the brand that I was taking which says "Made in Canada" on the bottle but is actually from Hainan province in China...quite the eye opener for me:nono:
I was googling which stars if any take it and there were a few actually...interesting.

:nono: Chinese chlorella :nono:
That's pretty interesting I'll have to check out which stars take it!
 
so my spirulina was delivered this morning, and I officially started today.
I took 3g of each powder form! My children looking at me in discuss:blush:.
I was really surprised that I managed to dink it just mix with water, without gagging! proud of myself:yep:
I will report as soon as i go green!
 
Lovingmywaves12 - glad you checked in. I had been thinking about you and hoped that everything was going well with you. How are your kids, especially your little girl?

Wenbev. I do know what you mean about the soft skin from exfoliating - but what I am experiencing now is beyond the softness I've experienced from skin peels, vitamin c serum, exfoliating soaps, acid based creams/lotions, etc.. I always use exfoliating type sponges/cloths.
I haven't used towels to wash my face or body in over 25 years and I haven't used soap on my face in over 30 years. AND every part of my body (neck, upper back, derriere, under the boobies is soft) I truly believe it may be the spirulina. The more I read on spirulina the more I believe it may be contributing to a lot of the results I'm having.

Phoenix14 - ITA w/ Wenbev - detox can be a bear.

pelohello - you can split up your dosage BUT I would not recommend your taking a dose close to bedtime. The energy derived from the protein will result in sleepless nights and your wanting to paint the house. :grin: I keep my greens everywhere I am (home, purse, vehicle, office, shop) so that whenvever I think of them I can pop a couple. As I continue to increase my dosage I know that I will not be able to take 20-30 pills at one time. 4-5 every hour is doable.

Kilacurlz - you have sold me on a chlorella face mask. I am too busy to to one this week but next week I will be the female green hulk. Thanks for the beauty tip.

Nix08 - I know for sure oil pulling has made my lips very soft and they don't chap or get those small skin scabs.

JC-Junkie - Devita is an EXCELLENT brand of sunscreen. That's what I use also AND it is a Zinc Oxide based sunscreen so it is more effective in protecting from both UVA and UVB rays. Some of your drugstore OTC brands has an ingredient which actually attracts some of the sun's rays.

Wenbev you are dead on about TMI :eyebrows2

g.lo - :pepper: a new "gangsta'" and Welcome to the spirulina clan. :lachen: Please keep us updated on your results and experiences also. It will be great to have a few of us taking both and posting our experiences to see any similarities.

Wenbev I still sleep in the mask. I may not continue to do that though. I may start leaving it on for 10-20 minutes twice a day instead. We'll see. I always use moisturizers with spf 30 everyday already so I've just kept doing that.
 
ilong :grin: Sometimes it leaves a white cast so I get the amount that I would need for my face and spray it a bit with my MAC Fix + which helps it to become little more fluid and applicable :yep:

Am I the only one not looking? :blush: I think I'm greenish, but I hate to look..:lachen:

I am getting frustrated with my hair, my nails are growing like crazy, and long toenails freak me out for some reason:nono:

i upped to 9mg, had a change of plans, so less than 4 weeks till I hit the beach...going to pre-pack portions of my powders to take with me

The chlorella mask was too drying for me..:nono:

9mg? You mean 9g??? Packing to take? That's awesome :)
 
I went light green on 1 g. Hit Dark Emerald green at 2g. Somehow I thought it was going to take more. I tried 4g for the first time today, meant to do 5g, but I couldn't finish the smoothie.

I get a tired right after I take it, that is my only detox symptom. I went green to detox, so I was hoping for more. I actually mix it with fresh cilantro to remove more heavy metal. My blackheads are popping off; is that a detox symptom.

Is 5g a healing dose? or do I have to get to 10g for that?

It's all relative to your body. I feel good at 8, even better at 12g and super awesome at 16g! I hear you on the chelating just pay attention to your body. Wish my blackheads would pop off!
 
Day four, and i am proud to report that I am greeen:yay::yay::yay:
now, the most noticeable thing was yesterday! When i woke up I though that my face looked really bright and glowy:blush:, and later on the day 2 complete strangers paid me a compliment about my skin:drunk::drunk:!
I will up my :drunk:dosage to 6gr ( for both chlorella and spirulina)on monday:yep:

forgot to mention as well, that my eyes went from medium brown to a light brown almost hazelnut:blush:, a part from that no detox symptoms yet!
 
Okay. Then I'm not green. When I was taking chlorophyll I was g-r-e-e-n. I'm at 4g now for the chlorella. Is it possible that the Vitamin Shoppe brand isn't good? I can't imagine swallowing 10 of these horse pills everyday just to get green.
 
I up to 4 chlorella pills! So I think that puts me @ 2g. For 2 pills the bottle says its 1000 mg.

Those of you taking the powder does it dissolve in warm water? I just took it with cold water but it was sticking to the side of the glass....

Nix08 when I shake up my powder in a cold store bought smoothie (bolthouse green goodness) it doesn't mix well but when I let it sit out for a couple of hours then shake it it mixes right up (I would describe the smoothie as tepid at that point). Therefore I would assume it would mix well/dissolve in warm water.

I am currently holding steady at 14g. Every time I try to up the dose my body can't really handle it. I may just stop here for a good while then try again in several months.
 
g.lo awesome news on being green!!! Congrats on the dewy skin :) never heard about eye color change! How cool is that?!?keep us updated on the eye color, I'm interested to see if your original color returns or not.
Phoenix14 no worries on not being green yet. You may have more to work out of your system. Have you increased your dosage as yet? I didn't turn green until I hit 6g and it took several weeks. I think ilong was taking the VS or VC brand of chlorella as well and decided to switch. The brands taken by the original posters maybe pick a different brand after you're finished with the VS brand.
Nix08 yay on the powder purchase!!! What brand did you buy and how many grams are you taking now?
pelohello yes your math is correct 1000mg = 1g. Congrats on your increase! Keep on posting your updates :)
