Mmm...I have to say that I think Earthrise brand is some of the best. Compared to NOW, Earthrise is like the cream of the crop. I say that because they are a specialty company. That's their focus and they take great care to offer a variety of superior options to people. It's sort of like Spectrum and Health From the Sun who specialize in essential fatty acids.
I think that chlorophyll is great for your entire body, including your hair. Kal also makes a good supplement for everyday purposes. It's 20mg which you can chew or swallow. I've been taking this for years. For chlorphyll in particular, I would frankly stay away from tons of alfalfa. Check out what Dr. Weil has to say about why at his website. He was an early warner. I don't even eat the sprouts any longer which I used to adore.
I've taken chlorella which treated me better than the spirulina. Spirulina left me wired. Chlorella, spirulina, etc are all foods. That's why you can take as many tablets as you like. The worst side effect is that you might have to run to the bathroom a bit more. Details left unwritten. With the chlorella, 2tablets of 300-400mg were plenty to get some 2" of growth per month months.
You might also try eating a mixed greens salad. I would highly recommend the Earthbound Organics bagged salads which come in varieties like Romaine baby greens, Fresh Baby Greens, Herb baby greens etc for a daily, immediate source of chlorphyll plus a variety of nutrients like potassim, magnesium and trace minerals like silicon which feed your hair tremendously.

Thank you so much Jade21 - this is great information! I'm going to have to check out that Kal brand of chlorophyll.
I used to grow alfalfa sprouts in the past and stopped when I too learned of the risks. Since I eat raw sunflower seeds all of the time, I just sprout those as the person said on Dr. Weil's website. I take six 500mg of Earthrise spirulina tablets each day and have absolutely no feeling of being wired. I think it's how much one takes.
So Jade21, does that mean the chlorophyll I have, World Organic, "organically grown from Alfalfa Leaves" is toxic for my body? What is the source of your Kal cholorella chlorophyll if not alfalfa? I too want 2 inches of hair growth each month!
Edited to add
Is the Kal Chlorella the same as Kal Chlorophyll? Which one did you take Jade 21 for your hair results?
