How about taking Chlorella?

[sissimpson]

I just started taking chlorella again, small doses.

 

[ilong]

@sissimpson - yes you have to start with small doses. It does an excellent job of cleansing.

I just started doing spirulina shots or adding it to smoothies again. My hair was so healthy back when I was taking large doses of spirulina.

Glad this thread has been bumped.

 

[julzinha]

Where do you ladies get your spirulina from?

 

[ilong]

@intellectualuva - yes - same here.
I had thought about increasing both chlorella and Spirulina - but chlorella does more cleansing and I think spirulina has the greatest overall health benefits and highest amount of protein. So I plan to increase my spirulina dosage.


@julzinha - I purchase Hawaiian Nutrex - prior to July I was getting it from Lucky vitamin. Now I purchase from Costco (online)

I'm up to 9g per day so far...

 

[ilong]

@greenandchic - That is awesome!!! How do you feel?

 

[sissimpson]

building back up s.l.o.w.l.y......

 

[greenandchic]

@greenandchic - That is awesome!!! How do you feel?

So far so good! My doctor recommended it to me to help with my detox.

 

[Nyssa28]

I've started back taking these...Right now, I'm at 4 pills. Hopefully I can get up to 10 within the next 7 days.

 

[ilong]

@sissimpson - yes please build up slow. Increasing dosage too much - too fast usually renders bad results.

@greenandchic - WOW! I am impressed, a doctor who recommends chlorella is a keeper in my book! You don't hear of doctors going off Western medicine script too often.

9g daily? You are going to feel fantabulous!!!

Chlorella does such a great job of cleansing. Consistency in taking it daily, "regulates" the body and I feel "clean" after my daily "chlorella cleansing".

@Nyssa28 - please be sure to build up slow and keep us updated on what benefits you realize and how you feel.

What brand and strength is everyone taking?

 

[Nyssa28]

@ilong Thanks for the reminder. I'm taking the Source Naturals Chlorella. So far, so good!

I don't know if it's having some type of impact on my lashes, but they were very fluffy when I applied my mascara this morning.

 

[ilong]

@Nyssa28 - that's awesome. I haven't experienced the growth with the eyelashes but chlorella (and all of the other supplements I take) make me feel so good and my skin is wonderful.

@ilong My primary care doctor is an ND. I don't know many MDs that would even know what it is! So far so good though I just started it. I need to place an order soon so I don't run completely out!

 

[sissimpson]

I'm taking a brand I found on Amazon, Chlorella/Spirulina 50/50 Mix
Each tab is .1 gram of each,and I'm only taking about 10 daily... yeah I'm taking it S.L.O.W.........

 

[greenandchic]

I'm taking 9 g per day and will slowly increase to 15 g...

 

[Kurlee]

I started talking a mix of chlorella and spirulina again. So far, so good. A few teaspoons in my smoothie every morning.

 

[Guinan]

Is anyone taking The Vitamin Shoppe "Super" chlorella? If, so how many tablets are you taking a day?

 

[greenandchic]

Is it "broken cell wall"? Also how many g or mg is each tablet?

 

[Guinan]

Is it "broken cell wall"? Also how many g or mg is each tablet?

The bottle doesnt say if its a "broken cell wall". It says 1 tablet has 1000mg of super chorella. I wont be purchasing this brand again. I prefer the "Now" brand that def has the broken cell wall.

 

[nc cutie]

I'm taking the vitamin shoppe brand. Starting over again...

 

[CurlyRy]

Yup, I'm starting over again too

I have two bottles right now in the house and I really want to get back on track. I use to take about 30 of the 200mg pills daily and I would like to get back to that. After I'm done with the pills I think I should just switch over to the powder.

Chlorella gave me a lot of energy and I believe it helped with my skin too. Can't remember anything about my hair (I don't measure it with a ruler/measuring tape) but with all the nutrients I'm sure it did something haha

I am taking spirulina and chlorella with my daily smoothies, but this morning after cleaning my scalp with clay, i sprayed my scalp with a spirulina/chlorella/green tea mix. I am wearing a plastic cap and my scalp is still tingling.

Wow. Never heard of using it in this manner.
What exactly are the benefits....

I had a growth spurt due to ingestion of spirulina, and I thought direct application of these nutrients to my scalp for absorption might also give my follicles a boost. I did read something online about making a paste and applying to the scalp as a mask.

 

[CurlyRy]

buuuuump

I've been keeping up with my chlorella but I'm still working on getting back to taking as much as I use to

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

Ive been taking it as well (spirulina/chlorella mix) and I've noticed clearer skin.

There are so many benefits I plan on continuing to take it.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

Started taking both Spirulina & Chorella about a week or two ago. So far, so good!

 

[cupcakes]

I need to restart this

 

[Frizzyb]

Yeah it helped me too
