How about taking Chlorella?

[Jaxhair]

Would it help those that cannot stand the taste to take it with a smoothie? This way you're getting all your enzymes, vitamins and minerals fresh from your (prefarably organic) fruit and veg and even saving some cash. I even got hubby taking [my] green superfood in smoothies. I also add green leafy veg to it and so far he loves them and has not complained of the taste. He actually asks for them everyday! Now, this is a guy who will happily eat steak and chips (fries) for brekkie, lunch and dinner, sigh! and one of these gets you to your 5-a-day and beyond.

Personally I love the taste of the sea - think of it this way and not as a fishy taste - might help?

I love this stuff and enjoy eating it so much, I want everybody else to do so to, lol! Maybe my pallate is just.... weird? I really have to stop myself popping and sucking on and chewing the pills!

BR, I broughtg each Bolthouse Farms bottle for $4.29 at my local grocer. I plan to stick will pills after this. The pills will probably go faster and cost a little more, but factoring in this type of green juice cost extra as well.

I agree. You are right about the extra cost of the drink itself and these drinks aren't cheap. 64oz doesn't even last me a whole week! They also have as much sugar as the OJ I was taking and I am really trying to watch my sugar at this point.

I just bought a bunch of pills yesterday called Chlorenergy from the Vitamin Shoppe. I bought a book about chlorella and it says that there is a specific species and strain of chlorella that was used in all the studies we read about (Chlorella vulgaris-CK-strain, which contains chlorella vulgaris extract (CVE)). The book says that to see the results that are seen in the studies as far as helping major health issues this is the chlorella that should be used. Chlorenergy is the only company that I have found that sells that specific strain. I am going to see if I can scan the pages and make a PDF of this info in the book. Anyway they only make tablets(no binders, fillers) and it was so nice to just pop the pills with no taste, no extra sugar, no mess.

Interesting (strain). I'm going to have to do more research on that. As for the juice: I really don't drink that much, and I could also do it with water or applesauce to reduce costs. I'm a pro now: chlorella and water. Off to research chloroenergy.

LD, the info about the strain was in one of the links you posted to a google book http://books.google.com/books?id=kI...and+Chlorella+Vulgaris+Extract+(CVE)#PPA12,M1. I went ahead and bought the book but I don't remember if the info was part of the mini preview that GB allows you to see.

Checking in ladies. Its Day 4 for me. I am on 2g of Sun Chlorella (tablets). Well I had a super busy day yesterday (not in the office, at a church function serving hundreds of people), and came in today totally knackered so much so that I was actually literally nodding off during the morning prior to lunch. I got so desperate that I had office-supply some biscuits for the short term sugar rush, but no surprise I crashed soon after feeling even more sleepy! I dragged myself out to lunch, and about 15 mins after had my CHL. Report on the rest of my day? Fully functional and brighteyed, I've had a burst of energy, and I know its not just from eating - I'm still feeling energised now nearly 6 hours later! I also have an early inkling that the internal deodorising has begun which is fantastic news!

 

[VincyLongLocksWanted]

I'm on day 3 (1 teaspoon every morning)
I was very gassy for three weeks when i added garlic tabs to my regime, the gas has now passed

i have about 3 bumps on my face now so i guess i am detoxing!!

i have a little neckache and I also had my first green BM..

My neck hurt when I first started for a few days. It felt like it was right where my head and neck connect. Make sure you drink more water to flush out the toxins. It will help with the bumps and the neck pain.

 

[VincyLongLocksWanted]

The facial mask sounds great

I very rarely get pimples so i'm definitely detoxing!!!

I had to force my breakfast today as I did not feel hungry!!

I wonder what the neck ache is about as I have never had pains in my neck before?

The neck pain came out of no where it seemed like. I had never had that part of my neck hurt before. It will pass.

Hello Fellow Chlorellans

I just want to share about my nails. My nails will grow, but I have to keep nail hardener on them if I want them to grow without bending. For some odd reason, the nails on my middle finger and ring finger on both hands bend after they get a certain length IF I don't keep hardener on them.

Well, 2 1/2 weeks ago I trimmed all of my nails off which I do periodically and that was a week after I started my chlorella. I thought it would be a good opportunity for me to see if the nail-hardening properties of chlorella would work for me. And now my nails have no hardener and they are nice and strong (not bending) and have the perfect length.

Go chlorella!

I am on birth control but not to prevent conception. My periods come every 19 days if I dont take it, they are extremely painful and make me vomit, so this gives me every 28, easy periods. I stopped taking it because I've been on it since I was 18 and it bothers me because I'm not married and haven't tried to have kids yet. I dont know what the long term effects are. My friend suggested I see if Chl has an effect on it, so I took myself off for a month. I had the easiest lightest period, but it did come a little early... So although it's not really changed teh fact that my cycle comes every 19 days, ti did make it much lighter and easier... I have no hair shedding or anythign like that.

OMG It makes me feel so good to know that there is someone else out there like me. I have also been on BC sense I was 18. If I don't take it I get extrememly terrible pains, my tubes begin to drop and I can feel it, and I get uncontrollable contractions. It's so painful and makes me sick and overheat and sometimes I'll pass out. And this is "NOT" being on my period LOL! I seriously though tI was the only one. I dunno wtf I'm gonna do if I ever have to come off of it Maybe we should be friends

Yeah, the difference chlorella made to the nails was quick for me too.

My 5 year old daughter has allergies and eczema. She is also a huge mommy copy cat. So, I purchased some yaeyama Chlorella, shipped from Japan to my door for her to take. They are 200mg tablets, and I am going to let her ride at the recommended 1000mg per day. I will report on her update too. She proudly took her first dose today.

I will cut her nails should they grow quickly, I can't stand little girls with long nails.

Thank you! I'm just a little happy that I can after 15 years still fit the same clothes. I have been pretty close to the same size my adult life, it takes work! I'm going to be 47 this year so I'm just counting my blessings for being healthy and feeling great!!

I am amazed that I'm not the only one that had the neck pain, it was intense like the first week to 10 days in!

The neck pain came out of no where it seemed like. I had never had that part of my neck hurt before. It will pass.

It will pass, mine did!

Had some Nettle tea last night and a cup this afternoon between breakfast and lunch- Great tasting. I did not even add sugar/ honey this afternoon. Thanks for suggesting ladies

I really enjoy the tea as well, but it makes me so sleepy! I gave some to a co-worker at work the other night, and we were both doomed!

I slept like a BABY last night!! This afternoon when I took the tea, I was just really calm, not at all sleepy though.. I may have to cut out the mid afternoon cup of nettle~ hate to fall out at my desk while working.

Yeah, my co-worker blamed me for our horrible night from that moment on, our patients were off the chain, and there we were functioning like zombies, because I wanted to share the goodness.

She did like the tea, so I gave her an extra pack for home.

Ladies so far all is well. I am 10 days into this. When I started last week, I misread the instructions and thought I was taking 9 grams but I was only taking 3 which turned out to be a good thing...it forced me to ease into it. On day 7, I increased to 6 grams. The headaches started but that seems to be the only downside. I fast frequently, so I am use to the detox symptoms. I went out and purchased some powder because when I increase to 9 grams I don't think I can swallow all those pills

My husband, son and daughter are all taking the pills and we are running through them. The kids are 12 and 15 but I am only letting them take 1 gram for now. Needless to say, we are all walking around farting, we already had it bad, now it is worse. The pills have made me and hubby very regular and the poo is green

My cravings haven't decreased any...It maybe due to the fact that I workout and my body is still craving the calories.

I also purchased some nettle tea and have been drinking that as well.
I hope to update with some more positive results as I go into week 3 and up to 9 grams.

I am excited about this stuff and have been telling everyone about it. This is definitely something I plan on using for the rest off my life.

 

[IndianAngel22]

I FINALLY found this Naked Juice Green machine stuff and funny enough it was in our little store in one of our dorms. WTF? When I searched for it in my area they said they don't carry it anywhere near me so they need to update. Unfortunately for the little bottle of the green machine they charged $4.55 or somethin! WHA????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If it's close to that price in store how is it even worth it? It was tasty though. I don't feel like I could mix my chlorella in it though, I could already taste it in the drink and it was enough for me alone! I just like putting mine in applejuice but I'd love to purchase it for drinking in general

 

[luckiestdestiny]

Yeah. It's better to take it at night before bed. It really helps you to wind down I've found.

 

[mariofmagdal]

Oh yeah, the green drinks are pricey!

Good to see you're incorporating the fam. I was telling my sis in law about chlorella and she decided to do the same and started on the low end. I think that's best for kids (their sheer size, they're not going to need as much as us anyways). I'm glad you accidently started out low too, that way you were able to ease in. Looking forward to hearing updated from the family!

The applejuice or applesauce is waaay cheaper. I only get the green drinks if I want some anyways. I still make it like a spritzer (water, green drink, and then powder just to cut the taste so my drinks have been lasting a while and so has my juice. I'm on a budget!).

OH ladies I missed y'all so. I have been testing this week and I couldn't quite make it to the board. Yesterday was a month on the Chlorella for me. I am proud to say that I made my goal of 2" for the month, actually a little over that. I will have my brother take pictures on Sunday that way when I show you my growth progress at the end of March you will have proof.

I have lost weight, gained muscle tone and my eyelashes look false. My skin is flawless none of my classmates believed me when I told them how stressful studying has been for the past 2 months. This is a miracle, I will definitely be creating a paste of chlorella and emu oil to place on my stretch marks for the next few months to see if I can see some tone and improvement there.

Inspired by LD, I put chlorella on a cut that I have had trouble healing and it did the trick in a day. This cut has been on my hand for the past week and it wouldnt heal because I wash dishes everynight but one night of studying with chlorella paste on my hand did the trick,

Because I had to travel to take my exam I fell off on the eggshake for tuesday, wednesday and today but I plan on getting right back on it tomorrow. I also cut my dose of chlorella in half because i would not be able to deal with frequent BMs because of the test.

A quick tip: if you are taking tablets and you have a cut or some small scar to heal, just run the tablet under the faucet and rub it directly on the scar. Its the perfect amount and its not quite as messy as making a paste.

I'm going away on vacation as well and the first thing I thought about was: how am I going to take my powder?! So I ran to the store (I actually had to go to 2 stores) and bought tablets!

A question for you ladies: I will be enjoying a cocktail (or two or three...) during my vacation, so how's the chlorella with alcohol??
