I'm up to 6g but so far so good except for the flatulence. I'm not green yet, but I also do put beets in my smoothies so right now I'm deep red/fuschia lol
ETA: I used to get sleepy at like 8 or 9pm. I was taking chlorella at night and found myself staying up till damn near midnight no problem. Needless to say, I've since switched to taking it in the morning or during the day

I feel lighter and I hope that the chlorella will do an better job without all the waste that was in my body. Also that castor oil flush is no JOKE!!!

When I first read it, the bottle said 500mg but the chlorophyll said only 80mg. Then it said I had to take 6 pills. I'm OK understanding this. But I take it you all still recommend to start slowly.
Is my wholefoods brand OK? Didn't see it on the list and I remember I read one posters comment that all chlorella is not the same.
Thank you Wenbev!

Guess who didnt need coffee today???? Seriously if this is the result of chlorella then it will be the first product that i will buy for life. Most days i couldnt even make it out of the bed now i am up doing laundry

I am a little concerned about my appitite being curved. I am already and skinny person who recently gone vegetarian. I have no desire to loose weight. If anything i need to gain weight. I have been less hungry lately.

The instructions say 6 tablets per day.
Chlorophyll 80 mg (amount per serving)
Serving size is 6 tables (3g)
ETA: I see you guys want to keep me out of the green poop club?
Well darn it I'm pooping GREEN!
I bought a pill crusher and crushed 3X 80 mg chlorella tablets (since I'm suppose to start slowly). I put it on a spoon as I ate my lobster bisque and it was just fine! I even licked my fingers.
I can tolerate this with apple sauce no problem...Green poop here I come!
I'll start the spirulina after a full week of chlorella to see what results chlorella brings.

fine 4s already? Might be the chlorophyll...
May I ask why you're taking chlorophyll? Just interested?
In terms of taking chlorella slowly, it's to allow your body to get used to the chelating effect of chlorella. It binds to metals and toxins in your gut and you'll pass it in your stools. If you take too much too fast, you can experience severe constipation which totally negates what you're trying to accomplish. So to start slow start with 1-3 grams max. Since your dosage is in mgs. The conversion is 1000mg = 1g
Chlorella is not created equal, the kind that most of us are taking on the post is yaeyama chlorella from Japan. I cannot speak on WF chlorella bc I haven't taken it. I decided to go with the popular brand in the poll after I did my own research.
I would definitely increase to 1-3g and hold there for a bit. Just listen to your body and keep updating us.

See, that's why I needed y'all!
The bottle frim Wholefoods said Chlorella on it.
I didn't see that exact word on the list of nutrients but saw chlorophyll. Isn't it the same or the main nutrient? I'm all backwards!!!!!
Darn it!
No worries lady. No, chlorophyll is not the main nutrient. The point of taking chlorella is for overall health, cell renewal, boosting the immune system, removing toxins, hair growth. In my mind chlorella and chlorophyll are very similar but with chlorella you have CGF which stimulates growth - hair, nails, cells, etc

Hey Fine 4s. I used to take the WF chlorella brand and did just fine with it. I went through a quick detox period (acne breakouts, eye boogers) then I went green and got all the benefits from it (energy, stronger nails, joints not aching anymore).
Eventually I switched to the powder form because I increased my chlorella intake and couldn't stomach 25-30 pills a day anymore.

I am new to this but I didn't see CGF on the label. Shouldn't it be there if the Whole Foods brand is one that could/should be taken in this challenge? I may be a little confused...

I asked he specialist for chlorella and that's what she gave me. I didn't know about the CGF!

What can I do for acne breakouts? My skin is going nuts...
it started having a really nice glow to it, and then it just went wild...I am leaving on vacation next week, so might just take a break to see if my skin settles down..Fine 4s I'd stil use it, at least the cell wall is broken. When its finished, I'd purchase a brand that is yaeyama chlorella from japan.
I would send an email or do some research to find out what the cgf is. Its imporrtant.

I am using Source Naturals Tablets so I'm good although I have not gone green yet. Earlier, I was referring to FineS question and label.

Its the detox, did you increase recently? I wouldn't completly discontinue, but decrease the dosage.
Yes, I meant to tag fine 4s...not all chlorella lists the cgf

I'm the girl with bad skin, too.
However, after the detox period, my skin was glowing!! I looked at pictures from the time I used to take chlorella and my skin looked better than it does now. 
The acne that was caused by the detox looked like purging so it didn't leave much scarring behind. I didn't stop when I saw the breakouts and continued to steadily increase my dosage because stopping meant I would have to go through it again once I restarted the chlorella.My only advice would be to increase your water intake and workout to expel toxins. Those two things can only help with the detoxing process and give you clear skin.

MrsMe - welcome to the thread!! I read on another thread where you indicated you have been taking chlorella for a year or more. Good to have you on this thread to share your experiences.
Kiowa - ITA w/ MrsMe - you don't want to start from detox ground zero with the purging. Another thing to consider is your diet. Juices, acidic foods, foods known to cause break-outs may be the culprits. I posted my thoughts upthread on how I think chlorella/spirulina acts. "once they have cleansed the body - any intruders (toxins, mercury, etc) are attacked with a vengence" - just my thought.
I am on the opposite side of the skin effects - my skin is amazingly soft and clear. I think this is an example of users experiencing different results.

I have a sinus infection so I can't really tell if the lower amount is helping. I was getting to the point that it was hard to stay awake and my legs hurt to the touch. I can say the leg pain seems to have diminished a little. But with the meds I'm taking for this sinus thing I can't tell if the sleepiness is from those or still the chl. Thanks so much for asking!
