Okay that settles it. I GOT to do this tonight!

I have been so focused on getting my internal situation straight NOW I can focus on my masks etc. I just wanted to stop the breakouts. That's done. I must say in spite of the breakouts, the marks they are leaving behind are not that dark so I don't have much to do to fade them. That's a plus!

Blaque, I second Mario in congratulating you on your one month chlor anniversary! Fab stuff happening there but the chest hair . You got me inspecting my chest now... I've always had some facial hair which I really don't like a tweeze as soon as I can..... can't deal with more in unusual lady places. I think the Spir will help with energy too. Mine's off the chain! !

lol, i pulled the 2 strands of hair off my chest with a quicknessi pray for NO MORE!!!!!

I had so so much energy the first few weeks, but not so much now...i'm not tired, it just feels like my body is recovering from the stuff i have been through in the last 15 months.... 2 pregnancies, 2 babies, near death experience, emergency op, lack of sleep etc etc

I agree with the posters in this thread that the CHL works really well when you work out a little, do some walking or other activities and drink plenty of water. That makes the difference for me and my energy during the day.

I really feel awesome. This morning I was thinking I feel like a new person. I feel energized. I usually feel sluggish and tired in the mornings. I used to feel wiped out and exhaust on the way home from work in the evenings. I want to do a happy dance. I am green for life. I just need to figure out how to get my family green.

When you figure out the family secret to getting them GREEN, please pass it along, I am right there with you! I only have the 3 kiddos on it, hubby, son, and mom are next.

Hi Friends - I have jumped on the train to Chlorella-Land -

I just bought some Earthrise Chlorella - Just wondering - is it still okay to take hair vitamins (Maxi-Hair) and flax seed supplements while taking the Chlorella - or is that too much?

Last question(s) - are all the aforementioned Chlorella brands noted above (with the exception of the powder) require taking larger quantities or is there one out there that has a "serving size: 2 tablets maybe 3 max?

Sorry if this has been asked and answered!!!!

TIA -

I am still finishing up my supplements until they are out. Although there probably is no real need to do so; I may continue on a select few of them until I have completed at least 6 months on my new regimen so I can see where I am with all of this. So far, it's easy being GREEN!

Welcome! I can't speak for you about the tablets as mine required more (source naturals) and I focus on the powder unless I have to take the tablets (on the go). I think that you should look at post 2 of this thread. I pasted the nutrients in chlorella. They should cover all your nutrient needs but if you want to take more, there are those that do here. Flaxeed is different, and you may want to take that but it's up to you again.

I was wondering about both those questions. I stopped taking my regular daily multivitamin because I thought it might be overkill. I mean some stuff just gets flushed out of your system if you take too much so it would just be a waste. Maybe I'll alternate daily until the old supplements run out.

I have taken the big 1000mg pills (Super Chlorella). And currently I am taking Sun Chlorella which are the teeny tiny pills (15 pills per serving). I cant imagine them making a pill much bigger than the 1000mg one. I mean, I think you pretty much determine what your serving will be. But I think 3 of the Super Chlorella (3g) is a respectable daily amount.

I take 15 tiny pills, 3 times a day for a total of 9000mg a day. What a pain! I am thinking of going back to Super Chlorella and taking 1 pill every hour that I am awake. Maybe then it won't feel like such a chore.

 

[CurlyMoo]

I've increased my dosage to 5 teaspoons. How many grams is that? And how do I know how many grams I'm taking for future reference? Thanks.

 

[CurliDiva]

Something weird happened the other day - I took my chlorella powder in the a.m. while working from home and ate light breakfast.

By the time I went my lunch appointment, I felt SICK to my stomach.

I barely made it to the restroom before I started VOMITING!

Needless to say I didn't TOUCH any food until that evening.

Did I make the mistake of eating with my dose????

I usually take it at night before bed.

if youre taking the source naturals chorella powder i think 5tsp is 15 grams because it says approx 3g for each teaspoon..it should say how much each tsp is worth on the back of the container of whichever brand you take

Pam, I have read past this post 3 times and didn't realize none of those times you were addressing me!! I'm such an airhead... Your poor baby over there suffering all cuz of me...

The chlorella, I mixed about 1 gram of it with some Cetaphil lotion and rub it over my face at night along my body as well.. Another amazing thing that stopped my skin from being dry is emu oil.... I order it from ebay from a lady called Ginny's Cajun Emu Farm... It's like 20 bucks for an 8 ounce bottle. I use it religiously all over my body, and have done so before the chlorella.. I tmakes my skin feel like silk and it's very smooth and lovely... I also take flax oil.... ! TBsp daily does the trick.. At the end of the day, I can wipe my forehead or my face, adn see it on my hand, and so it definitely translates through the body, through the pores, to the outside of the skin keeping it moisturized and supple, without dryness..

Someoen was telling me that because we tend to grow up on so many processed foods etc, adn foods that have been stripped of their nutrients, even our grains etc... that we lack omega's in our diet.. the proper fatty acids... And so in animals that are only fed certain types of feed, and usually lacking omega's, that the animals have eczema or develop it. I wish I could say this all more eloquently, but I'm tired and sleepy... my thoughts are running all over the place..
Anyways, because of eating processed foods,t he animals too develop eczema... So basically any diet lacking omega fatty acids makes a person prone to eczema.. When I take flax oil daily, I have no problems with flare ups and my skin becomes a dream..
HTH and makes sense.

You answered my question about my dry skin before I asked it. I wanted to know if chl would help that. Processed foods is probably the culprit. Since I've done chl, I've started eating more raw veggies and not so much meat.

We had chicken wings tonight and I told my baby, that's it. We are going to eat more healthy. Her first example starts at home.

Thanks for the tips about eczema.

Month One Update...

My skin feels very smooth, My eyes are whiter, I do not feel hungry, My stomache looks smaller and my incision scars from my emergency operation in December feel funny, they completely healed hard but now they feel smoother?

I notice even if I do not consume as much water as I should Chlorella has me going toilet A LOT!! Maybe I'm loosing water weight? My body feels firmer, Like it did when I was going to the gym daily!

Also my energy has greatly decreased, I crave sleep!
I get my full 8 hours at night but then nap in the day?
I'm usually the type that can manage on 5 hours sleep a night!!

Hair growth, my new nape is thick and bushy I have noticed a few strands of chest hair!!! I have had to get my legs waxed for the first time in my life!!

I added Spirulina about 8 days ago...

Me too. I'm am sleepy all the time, but I think it's a symptom of detox, right? I need to get the spirulina. I think someone said it gives energy.

I think the CHL is a perfect complement to flax seeds. I think of flaxseeds as a food not a supplement. CHL is food as well. So I look at it like this, would I give up collards because I started eating spinage? I like taking flax every day because it keeps me good an regular. I suggest that you stay on it because it's a good source of fiber. The CHL is not high in fiber.

I don't think you made a mistake. I only take mine with food and I've never even felt queasy. Now on the other hand if I take, for example, a multivit on an empty stomach--dry heaves are always the result.

I TOTALLY keep forgetting that chlorella is a food and not a supplement.

 

[AtlantaJJ]

I TOTALLY keep forgetting that chlorella is a food and not a supplement.

It's easy to do because its in a powder or tablet form. I started thinking of other foods that would complement the CHL because as wonderful as it is, it's not the end all be all. Even while taking higher amounts we still need fresh fruits and veggies for bulk and fiber and we need protein. I eat almonds every day because of the fiber, I have flaxseeds in my morning smoothie and I do a protein powder either soy, hemp or whey. Then I'll have chicken, fish or tofu for my additonal protein. I don't think I have had beef since I've been on the CHL, I haven't had any desire for it at all....:scratchch

I haven't taken a multi since I've been on the CHL, but I still take other herbs as needed.

 

[Pam Pam]

Is anyone craving salt? I am craving salt all day. I have been drinking only water these past few days but the desire for salt is unbelievable.

Does anyone have explanation of this?

 

[Dare~to~Dream]

Vitacost offered me a *replacement* order or a credit since it seems that my original order was "lost in transit." I accepted the credit...so I won't be starting Chlorella anytime soon. I'm still taking Chlorophyll which is enough for me and I am going to take the green powder (which has chlorella, spirulina and a whole bunch of other good stuff) soon.

 

[silkii_locks]

Hi Ladies,
Just wanted to ask if anyone has thought about juicing to take the powder form. I mean juicing fresh fruits and veggies and mixing the powder in with that. My mom does this just about every morning minus the chlorella. She's made all types of potions for me and they really give you kick that lasts all day. Her mixes usually contain cucumber, carrots, celery and she may add an apple for sweetness and even sweetpotato for thickness and creaminess. But the possibilities are endless, you can add broccoli, squash, spinach pretty much anything except bananas because they have no juice. And Ladies it really doesn't taste half bad, but that's beside the point it's the benefits that were interested in, right?

So I was thinking that this would be the perfect thing to mix with the chlorella, you get all the servings of veggies and fruit needed for the day, it would be cheaper IMHO in the long run and what can be better than freshly juiced veggies and fruit?

Unfortunately I won't be able to start the juicing right away b/c juicers are loud enough to wake the dead and I don't think my roommates would appreciate that @7a.m., but I'm going to be moving within the next few weeks so I'll start then. But if there's anyone interested I'd love to hear about it.

I thought Super Chlorella was 1000mg not 1000g ??????

You might try the powder form. I drink it with Naked Juice's Green Machine and I love it. It was strange at first but I really enjoy the taste now. And the pain from my pinched nerve is gone for 2 weeks and counting!

I'm so happy for Chlorella. She changed my life forever. Mom and Dad started 3gs today.

When you put it that way should we look at chlorella as a meal replacement or snack maybe? Should I reduce my calorie intake?

Agreed they're both foods. CHL actually does have fiber. You have to check out page one, the second post of this thread for all the vitamins and nutrients provided by chlorella. However flaxseeds are good for you so please introduce them if you wish!

You have to do what works for you. Take it the way you normally take it. Then if you have more problems, you might have to reduce your dose. Another issue, could just be a stomach bug...something that you ate that made you sick.
