...stepped it up to 7g. Still green but damn this constipation whenever I increase. Thank goodness it only lasts for about a day. I've upped my water intake up and it has helped tremendously

It's the chlorella it may be shorter as well. Ive noticed its a bit heavier but three days max. I still take b12 regularly along with blk currant oil. I did stop taking multis bc of how much chlorella I'm taking.
 
Hi Everyone - just wanted to pop in and say have not abandoned my favorite thread. I am just soooo busy with business and it will be like this for the next 3 months - so I won't be posting much. I still pop on and try to read a few posts. But my time is being consumed with business.

Everyone seems to be doing great!!!

My co-worker is totally sold and doing very well on chlorella and spirulina. She has declared already to be a lifer.

I do have one AWESOME update: I am losing weight!!!! :grin:
That is such a true blessing!!!
It is definitely the chlorella/spirulina as my eating habits have not changed enough to result in weight loss. And I don't have time to go work out at any fitness center. Although, I am busy it is not the kind of busy that will result in weight loss. I think as things ramp up I will be busy enough to shed more pounds - but right now I am sure it is the chlorella/spirulina.

By the way, I haven't see @Nix08 post in a few days (she must be off somewhere recruiting more oil pullers :lachen:) and
@Lovingmywaves12 - you are missed AGAIN, I do hope you are OK!!!!
Wenbev - thanks for keeping the thread active and helping everyone.
Sorry to be MIA but this is my busy season.

ilong you are too funny :lachen: I've been a lazy poster as of late. ..but I've now recruited a couple to chlorella. :look: I switched to the powder and think it works better for me. I'm still at about 3g but I'm not entirely sure. I take half a teaspoon. I may up it to 1 full teaspoon today.
 
Ok I'm a tool:grin: I just measured out a tsp and that's pretty much what I've been taking when I free hand it. So what is that 5 grams? I've tried to go up by taking pills in the afternoon but I didn't feel well. I thought it was from mixing brands.

Lol silly girl :) it depends on the brand. I think SN powder is a 1/2 teaspoon for 3g. Maybe leave a teaspoon in the container so you're not freehanding! I do that with chia seeds.
 
I received my package on friday i came home and was like WOOHOO

But then i opened it up and smelled it then i was like oh noooo

Any who i punked out of taking it this weekend and i was supper busy i really want to take it on a day i will be home all day just in case
 
I don't post in here regularly, but I've been consistent with chlorella for the last week and a half. I take it in the morning with water or apple juice along with Spirulina. I made the mistake of taking it at night and got no sleep at all.

I usually have my bowel movements in the evening. However, last night I had three movements in the span of 6 hours usaually I just have one. While I was ecstatic I wonder is this normal?

Mahogony7 yes, it is normal :) it will taper off to 1-2x/day. This happens especially in the beginning as your gut is getting rid of the buildup of toxins.
 
um....So my period is late. I'm never late. (and no there is NO other reason for it to be late) and the only change is the chlorella. I want a short cycle not a nonexistent cycle. I have since stopped taking the chlorella (I ran out) but I've also been taking wheatgrass in my smoothies. Isn't the wheatgrass also a great source of chlorella?

That is weird...usually posters report getting it early not late :(
Wheatgrass is a great source of chlorophyll, not chlorella.
 
Phew. Cycle finally started. It's crazy light though and I'm loving it so far. I bought the Sun Naturals tablets at Whole Foods last night to tide me over until I order the powder. I'm back in this chlorella ride!

I'm hoping the same happens for me. I already had it down to about 3.5 days with other herbs. If chlorella can help then hell yes.
 
I tried taking it for two days and it was really hard I think I siked myself out of it I mixed it with sugar free applesauce , maybe I should have tried the regular applesauce.

i did have increased bowl movement after the first day it continued the 2nd day.

i really couldn't stand to eat that mess so i ordered a gel cap filler and some gel caps they both cost me 34 bucks i figured i would only have to take 3 pills for one teaspoon of powder and over time if i increase to the max recommended dosage i would only have to take 9 pills and i am ok with that so i will be making my own pills in a few days

danniegirl, welcome to the thread! I hear you on the gel caps, I was thinking about that but still doing pills. What brand and dosage are you doing?

I currently take 80 tablets. 40/40 am/pm. I actually just purchased some powder though, going to give it a try.
 
These damn Whole Foods tablets are SO hard to swallow. Like they're big tablets and the edges hurt my throat. Can I just crush them?

Spirulina is so gross looking. It makes my smoothies almost black in color.
