How about taking Chlorella?

[Wenbev]

These damn Whole Foods tablets are SO hard to swallow. Like they're big tablets and the edges hurt my throat. Can I just crush them?

Spirulina is so gross looking. It makes my smoothies almost black in color.

I would crush em. When you're finished with the WF brand maybe switch to source naturals. The pills are small like a baby asprin

I have been on 6gr for 2 weeks, now my green has started fading so decided to up the dosage.
From today I am on 9g

 

[danniegirl]

I currently take 80 tablets. 40/40 am/pm. I actually just purchased some powder though, going to give it a try.

oh gosh you are so dedicated how do you sort your 40 tablets and how long does it take to actually take 40 and with how much water

i have been taking the powder mixing 1/2 tsp with a single serving cup of apple sauce. It really is the worst thing i have ever tasted but this morning was the easiest time i had talking it i was just like look i am over gagging and im just going to do it and i did it.

gGo for it! but if you start feeling constipated, drop down and increase by a gram or so. Also up your water

Thank you! I've been taking chlorella for eight months regularly so I'm used to it It doesn't take long at all, the tablets are so small I swallow 5-6 at a time. I drink a full bottle of water 17 oz with chlorella. It is essential to drink lots of water! Maybe look into making fruit/veg smoothies and adding your powder to that. It will be hard to create a habit of taking chlorella if you have negative experiences. Please keep me updated and let me know if I can be of any other help!

40 tablets?!

I wonder which brand is the most concentrated? I'm still working through my Source Naturals Powder, but when I run out I'll look for something that's still effective yet gives you more in a smaller serving. I need to refill some capsules, I'll probably get a machine to fill it next time... Right now I just take some of the powder in my drink in the morning and then a few capsules at lunch.

LOL Yup, I take 40 in the am and 40 in the afternoon or dinnertime. SN seems to be the most concentrated from reading thru the old posts and that's what I'm taking. I am thinking to switch to the powder to see if its more economical as the 600 tablet bottle only lasts 7 days.

My SN powder is 1 tsp = 3 grams. The container is 16 oz but I've seen bigger. I don't remember the price since it was so long ago, but according to what I've read in this thread the powder is usually more economical. It's the taste and mixing that makes it less appealing than the pills. I guess I'll have to start drinking it in everything to get my dosage up.

16oz is the largest SN carries. Vitacost is the cheapest I've found SN products. SN carries 4, 8 and 16 oz of the powder. I'll try the powder in the smoothies I have in the morning. Hopefully it doesnt taste too green lol

I stopped taking chlorella for a week because the WF pills were hurting my throat (like tender and sore afterwards) and I'm no longer green! I'm not looking forward to detoxing all over again whenever this damn SN powder gets here

 

[g.lo]

I am loving this chlorella, i can't even taste anymore! Hubby and kids just gag watching me drinking my greens!

can you crush them while you wait? Maybe that help tide you over...

not sure if it is the green mix i have been using or all the healthy living i have been incorporating but my hair is doing pretty good. my hair is thick from root to tip. like when i would twist my hair the ends would look scrawny. but now its the same thickness from root to tip in twists. that i am loving.

i need to re up. i am getting low.

 

[Mahogony7]

I'm still being consistent with my Cholrella and Spirulina. My body hair growth is out of control. I use to have only one chin hair, now I have several and they are thick and long. I attack them with tweezers as soon as they come in. Sadly, the hair on my head has not grown. I'll be good and wait for it.

 

[danniegirl]

quick up date for me

i had to reorder my pill maker, i did receive the gel caps so i hand made enough for the week.

I did good last week and either drunk or ate my Chlorella every morning.

I started to go green after day 4 and i stayed that way until i missed just one day and i thought that was weird. then i went back green the next day so i dont know if i am really detoxing already or if some sort of dyes are being released.

very sad, this is handsdown the best supplement on the market, but I was about to grow a goatee. The hair on my head was growing faster and thicker than ever.

I've missed you guys!, glad to se that you're all still at it. Finishing up law school and moving back home (900 mile distance) completely threw me off my chlorella game, but I've kind of gotten settled so I plan to start back up tomorrow. I stopped taking chlorella about 4 weeks ago, so my plan is to start back at 6 grams divided into 2 doses, and figure out whether to move up or down from there. So glad to be back .

 

[Kilacurlz]

Update on my dad. He started on 2 g of the vitacost yaeyama chlorella about a month ago. He called to tell me the chl has drastically reduced his resting blood glucose levels. He went in for further bloodwork yesterday or today. I'll edit this if there's more to add from that.

I have not taken chl for about 3 weeks due to being sick and on antibiotics. I plan to start back up today.

 

[Wenbev]

Onhergrind09 great to hear about school and to see you back! Kilacurlz that's great to hear about your dad hope you feel better soon!

 

[Mahogony7]

I stopped being green two days agoerplexed I don't measure how much I take either. I was just spooning it into my water bottle. So now I have to really up my dosage. I also don't think I had any detox effects other than the thick and long chin hairs that I plucked. I go through Chlorella and Spirulina so fast. I spend 3 hours a week just crushing my pills into powder.

 

[Mahogony7]

Wenbev, how are you doing? You are always helping me out and I forget to ask about you. Sorry!

 

[LaidBak]

Amazed that this thread is still going strong!

 

[LivingInPeace]

I fell of the chlorella train for a little bit. But I jumped back on yesterday with 20 Sun Chlorella tablets(200mg each).

 

[Wenbev]

Mahogony7 lol no worries I've been doing some travelling for work and havent been on the forum as much!
Edited to add
Fell off chlorella for a about two weeks due to a change in my work schedule. Back on and at my original dosage of 16g.

 

[Phoenix14]

Finally got back on. 6g powdered Chlorella in my morning smoothie. So very....earthy lol

 

[mallysmommy]

Ugh i was really hoping this stuff would help with my cycle but its not. Last month my cycle went on for 8 days. My usual is 5. This month i wasnt supposed to start until thursday but got surprised yesterday. Smh my period is pretty regular and consistent. Chlorella is the only change ive made not liking its effects on my cycle. However i have been in a sew in for less than a month and the braids underneath are pretty loose. Cant wait to take it out and length check.

I'm taking 7 tablets now with the WF brand. The bottle says each tab is 500mg.
I can't wait to finish this bottle and take the powder like you ladies.
I'm not green yet but I'm going really slow anyway.

But when I DO go green, what will that mean? That my body has fully detoxed or something?

It will mean you have taken enough for chlorella to begin to work its magic
