How about taking Chlorella?

[belle_reveuse28]

Okay, I have latched onto your dad via this thread. Is it obvious? Tell him that we're proud of his consistency.

My hair growth buddy made it in this thread. Welcome Sheba1.

Quick question. For some odd reason my bm's have gone back to brown. That was at 10g's. I've since reduced (started yesterday) to 6 g's.
I noticed that I was soo tired and hads a hard time getting out of bed yesterday and today.

Just wondering if my body needs more than 10 g's and if so, is the 6 g's that I reduced to just a teaze?

Do I stay where I am? Go back up to 10 or just increase it to 8 g's?
Still taking aloe. Maybe I'll have to for awhile. I'm okay with that. I have a lot of nast yeast. I've been seeing some of it come out. Thank the Lord.

Any suggestions?

Oh... The chl paste is working. Evening up dark spots already. Gonna take awhile, but I can see a difference.

BelleR, I'm your Hulk twin.

Hey Yodie, I've heard LD consistently say that when people's BMs would go brown or not turn green, that it's not enough CHL, or their body is using so much of it up, therefore, an indication that your dosage isn't high enough. I'd step it up to 8g tomorrow, and then if still no green, back up to 10. I'm taking 9 right now... That's good you are seeing the yeast leave your body. I've never had a problem with yeast, and I've had only one infection my entire life and it was because I used someone's soap on a trip and it tore me up! LOL I know, crazy but true. I guess Im pretty balanced in there...

I need to take some pics of my scars so that I can see the lightening effect. I've been using my lotion every night after I shower. I do the paste only twice a week for my face. But Im going to mix some CHL with my Cetaphil cream and see how that works. I cant use this mask everyday cause it's kinda strong. I'm glad to have another Hulk twin! LOL!

Is anyone taking the Vitamin Shoppe Super Chlorella brand and having good results in either hair growth, weight loss or just overall health? I bought this brand and want to make sure its as good as the others...

Since February 2nd I've been taking the Vitamin Shoppe brand of Chlorella. I started at 2 grams and have been at 8 grams for about 2 and a half weeks. Here is what I have noticed so far:

• My muscles feel tighter
• I keep getting compliments on my skin
• My nails are growing quickly, stronger and with white tips
• My hair seems to be growing faster (all over)
• My appetite grew tremendously at the beginning, but the last 2 weeks I have not had any cravings (could have been because I was underweight)

I went through the detox: headaches, neck aches, fatigue, a "cold". All of those symptoms have passed; that's when my appetite regulated itself. I noticed the benefits a few days after starting Chlorella.

 

[kitamay]

I still can't keep up with this thread anymore. I miss when it was like 10 people in here lol! Well anywho,,,,, my questions that didn't get answered was that I've been pre-mixing my Chlorella a day or 2 in advance. I'm wondering if that's ok or if the Chlorella needs to be fresh. I want it to work like it should

I am having trouble keeping up too.lol

I don't if your question has been answered yet, but I know when we get those drinks like green goodness and green machine, chlorella is already in there. Of course, nobody is drinking it the same day it was mixed if it has been sitting in the grocer's fridge so I can't see the harm.!? Correct me if I am wrong ladies. Just trying to help you in your premixing decisions.

 

[sunshinne368]

So I spoke with some wrkers at Whole Paycheck (Whole foods ) regarding stool and taking Chlorella and Spirnulla. They stated that initially you will have green stool, and it is perfectly normal to return to brown/green. They also don't recommend taking more than the required amount stated on the label nutrition intake! I am currently taking 2gm of Chlorella and 1.5 grams of Sprinulla, which they said is a good amount, if you are getting protein from other sources. What do you ladies think?

 

[sunshinne368]

Oh yeah I've lost 18lbs in one month from taking multi vitamins, flaxsee, omega 3, garlic, chlorella, spirnulla, and Acai concentrate (100%) juice. I also only consume 1500 calories per day, and exercise (mostly cardio for 1 hr) 5-6 dys per week! I am very proud ! I was at my biggest (209lbs)! I've never weighed over 200lbs ! So being a nurse I know that my next step will be DM, HTN and then a heart attack...My goal is to lose 60lbs! Has anyone had the same effect? Also ladies I am a night shift worker, the combo of acai berry, chlorella, and spirnulla is better than drinking coffee! I was up to drinking 4-5 cups of coffee per day, now I don't drink any! I just miss the taste!

Wow Sunshinne!

18 lbs? That is tha truth girl! It gives me some hope when I start the chlorella and spirulina but as for now I am on omega 3,6,9, cla and I add flaxseed to alot of the foods I am eating. I am 204 now down from 207 and up from 198 (hubby visited during R&R) The only problem I have is consistent exercise so now that you have inspired me, I can't wait to get my "greens" and get going on my own 18 lbs! Oh for the missing coffee taste, maybe you can try sucking on some Werther's Original hard candies! Goood Gooingggg!

Wow, Sunshine! I am wishing I were you right now. So I've been working out since like Jan 7. I"ve only lost about 8 lbs. I do a lot of weights as well, so I've gained quite some muscle mass, but I dont feel like I've lost as much as you. I'm taking all that you are, except for the Spirulina and Acai berry juice. I consume less than 1500 cal daily, usually about 1300. CHL has really reduced my appetite and I dont eat much, when I do, it's steamed veggies and 4 oz of fish or chicken. I was at 210, I think, when I started this, I am now down to 200, I think. I have to weigh myself again... I need to get some more flax oil as well. Where do you get your 100 percent Acai berry juice, and how much do you consume daily? I am working out about 5 days a week, doing a very hard 1 hr workout.
You are really soaring with 18 lbs in one month! I wish! I have dropped a pants size though. Some days I feel like I'm going nowhere.... You have inspired me to keep going, even though I'm not loosing as fast as you are... Any advice?

As far as what the lady in the store told you, I consider it hogwash. With all of the PDF's and info LD has found about Chlorella, you can take as much as you want becuase it's a whole food and not a supplement. So if you want to take 1-10 grams, or 20 if you wanted, you could. I feel comfort when my BMS are green because I feel that lets me know I'm getting what I need. Something LD posted said that if your BMs are brown, then your body needs more CHL, and when you see green BMs, that means your body has more than enough... Someone chime in if I'm wrong... So I'd rather trust the medical articles that have been posted all confirming the info here, rather than waht someone at the store says... that's just my 2 cents.

 

[jeabai]

Had a one of those weekends where whatever could go wrong did go wrong..Car trouble, furnance trouble, toddler trouble and my normally over stressed and high strung DH?? Took it in stride! He was cool calm and collected! I've had him on 3g's for a little over a week now. My DS and I were a little afraid and kept asking him if he was alright, cuz he freaks out over everything. So yes, I'd say CHL helps with stress and regulates mood!

 

[BrandNew]

Hi BrandNew, welcome! So your friend has been taking it for a while? What results has he/she seen?

Hey Muse, she told me about the detoxing benefits and she said for sure her energy level has increased.
I'm going to get the Source Naturals Yaeyama Chlorella and Spirulina from Amazon.com.

 

[IndianAngel22]

I finally read all of the pages I missed! I HAD to read/finish in one sitting...took a LONG TIME though (just finished a few minutes after 3:00 AM ). There is so much useful info. in this thread. I have to admit I am a bit afraid to take chlorella capsules now....I DO NOT want to experience nausea and I definitely don't want to get sick. Now, I am still taking chlorophyll and it's only one capsule every time you eat...I only experienced bloating and it went away after a couple of days. I am interested in using chlorella for undereye circles and childhood scars--thanks for posting about that LuckiestDestiny. Anyway, the capsules should be in the mail by the end of this week. I will start the green powder (which has chlorella, spirulina, and probiotics among other things) today in my green shake.

Psh don't be afraid of the detox. It was peace of cake. And you probably won't even think you're detoxing you'll just be like man, I have a headache today.... Man I think I'm catching a cold. And then it'll all be over and you'll say wait? I was detoxing?..........At least that's what happend to me.

Hey belle_reveuse28! Thank you so much and for the advice! I may increase both super foods! Well I use the Acai berry juice from whole foods! Its by Genesis Today! I consume 2 ounces per day on a empty stomach! Wow 1300 calories per day! I need the extra 200 for snacks ! I also only eat fruit in the morning right before my work out (with a yogurt and ground flaxseed.). I am going to look back and review some of the information on here! I wish you luck in your future weight loss! I began Feb 2!

 

[msdevo]

Sorry ladies, I had to let the powder go(selling it in the exchange forum)

I placed an order for the pills last night, hopefully I will have them by the end of next week.

 

[Juliagizzle]

Well, this is the third day of chlorella. Unfortunately I have had this horrible cold and its wiping me out. But I have had the chlorella powder in a smoothie, in water, and in orange juice. I actually don't mind the taste, it looks worse than it tastes. I'm having it in orabge juice at the moment. I can't really eat much of anything so I figure its the best way to get some nutrients while I'm sick. Boy oy boy is this stuff green! Any food this naturally green has got to be good for you.

 

[Blaque*Angel]

I have just bought via ebay.... 5 months supply of chlor and spir!!! All certified organic, the chlor is cracked cell wall and it's free P&P and cheaper than buying at the health shop! Thought I'd buy enough to last me a while whilst the prices are low and P&P is free. It's another brand - Green Origins. Seems reputable, so here's to patient waiting!

Maaaaaan, 2009 sure is the year to get me sorted out healthwise. I've learnt so much and I feel so much better and I'm sure my body and hair will show for it wonderfully come end of this year - can't wait! So excited!

Will report back on these when I start taking 'em.

Still taking mine regularly, and we're green all the way! Shrek would so be proud of me, lol!

please post the ebay link

[Dare~to~Dream]

Okay, I did not take the green powder and I may hold off on the chlorella for now simply because I woke up this morning feeling like I was coming down with a cold again! I felt this way last week but that was due to the colds going around at this place I *work.* I just started taking a liver purifier (I'm trying to get my body ready for the *hair growth* pills-among other minor ailments I'd like to get rid of) and I'm wondering if this is one of the effects or am I catching that bug that's going around again...Hmm. Another thing, that I'm a little concerned about is the fact that I do not go to the bathroom often and I know you are supposed to but to be honest I hate going. When I do start with the chlorella (like full stream), I suppose I am going to have to pick up some Smooth Move tea or something to make sure I go once a day. *Sigh*

 

[Muse]

Please post that link in her today so I can bookmark it.

I again apologize for being so drive-by-ish I have a lot of work going on with my project at work.....

I'm still reading though.

all the new people who are just starting out!! I got my dad on this and next I'm working my son on to it, he's 11 just think of all the benefits he will reap. My father is 74 and he is reaping benefits too!!

Sorry JJ, the last couple of links to PDFs I reposted had broken links for some reason. I need to find them again but as soon as I do I will give them to LD to add to the 1st post. I had one that was really good and easy to read too I usually do my searching at work when I have down time but I was too busy today. I will have time this weekend though so I'll go digging around and see what good info I can find.

I am having trouble keeping up too.lol

They also don't recommend taking more than the required amount stated on the label nutrition intake! I am currently taking 2gm of Chlorella and 1.5 grams of Sprinulla, which they said is a good amount, if you are getting protein from other sources. What do you ladies think?

LOL! I know that's right!

No, there have been too many studies to show that taking either is perfectly fine. I take 18g between the two algae. Maybe if you just want general upkeep you follow the doses on the box but to see possible disease clearing results you must take way more than the box states. Which with all these studies makes me wonder why these companies don't suggest taking more. A legal thing perhaps?

 

[LaidBak]

I didn't see very much in the way of results from taking Vitamin Shoppe Super Chlorella (4gs a day). I've got 2 more days worth and then I am starting on Sun Chlorella. I surely do not want to take 15 pills of anything a day, but the pills are so tiny that I guess it wont be that bad. Maybe this brand will have more of an effect on me.

 

[luckiestdestiny]

This will get you 5% PD93MWB6

Thanks. BTW welcome Sheba1!

 

[luckiestdestiny]

So today was the first time I used Source Naturals chlorella, and let me tell you the difference is tremendous. Originally, I was taking NOW-Chlorella and I decided to switch in order to get the CGF. Source Naturals is much more easy to mix with my juice, and it tastes a bit stronger in a subtle way. (if that makes sense?) I can't get over how well it mixed with my juice whereas the NOW-Chlorella still had lumps and grooves in it no matter how hard I shook it lol. I'm very pleased with SN, I hope it benefits me even more than NOW did.

Interesting. Maybe that's why some people don't like the taste, and others don't have a problem. It's possible that the taste varies per mix. I've never had a problem with source naturals. I'm glad you find out what works for you.

 

[luckiestdestiny]

Girl, get that paper done... That's most important! Also, I sent you a PM of some info I forgot to add... Pretty much all that info has come from the articles you posted. Thoose are the things people really need to be reading. I dont think I'm talented or anything, but when I come into long threads like this, I find it easy to skim over comments like the "thank yous" and other things that aren't really relevant and can find what I need. Hopefully some of our newbies will be able to do that, or anyone else that gets overwhelmed. It's basically speed reading and then your brain automatically chimes in when it's relevant info.... For newbie's reading this, try it, it really works. Don't focus on reading every single post, just skim down teh page, your brain will tell you when you see something relevant and important to read because eyou already have in mind what you're looking for. It works very well for me. HTH

Just popped in to see how everyone's doing. I WILL be getting it done, hopefully wrapping it up soon. I'll post when I put the starter kit at the beginning. Thanks for the suggestions for newbies.

I think both you and muse are on the right track. Mixing it isn't bad, but letting it sit around for days eventually I believe the nutrient content is going to diminish. Yes it's okay, but we want the highest nutrient count possible. Who knows how the different juices "acidity", etc dissolve the powder. So I think it's best to mix as needed, but if you can't, do not let it sit for more than a couple days.

Oh yeah I've lost 18lbs in one month from taking multi vitamins, flaxsee, omega 3, garlic, chlorella, spirnulla, and Acai concentrate (100%) juice. I also only consume 1500 calories per day, and exercise (mostly cardio for 1 hr) 5-6 dys per week! I am very proud ! I was at my biggest (209lbs)! I've never weighed over 200lbs ! So being a nurse I know that my next step will be DM, HTN and then a heart attack...My goal is to lose 60lbs! Has anyone had the same effect?

Good for you! I have a goal of weight to lose too. When I was given radioactive iodine and my thyroid was destroyed, I also ended up in the hospital because they gave me waaay to much so it caused other problems: heart, etc. My thyroid is now .0001 percent active because of the amount that I was given. It was highly unusual as rai usually just lowers the thyroid and you have to take synthroid, but in my case it completely destroyed it and caused other problems because I was walking around with zero hormone in my body for over a month. I almost had a heart attack and had other heart complications happen because of it (cardiac enzymes were off the chart) We're talking lawyers it was so much. Unfortunately as it was a teaching hospital through my school at the time, there was no way to sue for the damage, but they did try as I had to take a medical leave from school for years. That month that I was in the hospital I gained about 30 pounds eating dietician food! So my metabolism was shot to heck. In addition, the medicines I was given (not just synthroid but stuff to help with other functions that were thrown off) caused more weight gain. I had never been over 123 in all my life at 5'5 and all in all in 3 months I went to 229. They say it's impossible but it most certainly is. By the time I recovered I had to learn how to adjust to a new body and a doc who said my metabolism was so shot I'd never lose the weight. Fast forward to the way I've been eating since Sept (and before that on and off diet for a year), I've managed to get myself down to 166.. And now let's talk about chlorella, I was averaging 8 pounds a month weight loss just eating right before chlorella but now I'm down from 166 in January to 149 1/2! This stuff really works wonders! Yes I already found the keys to balancing my body by eating right, but chlorella kicked it up another notch. I'm quite certain I can get to the 130's by the end of march or early April with chlorella! I've never tried the acai berry or Spirulina but I just may try. I think there's some spirulina in my green drinks that I take sometimes but I've never tried for more. I don't work out as often as I'd like, but I do walk around a lot and try to walk up and down stairs instead of taking elevators. I also started yoga but it's only once a week.

I think we're all going to see some really good visible changes from taking chlorella.

 

[kitamay]

Hey gals, I am checking in. I see that a lot of women on here are losing weight, but I am scared. I am 5'3" and weigh about 120lbs and I already am one of those people who can eat whatever and not gain any weight. (not a brag, my grocery bill is extremely high) My metabolism has seemed to have sped up way too much. I mean I am starving all of the time. To the point where it seems like I haven't eaten in days and it has only been an hour or two. I thought I was going to pass out almost everyday this last couple of weeks. What to do?

 

[luckiestdestiny]

Wow, Sunshine! I am wishing I were you right now. So I've been working out since like Jan 7. I"ve only lost about 8 lbs. I do a lot of weights as well, so I've gained quite some muscle mass, but I dont feel like I've lost as much as you. I'm taking all that you are, except for the Spirulina and Acai berry juice. I consume less than 1500 cal daily, usually about 1300. CHL has really reduced my appetite and I dont eat much, when I do, it's steamed veggies and 4 oz of fish or chicken. I was at 210, I think, when I started this, I am now down to 200, I think. I have to weigh myself again... I need to get some more flax oil as well. Where do you get your 100 percent Acai berry juice, and how much do you consume daily? I am working out about 5 days a week, doing a very hard 1 hr workout.
You are really soaring with 18 lbs in one month! I wish! I have dropped a pants size though. Some days I feel like I'm going nowhere.... You have inspired me to keep going, even though I'm not loosing as fast as you are... Any advice?

As far as what the lady in the store told you, I consider it hogwash. With all of the PDF's and info LD has found about Chlorella, you can take as much as you want becuase it's a whole food and not a supplement. So if you want to take 1-10 grams, or 20 if you wanted, you could. I feel comfort when my BMS are green because I feel that lets me know I'm getting what I need. Something LD posted said that if your BMs are brown, then your body needs more CHL, and when you see green BMs, that means your body has more than enough... Someone chime in if I'm wrong... So I'd rather trust the medical articles that have been posted all confirming the info here, rather than waht someone at the store says... that's just my 2 cents.

No way, you just keep going and you'll get there. I know when I was at that weight, I felt the same way. But 8 pounds a month times 12=96 pounds, and I know you don't need to lose that much , but I just had to do that with mysefl. For instance if you want to be 130-140 we're talking 7-8 months. One day it clicked. I thought to myself where will I be a year from now if I don't do anything, wishing I had at least lost something even 4 pounds a month in a year is 48 pounds! You're going to get there. I also think each person's body is different and you may be dropping fat first, and not pounds. You said you're toning up. It's going to get there, I know you'll make it if you don't give in. If we're motivated to eat right and take our chlorella, I know we'll keep chugging along to our goal. FYI I lost 50 pounds before I was even cleared to exercise from my Doc because of the heart stuff, from changing my diet just a little. I wasn't even eating organic then I just slowly cut down sodas, then other items, until my body weight dropped. Then finally in Sept, OCT I completely overhauled my diet. So I KNOW it can be done even with a change of diet and zero exercise (although everyone should exercise if they can). It seems like forever, but months from now you'll be grinning away at all you've accomplished.

BTW I agree with your accessment about the store. Chlorella's a wholefood, you can take as much as you want. No one says stop eating salads. It's just about the amounts that makes you comfortable when you and also increasing so that you detox properly. In addition, there's the guidelines provided in that article earlier depending on what's going on to help people decide how much to take.

EAT. You'll be fine.None of the others are wasting away. Only those overweight will lose. Chlorella is making you crave certain foods, go at em! You have the metabolism for it (how I remember those days before radioactive iodine!) Get some fruit and cheese for in between (make sure if you do start eating fruit and cheese that you cut down on the juice drinking, and do the whole filtered water thing I mentioned to water down your juice. You don't want too much fruit even if your metabolism can handle it).

Hi Yodie! Glad I made it! Whew! Took me a couple of days to make it through this whole thread. Learned a lot, though. Thank you all for your insights. And a big thank you to LD for kicking off this green journey. Really great, thank you.

My Jarrow Yaeyama Chlorella arrived from Vitacost today. I'm very excited! I have to say, I really don't mind the taste. It reminds me of a super green product I once took that tasted better and better the closer your body came to being alkaline. Has anyone tried dissolving it into the amount of water your going to drink for the whole day? This is how my Mom drinks her chlorophyl, and this might make it easier to get down for some. The taste isn't as strong and the slight sweetness of the Chlorophyll comes through.

Good to be green, guys! Now let's get our best and healthiest bodies ever and some great growth, to boot! This is soooo cool!

Well, I think I may be finally getting some detox symptoms. I don't know why I was anxiously waiting for it to show up, it's horrible, lol. I've been feeling really nauseous and my stomach has been rumbling and gurgling a lot the past couple of days. My skin is breaking out a little, but nothing major. I'm still doing 6g and plan on staying at that amount for awhile. I still need to take my second dose of Chlorella tonight, but I feel so nauseated that I'm not looking forward to it.

Im going green tonight!!
All the oil pulling has made my face crazy so I'm going to put straight chlorella powder/water paste on my face and try to sleep with it on. I will report back in the morning. My guess is either, my skin will be flawless in the morning or... it will look like pizza just depends on whats going on.

Are you taking it with food? I take mine with a meal (as the directions say on the Source Naturals) and I haven't had any nausea at all. Try taking it with food if you haven't already. Food like...well...a whole meal and not just a piece of fruit
