Kilacurlz What is the recipe for your mask? I used to use retin a and skin peels to stay on top of cytic acne, but I don't have the money for it now.

Hey Seamonster it's really simple. I take one capsule, dump in my hand, and wet my finger in warm tap water and dip it in the powder and rub onto my face. I do this over and over until all the powder is on my face. I haven't used the regular powder yet but I suspect it would work just as well. I leave it on overnight.
 
Wenbev the brand is called 'organic traditions' I think it's Canadian. As for how much I'm taking.. well last night I took a teaspoon thinking it was 1g but isn't that like 5?
Today I've taken maybe a total of 5 if my math is right.
I swear I felt it flowing through my viens last night. .it was weird:look:
 
You were right ladies:yep: I put the powder on my tongue then took a sip of my coffee. ..it dissolved it right away. Now I know I read somewhere that you're not to have it with coffee but. ...:ohwell:
 
Alright I just bought my chlorella and spirulina, I'm in Japan so they're not any of the brands you all are taking. The bottles have about 1500-1600 tablets each. They recommend taking 15-20 a day and y'all know there is no way in hell I'm swallowing all those pills. I plan on crushing them into a fine powder. They both have a faint fishy smell.
 
I bought the Source Naturals brand of yaeyama chlorella at whole foods Thursday. I took 1 gram on Friday and 1 gram on Saturday. I haven't really noticed anything, no real side effects - which is good because I was not looking forward to feeling sick or having boom boom issues - but I do want to detox and get to green. Maybe because I am starting off so slow, then again it has only been 2 days. 1 gram is 5 little tablets. I can swallow all of them at once because they are so small. When should I increase to 2 grams?
 
I would like to try chlorella and spirulina!
Sounds like most of you are just doing chlorella.
What does going green mean?
I'm going to whole foods today, what should I get?
Thanks-

Hopefully the experts will chime in...going green means that your stool is green in color. Choose among the brands in the poll would be your best bet. Pills are easy but expensive when you take them regularly.
 
I started taking my powders on Monday and did t go to the loo untill Thursday and the next time was Saturday! I used to have regular bowel movement and now constipated! What do you do to help with this problem, I drink at least 64oz of water a day
 
Up to 6 pills! Which equals to 3g. I still haven't noticed any neg side effects except for the taste of the chlorella. My bowels aren't green yet.

The bottle says I can take up to 6, but can I take more than what's recommended?

Congrats and welcome to the board Jobwright! Starting slow is key, you can increase to the ten tablets which would equal the 2g now. You can split up your dose take 5 tablets at breakfast and 5 and lunch if you want. I usually swallow five at time bc they're so small. Please keep us updated in your progress. And remember to increase slowly. :)

How do cope with the constipation?
Click to expand...

I added rolled oats or wheat flakes to my diet...keeps me regular it also helps with energy for my morning workouts..

my Chlorella mix has really curbed my appetite..I am down 12lbs since starting...I could have lost more, but have not been exercising as much as I should..I'll take what I have..:lol:

Between taking the Chlorella internally, and using the Chlorella in my facemask, my face/skin is starting to take on a nice glow.
I also put 2 teaspoons of flaxseed oil in my smoothies, and take MSM at night (MSM makes me drowsy)
I got the results of my annual checkup/also did a blood test - everything is within normal limits now....BMI down...yassss! Just wish I had started being a health nut sooner..:lol::grin: even my PMS issues have cleared up

Fine 4s welcome to the thread!!! Nix08 is correct :) there are some of us that are doing just chlorella and there are some doing both chlorella/spirulina. When your 'ish turns green goodness is going on in your body, especially in the gut. Please let us know what brands you decide on and please remember to start slow. The ratio for chlorella/spirulina is usually 2:1 chlorella. Spirulina users please chime in :)

g.lo if you're that constipated, please drop your dose down! Very important! Especially if you're drinking that much water.

pelohello the dosage varies almost everyone. If your ish isn't green, you need more.
 
Wenbev, I got the number wrong the first time. They recommend 20-30 pills a day and 1 pill is 180mg. I just crushed them and Spirulina into a fine powder and added a couple of spoonfuls to my water and tea. The chlorella doesn't really taste like anything, but the spirulina has a slight fishy flavor. I'm curious to see how this all pans out. I already have long nails and lashes and I fart quite a bit because of my fiber supplement:lol: I'm intrigued to see what will happen next.

Okay, so at 30 pills at 180mg = 5.4g. I haven't taken spirulina but did read its fishy. Please keep us updated. You will be Farty McFartster for a while with the added chlorella but not for long.
 
g.lo You could get an herbal colon cleanser to get you through the rough part of detox. I take 5 - 7 g chlorella in a smoothie with 2 t psyllium seed, a 1/2c green papaya with skin on, 1 t papaya seed(whatever is in the slice, and a fist full of kale. To this I add yogurt and fruit to make it taste bearable.

TMI WARNING: This shake could give most people diarrhea and stomach cramps. Green papaya is high in enzymes, the seeds, skin and kale are high fiber, psyllium is a fiber that swells with water-Strong! When I first attempted to go green I still had to strain to go, but now I am good. Eat and go, just the way I like it.
