What's your dose? I'm thinking the dose matters too...but it's something I think we'll all tweak!

So how many inches a year do you grow with your regimen?

I agree. I'm adding the chlorella for the health benefits as well as the hair growth. It seems to have so many wonderful benefits that I just can't resist. Along with the fact that it has lots of nutritional value.
But I am also definitely PSYCHED to find out what happens with my hair too!
I may have missed this in the thread, but is anyone taking spirulina as well or just the spirulina, and what the effects are?

You know what, I'm going to find out a year from perfecting my regimen. I started my eating right thing sept ish, and nettle October and around that time my growth took off over an inch (mth). We'll see. Right now since then I get the same amount of growth, and on months when I haven't eaten as well (still try to do the nettle, etc) I get 3/4 inch, on months when I'm on target over an inch. We'll see what's up with the chlorella whether it's quality or quantity (addition).
I'm hoping to be WSL fast and as of Dec I'm a little over an inch past MBL. So I'll report when I become WSL so people can see what's going on and how fast.
BTW I'm braided up or I'd measure now, but I know that I still got at least an inch since my last measurement as my braids were super loose and I pulled them up to eyeball the amount of growth. I am a natural. I plan to stay braided until I get to wsl, so that I don't do something drastic like chop out layers. I want to get to wsl and then knock into the layer thing.

I take 1 teaspoon which is 3g (3000mg) per day.
When I first started, I nearly cringed! Now I mix it with apple juice since it goes down easier and it's not so hard to taste it!

Great. THat's how much babydollhair is taking. After reading the article that I posted about how much you can take a day, I believe on page 11 o so of this thread, I upped mine a little more as I wasn't having any problems w/ constipation or diarrhea (as I know to lower the dose and wait until my body adjusts if this happens).

Page 11?! I have 6 pages because of the 40 post per page!!! I'll search through the thread again. lol
I think i'll up my dosage sometime this week. Just like you, I haven't had any problems.

I have spirulina in my green drink but no more than that. I didn't bother as I want to simplify and chlorella has more benefits than spirulina (which of course does have a lot in defense of spirulina). I haven't noticed any effects.

I know I posted a link to where you could get some tablets cheap for source naturals. I'm also posting this link after doing research for myself. I thought I would re order pills but as I realize I'm adjusting my dose, it only makes sense to get the powder. W/ juice or juice and water (mix that I make to have flavored water), my green drink is not noticable and I'm assuming chlorella is the same. Some others said this earlier in the thread.
With that in mind, if you can stomach taking the powder like I can, here is a link to the cheapest I found online. IF you find cheaper please post. I'm just giving you all all the info I have. Vita cost has a 16 oz source naturals yaeyama powder for
$28.55 That's for 5 months at 3 grams or less depending on how much you use. HOw many other vitamins can say the same? I know I've spent more than that in the past on vitamins last year before I had enough and started eating better.
That's for 151 servings at 3 grams per serving (serving is teaspoon). At 3 grms that's 151 days worth of the product and that's a steal. Even though I've upped from there, I know to 1/3 a teaspoon is about 1 gram, so for each extra gram, that will be how much I'll use to decide what to do. You can't take too much so there's no risk of overdosing. The only reason to increase slowly is to just see how your body handles it (if you are detoxing too fast). Please see earlier in the thread to read about that. You just cut back. It's no big deal.
Here's the link:
https://www.vitacost.com/Source-Naturals-Yaeyama-Chlorella-16-oz/pd_section-pr
It actually should go to the 16 0z if it doesn't just put in Source Naturals Chlorella into the search and scroll down to the 16 0z one

Ok, my step-mother gave me a bottle of Bernard Jensen's Chlorophyll with Mint a year ago for health purposes and I am just now looking at it seriously.
Here is what I have:
8oz
Description: Bernard Jensen's Chlorophyll extracted from alfalfa. A food supplement to be added to regular diet. An Isontonic solution supplying per 15ml (approx. 1 tablespoon) 70mg of pure water soluble chlorophyllins. Chlorophyll with mint is a mineral rich supplement, which has been suggested to assist with tissue repair, blood purification, red blood cell building, tissue healing, and internal deodorizing with a refreshing peppermint flavor.
Ingredients: Chlorophyll (extracted from alfalfa)
Other Ingredients: Water, sodium chloride, peppermint extract (alcohol, water, pepermint oil), chlorophyllin copper complex (from alfalfa leaves Medicago Sativa), methylparaben, propylparaben.
Suggested Use: As a nutritional supplement, one tablespoon in a glass of water or juice two times daily, or as directed by your doctor. As a Refreshing Mouth Wash: One tablespoon in one half glass of water
I wonder if I can take this instead of Chlorella and still have the same benefits as Chlorella?

I'm still up just about to crash and noticed this question...Sorry hon but no. Chlorella has chlorophyll in it but that's not the reason for the rapid growth. The rapid cell turnover is because of the cfg (chlorella growth factor). Check back in this thread for more. Chloropyll is great for detoxing the body, though so it should help you to get rid of environmental stuff. However, chlorella already has chlorophyll in it, so if you purchase it, you can get your fill of chlorphyll that way.
It won't hurt to finish the bottle.

Thank you LD you and this thread are a tremendous help. I will be buying Chlorella probably next month. I just realized that my bottle of Chloropyll is 2 years expired.

So the higher the CGF or rapid cell turnover will increase hair growth? I'm doing as much research as possible about this product.

Yeah, I know what I love about this food is that it has overall health benefits in a powder or tablet form. I don't have to eat 20 bowls of greens and peas per day. This is what I've been looking for. If I could get 1-2" a month of hair growth, glowing skin, increased energy, and regular movements you couldn't tell me nothing.

I'm going to get the powder too. I think I'm going to have the powder one day, and the the pills the next day until I'm finish with the pills, just to see if there is a difference.
I will report back when I do.

LD, you are a phenomenal woman. Thank you for the info. I am going to buy mine as soon as I possibly can. All the benefits make it impossible to just discard it.
Again thanks.
Again thanks.
Signing on! I have been reading these posts for a few days now (and the info LD posted). I am very interested in this because besides the hair growth I am on some pretty nasty meds for autoimmune disease. Unlike my rheumy I do believe there are natural alternatives to help my condition. I would like to take this to see if it would help me taper down my meds and of course I will be watching for the hair growth as well
Hey, I found this.... http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/id/QAA400160 ........YOU MIGHT WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE LAST PARAGRAPH . THIS IS A POSSIBLE CAUTION ABOUT SPIRULINA !
