I need to get back on this. It was doing my body right.

 

[NorthernCalGal]

I was dedicated to taking this back in 2010. I really need to get back on this. I had my bottles on autoship from Amazon. I stopped when I was pregnant and let my hair take the backseat. I've been taking it here and there lately. I need to start again. I took the powdered form from Source Naturals. About 3-6 grams per day. Here's my before and after back then. From April to December 2010. The only other thing I took occasionally during this time was Phyto hair vitamins.

I don't know if it does anything for my hair, but it helps keep me regular and my skin in check.

Huh, I stopped taking Chlorella for a while and ordered last week. I received it and noticed they changed the servings from 3g (15 tablets) to 2g (10 tables) a day. I wonder why...

 

[sissimpson]

I stopped taking Chlorella because I ran out of pills and didn't feel like reordering. That's been about six weeks ago. In the past couple of weeks, I've noticed increased shedding. This week I restarted Chlorella.

I went back to my original love from circa 2007. Liquid Chlorophyll. I couldn't handle the pills or the powder. I just take a shot of the liquid mixed with juice.

I took Chlorophyll before, it actually has a pleasant minty taste.

Um...minty aint the word I'd use lol. I combine it with Essential Woman liquid oil and vitamin blend with juice. Its a little gross but it's much better than ruining a whole smoothie with powdered chlorella. Oh...and I've gone green from taking 1 tblspn a day

Can any users comment on how its been using chlorella long term?

 

[Mahogony7]

Chlorella just helps to keep me regular and that's about it. I have never noticed any changes in the way my grows or weight loss. Just healthy bowel movements.

When I was a regular taker of this, I had great skin and did not have the inertube I have now around my middle.I can't explain it but chlorella reshaped me... I should have never stopped! Down side is it made me sleepy in the begining as I detoxed. I started taking it at night.

 

[Kmonae]

Hey everybody, back in 2012 i started taking the green foods brand chlorella and it was amazing for me as far as my hair growth and energy and my body never looked better. I dont remember why i stopped taking it but i found the old bottle recently and googled it to refresh my memory.. Thanks to this thread i will be ordering the jarrow formulas 1000g yaeyama chlorella with 950mg cgf.. Cant wait

JollyGal - For absolutely no good reason I had slacked off taking chlorella and spirulina. But a couple of weeks ago I "ran back" to my vitamin cabinet and started taking them again. I just got so busy and 1 day miss, lead to missing 2 days, etc.I had been taking both daily since January 2013.

Benefits: no joint pain, regular bowel movements, energetic, beautiful skin, since of feeling clean, healthy nails,

Feeling lethargic is common with detoxing. It should only last a day or two. However, you may want to research taking chlorella (or spirulina) at night, before bedtime. They are high in protein and protein is converted to energy - as a result you may be up, wide awake and feel energetic f you take it too late at night. I try not to take any after 6pm.

I started Source Naturals chlorella after researching adrenal fatigue/burnout. It fits all the ways I've been feeling for about a year now and I even started feeling hopeless like I couldn't cope and didn't know why. (Super stressed, super fatigued, brain fog, weight gain, non-coping, overwhelmed, absolutely zero relaxation, always doing for others and I'm always last on the list, if I make the list at all!)

So I started taking 1.5 gm Sat and am now up to 3 gm. I "went green" on day 2. I'm definitely feeling the detox symptoms of a sinus-type headache and instantaneous acne! I have about 6 little pimples on my face that look similar to ant bites. Weird!

I'm hoping for good steady results!
BTW, I take it straight, no mixing.

Thanks for posting this. I just ordered chlorella and spurlina and intended to take them in the morning.

On 10/16 I moved up to 4.5 gm divided thru the day. I am noticing a desire for only 1 cup of coffee and way less sugar in it (less than 1 tsp). (I was up to 4 cups of coffee daily with about 3 teaspoons of sugar in each!) I'm noticing clearer, more refreshed looking facial skin, including under my eyes. Under eye area appears fresher and more open.

I'm also noticing that around 9-10pm it feels like bedtime. That's a huge difference for me considering I usually go to sleep between 11:30pm and 1 am. I'm waking up peacefully, not jolted or dragging, if that makes sense. In other words, I'm not waking up feeling stressed right off the bat like I've been feeling for a very long time.

I'm putting forth more effort to be calm and not let things bother me, to let things roll off my back and to pray more. I'm trying to incorporate daily peaceful walks. All this is needed for the adrenals to recover.

Chlorella and my own efforts are starting to pay off. I'm so grateful. I knew I couldn't continue like I was for much longer and be the wife and mother I needed to be. I'm posting all of this for any who suspects they may be in adrenal fatigue/burnout. It's only been a week and I'm seeing huge improvements.

meka72 - you are more than welcome. Be sure to monitor your total self after you start taking C&S. I suggest this so that you will see how they benefit you. For me these are 2 supplements which I KNOW have a positive affect on my health and appearance, immediately.

As mentioned several times, there is a "detox" period and you may not feel so good. Skin may have break-outs. First cleansing BM will amaze you. I mention this because my experience was so significant, I was a little afraid, until after it completed and I felt "renewed".

HappyAtLast - glad you are doing and feeling better. Maca, chia seeds and
psyllium husk are also excellent. You may want to research "superfoods" and see what foods you can boost up your diet with as well. You know the ol' saying "an apple a day keeps the doctor away"? That's because apples are superfoods. . Two other very popular superfoods are broccoli and sweet potatoes.

Thank you ilong coincidentally, I took psyllium husk this morning and bought 3 different varieties of apples today. Ive been craving them which is highly out of the ordinary for me! Ill check into the other superfoods too.

You are welcome. If you keep this up you are going to see a totally new you very shortly.

I've added to annoying papules (large bumps) for several years. One on my leg and one on my arm - not sure what they were or how they came about and the dermatologist was NO HELP in answering the questions.

Well I noticed earlier this year they weren't as pronounced as they had been. As mentioned upthread I slacked off taking chlorella and spirulina (C&S) for a couple of months. Well since I've resumed my C&S I've noticed they are not as raised and appear to be fading away.

I do take HSN supplement which may be contributing to the papules diminishing - but I believe it is the detox properties of the Chlorella clearing them up. I experience smoother, clearer and Improved skin from taking it (them) and other have reported the same.

I'll continue to monitor their progress and provide an update beginning of 2015.

Just thought I would share

@Wenbev are you still taking chlorella?

 

[Wenbev]

I am Ms. ilong, I will never stop taking chlorella.

 

[ilong]

Wenbev - how many grams are you taking daily?

 

[Wenbev]

Wenbev - how many grams are you taking daily?

ilong I don't take as much as I did in the past; now anything between 6-10g daily. I eat much cleaner now which keeps the gut balanced.

How much are you taking these days?

 

[ilong]

Wenbev 7g of each (spirulina and chlorella).

Bumping this thread... there is so much great information in this thread that shouldn't get lost in the archives.
Also, I had great hair growth the last 6 months in 2013 and didn't realize it until long after the fact. I recalled taking large doses of Chlorella and spirulina at that time, so I searched for this thread to confirm. I was taking 21g of each. <lol> through the course of the day. Both of these supplements are high in protein.
