How long have you been taking it: Since Feb 2009
How much do you take: Up to 9g per day (I'm veggie, I would prob take less if still eating meat)
Health benefits achieved: More energy, noticeably clearer skin, better digestive function, shorter lighter less painful periods, diminished sugar cravings, less sweating, almost non-existent body odour
When do you take it: In the morning with my WL shake, and right after lunch
Side effects: Bloating and gassiness initially, can't remember if I had other detox side effects when I started
How much hair growth if any: Not been measuring accurately and other growth factors (and setbacks considered), any length changes can't be directly attributed to CHL alone anyway, but thickness of my hair dramatically increased when I first began taking CHL
Other growth: N/A
If you stopped, why: N/A - Fallen off a couple times but now going strong

How long have you been taking it: - consistently about 3 weeks
How much do you take: started out with 3g, went up to 6g
Health benefits achieved: Healthier, glowing skin (and I have bad skin), more "regular"
When do you take it: -in the morning added to my WL shake
Pill, powder, liquid: Powder
Side effects: None, I don't think, but I did have a breakout after I increased, but I also made a couple other changes in my regimen, so don't know if it was the CHL or not
How much hair growth if any: Well, not sure, but had tree braids in and today is 3 weeks and my edges are a HOT MESS! I will be taking out today...could be partially CHL
Other growth: Eyebrows growing back quicker
If you stopped, why: -stopped the shakes for now because on HCG diet, but still taking CHL in water...will resume CHL in shakes AS SOON as I'm finished with diet

When you say you're taking a gram... how does that translate in pills?
I ask because most pills state they are "500mg" per pill. How many would I take or should I split one pill in half...confused just a bit.

Hi, 1000mg=1 gm. So if your pills are 500mg apiece, you would need 2 to equal 1 gram or 1000mg! HTHWhen you say you're taking a gram... how does that translate in pills?

1000 mg = 1g
so you'd need 2 pills of 500 mgs to equal 1g
OOPS I realize this was answered already.....ah well...

Sorry, tried to respond from my Itouch but I had tech. difficulties
Anywho, this is a first. Do you think this just may be a coincidence of you getting your period and the day before taking the chlorella? How much are you taking? I've never experienced this - though I do have irregular periods. Hoepfully someone can chime in on that.
So...is that the only thing that keeps you from taking the Chlorella? How about you start taking chlorella the same day you get your period...that way, you won't feel as if it's the chlorella doing it

How long have you been taking it: Almost 3 months
How much do you take: For the first two months I took 2 pills 3x a day consistently and got about 1.5inches of growth from it. I haven't been as consistent this past month but when my mom blowdried my hair today she said its made a huge turn around
Health benefits achieved: thicker hair, helped clear up biotin acne, helped with bathroom issues i've had my whole live
When do you take it: Whenever I remember. I try to do morning, noon, night but if I forget I'll take 3 or 4 at a time
Pill, powder, liquid: pill
Side effects: none that I could tell. the pills are kind of big which sucks when taking alot at one time
How much hair growth if any: about 1.5 both times I measured
Other growth: hair growth everywhere else. I gave up trying to keep my legs and lady parts completely bare. id have to shave almost every day to do that. so a bit of stubble is my new best friend
If you stopped, why: never
