Welocom IntheIndigo!Thanks for the advice. I'm going to use that for future reference. Sometimes I get nauseous during my period (don't know why but I do). This sounds like a good idea.
Hello ladies!
I'm a major lurker and I never post but I had to say thank you to LD and to all the other ladies brave enough to try chlorella and post their experiences.
I had been taking Green food powder since the beginning of the year (I'm a novice health nut!). It does contain chlorella, but in a small quantity. I haven't notice anything amazing yet from the Green food except maybe a slight increase in energy. Then I tried chlorella and wow!!!!
I've been taking it every day for the past 3, almost 4 weeks. I started really slow, half a teaspoon then increased it the second week to a full serving of 2.5g (a level tsp). I take it mixed with my Green powder ( http://www.progressivenutritional.com/veggies/ ) Right along with you ladies I experienced stronger, whiter and longer nails, but no detox symptoms.
4 days ago I increased it to a full tablespoon (6g) and...oh boy!!! I started having flu like symptoms the same day I upped chlorella to 6g. My throat was sore and my head was hurting. The next day my sore throat was gone, but my nose was stuffy and I still had a headache. I'm feeling much better now; I only have a runny nose. I'm not 100% sure if I was detoxing or just had a cold, But I'm incline to think it was due to the chlorella.
See, about a month and a half ago, I had a really bad dry cough. I went to the doc and she told me I might have asthma because I had no fever and she couldn't hear anything in my lungs and I had no phlegm (I hate that word, yuck!!) She gave me these inhalers and I felt better after 2-3 days. However, I still felt like something was stuck in my lungs that I couldn't cough out. Well, the day after I upped to 6g I coughed out this brownish, reddish phlegm (tmi, I know, but this could help someone else) It continued a few times, and the color kept getting lighter and lighter. Now I feel like my lungs are clear!!! This is amazing!!!
Also, I too became a walking farting machine!! My BM's are odor free!! My skin is glowing, even though I have my periods now, my skin did not break out this month. I was hoping chlorella would help with menstrual pain, sadly, it did not. Oh well, I'm still going to take it for a long time!
I have other things happening, but I have to see more before reporting.
I take this brand: http://www.chloressence.com/
Sorry for the long post
Interesting....
And how is it working for you? any results, side effects, perks.... spill the beans girrrllll!
Hello!!! Checking in- I am still between 1-3 grams daily alternating depending on how my body feels- Today I took a full three grams. I am noticing that taking the chlorella in less juice works best for me. I mix my dose of chlorella in about 4oz of apple juice- mix it up really good and take about 2-3 sips and I'm done- I can't taste it at all. Less is more for me when it comes to the juice.
! It's worth it though. I'm still at 10 grams so I'm going through this stuff pretty quickly. My eyebrows are growing super fast and thick, and I have actually noticed that my stretch marks have lightened up (I have quite a few of them from a childhood skin condition...well, actually the medication for the skin condition). I've had them so long that I stopped paying attention to them a long time ago, but when somebody in the thread brought it up, I could definitely tell that they are less noticeable. I wish I had before and after pictures now! 
, but I don't feel gross, so I'm happy.
erplexed) were green, now they are not. Is this normal? Sorry for the TMI!
