Powder is quickly digested because it's already broken down and you don't have to swallow so many pills. I read on a site that suggested people taking pills to chew them (yuck) so they will digest quickly.
How about taking Chlorella?

Just as a heads up, I tried to order the source naturals 16oz power with the Coupon Code and it didn't go through because the order has to be $50 and up. Shipping came to $8.95.
I'm going to order from vitacost.com because it says they will only charge $4.99 same price of $28.55 for any size order, same day shipping if before 2pm Mon-Fri. I will give an update tomorrow.
oh and if you google vitacost coupon, you'll get a free shipping coupon code
I love going away for a bit and coming back to see this thread blow up even more!
Ok so I couldn't wait for my source naturals powder to get here so I went out and got some Sun chlorella pills to tide me over. I have a rheumatology appointment coming up later this month and I want to show at least the slightest progress so I can hopefully prove to my rheumy that conventional meds aren't the only thing that works. He is a non believer. Only thing I have experienced so far is bloating and restless sleeping-I am tossing and turning a lot now. No energy for me yet but I suspect my body has a lot of toxins to get rid of from my normal meds alone!
Ladies I also want to add: I use to get multi vitamin injections at my docs office because I was depleted in everything and she said that since I was so depleted taking regular vits just wasn't gonna cut it until my levels were back to normal. I needed it to go straight into the bloodstream so nothing was lost in the gut. Anyways I would go every week and because of something in the concoction I got a warm sensation in my body as she injected. The longer it took me to feel this warm sensation the more depleted my body was of vitamins and minerals. Eventually after about a month and a half (6 injections) I began to feel it right away because my levels were back to normal.
I said all that to say if you don't experience the wonderful side effects right away it could be because it is taking the nutrients to where your body really needs it (internal organs, cells, etc.) and the hair and nails is one of the last things your body thinks about nourishing when something else is undernourished. The body is really good at prioritizing. If you don't see longer hair and nails right away and you don't have the best diet don't get discouraged give it time. It could be that your body is filling a need elsewhere and when that's done it will move right along and you will see the results. The good thing is that chlorella works FAST and even if you don't see it in a week you will see it soon if you are consistent. Those who see it quickly most likely already have a pretty healthy diet. Like LD has said she eats well and has already done a detox so she is reaping the benefits quickly because of her healthy choices before hand. HTH

So I've been taking Chlorella for the past couple of days... and the taste of it reminds me of something my mom used to give to me when I was younger, and my hair was always healthy and thick... and I was very healthy then too. I'm on this health trip right now and I do notice that my nails are growing back stronger and faster. Last week they all just broke off but they are growing back at a pretty fast rate. I take one heaping tsp of chlorella twice a day mixed with orange juice and a tsp of silica, I don't mind the taste and this is DEFINATELY a keeper

To the bold, that is true. I eat pretty healthy, and yes I eat junk, but in moderation. It does work quickly, as I posted about my strength of my nails. I haven't checked my hair yet. I'll check it in 2 more weeks because at the time i'll be at the 4 weeks mark.
Just want to tell the lurkers lurking this thread, don't sleep on chlorella

How does it taste?? I took biosil with OJ for a while last year and it was very bitter but it worked.

I am taking the pills. 10pills is 2 g or chlorella is the recommended dose. I started taking 15 pills for 3 g of chlorella this weekend. I stayed on the 10 pills for about 8 days. I did have some gurgling this morning but I also took magnesium before bed.
TMI ladies but I have officially "gone green."
Someone mentioned the cuticles? I had a problem with the one on my left thumb (it peeled for some reason. happens every winter) and I just looked at it after reading what was posted. It was almost completely healed up! My nails have grown out even faster than usual. Last week they were down to the skin (I'm a biter when I get nervous) and now they have enough nail to get sauce under as I eat.
I'm up to 10...No effects. Upping the water since I don't wanna break out...and I need it anyway. Still good energy.
~*Janelle~*
I am glad you have been getting good results. How long have you been taking the chlroella and what kind are you taking? I just started taking mine this past weekend.

Wow so I definatly have to update you all on what happend today. So first of all I had the hugest BM ever! TMI I know but whatever. Anyone else noticed this? Second of all, this morning I had to eat breakfast and I forgot. There was a kitkat in my bag so I ate it. My body IMMEDIATELY rejected it and I was in SO much pain I had to leave my classroom. I overheated and passed out in our hallway. Upon waking up I got some cranberry juice and drank that, laid down some more, and then got one of those little lunchables with the crackers and turkey. My body took to that and the pain subsided. I don't know if this is an effect of the chlorella but it made me never want to eat candy another day in my life. It SUCKED!!!!
Also, when is the best time to take it. Night or day?

My mom used to be a health freak when I was younger so I'm used to taking not so great tasting stuff
lol. It's doesn't taste GOOD but after the first two or three times I just got used to it, it beat taking pills anyday which I despise.

lol I know what you mean. My great grand ma used to make us take homemade cold remedies. They worked but had a very ungodly taste.
So which goes to prove that the best things for us taste HORRIBLE!!!

These foods probably only taste horrible because we've become accustomed to eating so many processed foods. My tablets smell like grass, but I'm gonna start lovin' me some grass.

Everybody can't take it and your body might be rejecting it. I don't think you should be fainting!

Damn at the bolded. I was worried for a second there. Glad it wasn't more serious. Well I guess it can be concluded that the chlorella is working? Way to let you know that you're not supposed to be eating junk. How long have you been on chlorella?

Yes this is true. Detoxing shouldn't cause you to faint. Sometimes it's hard to tell if your body is detoxing to quickly or if it just can't handle the chlorella period. I hope everyone here who tries it can tolerate it. Maybe you should cut the dose a bit.
That is how I feel except I don't feel like I have to go just really bloated. Someone gave a review of Source Naturals chlorella where they mentioned Sun chlorella made them really bloated and they moved to Source Naturals and they didn't experience the bloating at all. Are you taking Source Naturals?

Yes, I'm taking Source Naturals tablets. I'm at 2 mg's today. Wondering if I should increase it or stay where I am.
I've also been taking iron supplements and aloe supplements to help me "go." I'm backing off the iron today and allowing my body to adjust. Maybe the chlorella will have that natural effect, but I think I may still need to supplement with iron.
I was able to go to the bathroom somewhat. Nothing worth mentioning, but it's really dark (TMI). I know that's the iron.

I take my powder in the evening.
