How about taking Chlorella?

[ilong]

Wenbev - I will decide what to mix the powder in once I receive it and get an idea of the taste. I can assure you it will not be applesauce, as it is not sustainable - three times a day.

It will more than likely be some variant of juice, drink, etc. I may even consider sprinkling it in foods - if I can mask the taste.

Just11412 - that is great news! Improved skin is the one benefit I can see from taking all of my supplements.

ilong Let me know what you decide, I may try a small container of the powder. I just know that chlorella taste from the tablets are nigh onto disgusting if I bite one so I can only imagine what the powder taste would be like.

 

[Kilacurlz]

I don't mind the taste of the powder in my smoothies. I feel as if the fruits and veges mask the taste. I just taste bananas and blueberries.

 

[ilong]

Wenbev - I will definitely post updates.

Kilacurlz - thank you! That is good to hear. To be honest I was thinking about purchasing a "green" type of drink and added the powder to that.
My schedule(s) will not allow me to make smoothies 2-3 times - maybe once a day on occassion. Some ladies on another thread gave rave reviews about "Vibrance Drink" and it has chlorella in it already.

 

[Kilacurlz]

ilong I'm not sure about that one but Green Goodness by Bolthouse Farms has spirulina and chlorella, wheat grass and a lot more goodies and is very good. I stock up on these for when I don't have time to make a smoothie or to top off my smoothie if I drink some but not all of it.

I started up taking Chlorella again, I use the now brand. I started off taking the powdered supplement because I heard it was more economical but honestly...once im done with this batch I'm gonna by it in the capsule form. This mixing it in with my juice things isn't working for me, the taste is too strong and bitter and makes me loathe taking it along with msm and hairfinity.

Have you tried it with a smoothie or only juice. Mine mixes well with my smoothies but I'm afraid to try it with just juice. I would dump it out if it's nasty. I like it and also add wheatgrass, protein and a greens blend powders. I can taste the vanilla from the vanilla whey protein powder a little but not really any of the other powders. I wonder if it's because I also mix tomatos and kale with the fruit that the powders are masked... I use jarrow chlorella.

 

[Just11412]

I'm a thug! I takes mine with just water, lol!

can't be sure if its the chlorella and spirulina but my hair does seem healthier.

Yes I've heard of the green vibrance. Here's the website: http://www.vibranthealth.us/green-vibrance/product-pages/green-vibrance. It has 300mg/serving of chlorella. I was going to purchase but when I read through what's in it, some of the ingredients I can't have so I had to pass.

I either mix it with naked juice, which is a lot thicker than regular juice. Or I take the powder straight and chase it with juice. I would love to blend it up but right now that's not convenient for me.

I haven't tried the naked juice, but if you have some of the powder left, I recommend the Green Goodness by bolthouse. It's pretty thick like a smoothie and I haven't been able to taste the powder in it. I'm wondering if perhaps your powder has a stronger, more potent taste.

 

[ilong]

Kilacurlz - thanks for the tips. I will look for Green Goodness - is it sold in regular groceries or only specialty stores?

DanceOnTheSkylines - Welcome to the thread. I was hoping to see you over at this thread. (I saw you post on another thread that you are taking chlorella)
Please keep us updated on your progress and what is happening with you and your chlorella intake.

 

[Kilacurlz]

ilong I don't know if you have a Kroger where you live but I get it in the section where they have their soy and almond milk. I guess it's considered their natural food or organic food section.

 

[MileHighDiva]

They sell Bolt house Green Goddess in the refrigerated part of the produce section. Near the refrigerated salad dressings etc.

I'll try my best! I really just wanna finish this bottle so I can start taking the capsules. Let's hope I'll be consistent enough =]

 

[Chocolate_Silk]

Glad to see this thread come back to life!!! Ordered from Vitacost today. Can't wait for it to arrive!

 

[Kilacurlz]

I couldn't find time to prepare my smoothies for the day so I'm sipping on a bottle of green goodness with 4g chlorella added. Can't taste it. Also I'm taking 2g worth of the capsules to get my 6g.

Possibly TMI...

I don't want to speak too soon but I think this acne maybe trying to clear. I haven't had a new one pop up for a couple days and the others appear smaller. Got my fingers crossed. Still in search of this great skin early posters in this thread raved about!

so we will keep checking on your status to help you stay consistent. You do know this is the Chlorella support thread, right?

 

[ilong]

Alright now!!! chocolate Silk has checked back in on the chlorella thread. We will be anxious to hear of your progress also!!!

 

[ilong]

Kilacurlz - we are going to receive and believe that the acne that once was is no more!!!

I am one of those "early posters" who commented on how great my skin is. I still can't stop looking at it in the mirror. . I'm not vain - I am still trying to find the right word to describe my skin. Some have said glow, but it seems beyond that. Again, I want to continue to add that it could be a combination of all the supplements that I take,not necessarily just the chlorella.

Keep drinking that water Kilacurlz so you can tell us about your new "glow"

Haha yep, it certainly is! xD

I'm going to do what I did years ago and order some empty capsules to fill. I want to up my dosage but it's hard to take what I already do. Apple sauce works, but I can't be eating it all the time and taking it straight in water works I just hate the taste and end up skipping some days.

Where would you buy the capsules from? And how would you fill them? It sounds economical to buy the powder and capsules instead of the tablets.

I considered Amazon at the time but I think I found them in my little local health store place. IIRC, I wanted to see them in person to get an idea of how big the capsules would be and I think I purchased size 00. I just searched for empty capsules on Amazon and found a bunch of bulk listings for various sizes. Vitacost.com has them too You should check a local vitamin place or health store place if you're interested

They have devices to fill them (there's some kits that come with a device and the capsules) but I just did it by hand. I measured my dosage in a small container and then scooped one end of the capsule in it, sealing it with another. I was able to see about how many pills would be 3 g (1 serving for my brand) and go from there... It took time to do it by hand because I was careful not to waste powder so I just filled a small baggie in one sitting.

I hate pills and capsules; however the ones I ordered were too small. I think it was 5 for 3g. They didn't bother my throat but once I upped my dosage and had to take a lot at one time I wished I had purchased a bigger size.

Edit: Vitacost has vegetable capsules if you don't want gel ones. I'm sure Amazon has them too.

Wenbev - ditto classoohfive

Various sizes/type can be purchased at:

• vitamin shoppe
• mountainroseherbs
• iherb
• vitacost
• swanson vitamins
• amazon

 

[Wenbev]

@classofive ilong thank you I am going to check out the veggie capsules and the capsule filler. I think with the amount of chlorella I take, the tablets aren't as economical as am going thru a bottle with 600 tabs in 10 days.

 

[Wenbev]

Looky what I found! A capsule filler! I need to do a cost comparison to see if this makes sense with the additional cost of the capsules.

Checking in: I've been taking 6g/day this past week without any new issues. I am still dealing w/ acne, but for the most part what was there is drying out, so I'm hopeful that my skin will not only go back to what it was, but even surpass that.

I love that I do something great for my body every day, especially in light of the abuse that it usually takes . I see myself taking this for life, I'm so excited about seeing how improved my overall wellbeing will be 4 months from now!

I just had another experience, which I will call a benefit, and which I think may be attributed to taking chlorella.

Tonight for the first time in a couple of years I went dancing. I danced quite a bit and the dances were very fast and high energy - a lot of turns and spins. The last dance, just before I put on my coat to leave, was by far the most energetic. As I put on my coat, it occurred to me that I was not wet with perspiration - and I had not perspired while dancing the entire night. I did get warm but I did not perspire!!

It can only be the chlorella or spirulina - because I have been taking the my other supplements for quite some time and never had this type of experience.

I hope to go back dancing next week - so I will make confirm what I experienced tonight. Once I do I will be one happy camper - to be able to be active and not drip with perspiration.
