Spirulina…Oh man..The taste is awful!! Its soo pungent, I’ve almost gagged a few times but I had to stop myself. I would take the pills ( if they have any, not sure) but I don’t want to be popping 20+ pills or more per day just to get a teaspoon of it.
I drink chlorella 2 times a day with a glass of water, I can handle strong tastes for health benefits, but I’m struggling soo much with chlorella.
How are ya’ll masking the taste?
I try to mix mine with CHL and water and gulp it down

I take mine in caplet form. I know it seems like a bit much, but I sit with a smoothie and gradually take them, since they are food, and I take them 30 min before meals, and prior to sleeping, I think of it as snack time. The mind is so powerful. ;0)

I also take Chlorella 2 times a day. I mix it with strawberry banana flavored V8 V-Fusion (I can't stand the regular V8 drinks). It has a fruity taste to it, and since I'm trying to eat healthier as well, it allows me to also get a full serving of fruits and vegetables. I am extremely picky when it comes to food and drinks, but mixing it with V-Fusion has made the Chlorella go down pretty easily.

Spirulina/Chlorella come in tablet, caplet, capsules, and powder forms depending upon maker.

I just read this again. I understand what you're saying. I think it's possible if you're not after a while to lower it until you do and then slowly increase until you get to your 10gs to cover the anemia and other problems. I know you already had problems w/ eliminations so it may not even be the chlorella it may take a while for your system to balance out as this is something that needs balancing and could take time.

I upped my dosage to 9 grams yesterday. I was feeling pretty good yesterday but today I feel flu like 
Sneezing, sore throat, runny nose (sometimes stuffy) and just overall tired. Up until this point I only had a headache once or twice. Anybody else start feeling like this? How long did it last?

Just received a Swanson Vitamin's catalog. They have three types of chlorella in tablet form. The one that caught my attention was their chlorella called "Chlorella Growth Factor"
Check it out at www.swansonvitamins.com/chlorellagrowthfactor
The CGF is 550 mg. Believe that's close to SN's.
They also have Chlorella and Fermented Turmeric combined.
Thought I'd post.

I'm sure you could rinse it but I leave it in and I focus on my scalp with a nozzle. When I first got started I just used a cup and poured it on my scalp but of course it distributes through your hair too. I only wash my hair once a week (gasp I know but it's thick and takes a long time to style and I'm all about low manipulation)

Forgot to add, you can use the tea as much as you want, I know yodie is spraying it, and I use it whenever I want on my kitchen area for instance. so you could just do when you wash or more frequently. When you wash still gets the job done. As you are leaving it on, it's staying in the hair.

You just gave me an idea...I have a lot of empty capsule shells... I can make my own little caplets if I should get the inkling :scratchch

My hair growth buddy just shared this info with me today. There's a little thingy that allows you to fill empty capsules. I'll also post the link to purchase empty capsules. See her info below:
http://www.developed.net/capsule.htm. If you scroll down they have the cap-m-quick 50 capsule filler for 9.95. This allows you to fill 50 capsules at a time, supposedly with ease. lol I also bought the capsule "tamper", for 3.95, which pushes the powder down into the capsule. I think the tamper is optional, but since I don't know anything about this, I'm experimenting. Also it was inexpensive.
Link to purchase empty gel caps - http://www.vitacost.com/NSI-Empty-00-Gelatin-Capsules
Might be a way to save extra money by purchasing powder and then transform powder into capsules.

Thanks for the information Yodie. You know when I started reading it I instantly thought that this is a really good part of chlorella but not complete. It's great that they extracted more growth factor, but chlorella in general has tons of vitamins minerals and other stuff that the body needs in it's complete form. When I did some nosing around this is what I found on the site. My conclusion is that this would be great as "added chlorella growth factor to speed up hair and nails possibly, but not for cleansing the body or curing ailments. In addition other things in chlorella like amino acids also help to grow hair and the CGF does not have this. So it would be good to like get the one for $14.99 and maybe take one or two a day along with regular chlorella for an added boost. That's IF one wanted to. It's good info for someone who wants that extra kick of CGF but not as an alone supplement:
Swanson: Dr. Kanamori, what is Chlorella Growth Factor and why is it called Growth Factor?
Dr. Kanamori: Chlorella Growth Factor is a nucleotide/peptide complex derived from one of the fastest growing single-celled organisms on earth. When cultivated under optimal conditions, a single chlorella cell will multiply into 4 new cells every 20 hours, and it is the Chlorella Growth Factor that is responsible for this tremendous growth.
Swanson: So if one newly cultivated chlorella cell multiplies 4 times in 20 hours, what happens over, say, a two-week period?
Dr. Kanamori: I believe the calculation works out that from a single chlorella cell on Day 1 of cultivation to Day 14, two weeks later, approximately 67,000,000 new cells will have been created.
Swanson: And it is the Chlorella Growth Factor that is responsible for this tremendous growth?
Dr. Kanamori: Yes, the CGF promotes this rapid rate of reproduction and growth.
Swanson: Exactly how does Chlorella Growth Factor produce this high rate of cellular reproduction and regeneration?
Dr. Kanamori: CGF appears to enhance RNA/DNA functions responsible for the production of proteins, enzymes and cellular energy, stimulating tissue growth and repair and protecting cells against toxic substances.
Swanson: When you say “tissue repair,” is this how CGF can help humans who take Chlorella Growth Factor in their quest for better health?
Dr. Kanamori: Without question. CGF encourages the rejuvenation of the body’s own RNA/DNA; thus you will look and feel healthier. return to top
Swanson: Would it be safe to say then, that because CGF stimulates cell growth to the extent of 1 cell multiplying to 67 million in 14 days, that Chlorella Growth Factor, when consumed by humans, will greatly help stimulate cellular growth and repair in the human body as well?
Dr. Kanamori: Yes, that’s true. Because Chlorella Growth Factor enhances RNA/DNA functions responsible for the production of proteins, enzymes and energy at the cellular level and because many nutritionists believe the production of the body’s nucleic acids (RNA/DNA) declines with age, CGF is an exciting new health product that will help prevent premature aging.
Swanson: As you know, Swanson Health Products has worked closely with Kyoto Chlorella Company for over two years to produce the world’s first Chlorella Growth Factor. To your knowledge is this the first time Chlorella Growth Factor has been isolated and put into an easy-to-take tablet form?
Dr. Kanamori: Yes, this is the first time that Chlorella Growth Factor has ever been isolated in a pure powder form and put into a tablet. Swanson: If a person is already taking a chlorella supplement, would you recommend they stop taking it and step up to CGF? Dr. Kanamori: Because both whole chlorella and Chlorella Growth Factor have a different nutritional content and different health benefits, a person will receive maximum health benefits by taking both products, which is what I do on a daily
The CGF is 550 mg. Believe that's close to SN's.

Hey Trey21, When I upped my dosage to 6g I also developed flu like symptoms with aches, stuffy nose and all sorts. I was very weak. It lasted 3days and am feeling much better today. Lots of fluid also helped. So dont worry u are not alone!

Great idea. BTW you can also get empty capsules at wholefoods. Saw them the other day and was thinking what would I need these for?

If you all aren't the most brilliant bunch of women, no such thing exists!!
The capsules will be easier to digest because the powder is loose and not compacted like the tablets...
Yodie why don't you want to take aloe? I'm getting my dad on it and I take it too, its good for your inner parts....

All the credit goes to my hair growth buddy. She'll chime in soon.
I'll check out the empty capsules at WF. Thanks LDestiny.
AtlantaJJ, right now I MUST take aloe if I want bm's. I'd like to get to the point where nature takes its natural course and I have bm's on my own.

I felt tired when I took this much and then it went away. Then another time I felt nauseated beyond belief. I had my cycle the past three days and eating isn't anything that's ever on my mind. My stomach likes to be empty so I didn't take my chl these 3 days. Well, I took it again this morning, same dosage of 9-10 g and I felt some severe nausea. I'm wondering if the three days off had anything to do with it. I dont know whether to stick it out or decrease my dosage. I think maybe I'll just take 6 grams tomorrow and see what happens... It lasts about a whole day for me...

Hi Everyone
I went green about a week ago. My biggest struggle is keeping my pre-teen boys from drinking all the juice I need to mix with my green powders. Nothing worse than waking up in the morning only to find the last of your juice for mixing is gone. Does anyone feel my pain? What have you done about it? I hate to have to act a fool on them about something healthy as drinking fruit juices, but I need my CHL and Spirulina.

My daily check-in LOL
You guys know I should be reading my textbooks instead of the extra 10 pages about chlorella. But I'm really excited to see how everyone is doing.
I was hungry when I got up this morning and ate a banana, muffin, and cranberry juice. After that, I have not been hungry since. I made myself eat lunch and dinner. I usually am darn near starving by 12:30; today I ate around 2.
Last night, I took 3g of chlorella along with 8 oz of green juice. I am seriously considering taking advantage of the no appetite and following suit. I think I ate those meals out of habit.
Thanks so much ladies for sharing your experiences. I can't wait to hear the results.
