How about taking Chlorella?

[Jaxhair]

Just a quick one...

still green, still eating well and getting itchy scalp - now, how do you tell if the itchy scalp is a sign hair is growing or something else? I wash at least once a week on lazy weeks. Usually do 2-4x/wk. I hope it's growth, but... how to tell?

 

[Blaque*Angel]

I have already! I was just talking about personalized things that are too long to detail. I eat well, organic, whole foods, mostly veggies w fruit and chicken or fish and multigrains. I balance when I eat dessert, I won't eat other carbs. When I eat pasta, I will eat lots of veggies with it, I don't drink sodas, etc. Just the basics. Then chlorella can do the rest. And if you can just half what you're doing (that's how I started), you'll start dropping anyways. Meaning if you drink four sodas cut it to two, and so on until you get rid of the things that can cause problems. When I mean problems I'm talking unnatural processed in a lab foods. The body just doesn't function well with those and it will make metabolism even more sluggish. I don't think it's really necessary as chlorella teaches people how to eat right as your body craves less junk anyways. The rest is just tweaking stuff which I mentioned like a couple pages back. I don't believe in diets so to speak. The way I eat now is the way I'll eat forever. Meaning following some set plan is not for me. I am not a structured eating type of gal but that's because I have a love affair with food. I love trying new things, and I love good food in general. I don't see the point in feeling guilty when eating and don't think it's necessary if you just balance everything.. And I've never counted calories (gasp) and still managed to lose over 70 pounds so far. If you just eat right you don't have to really do that...at least that's what I've found. There's no way I'd walk around with a notebook, it would drive me insane! I have friends who love to count calories and it works for them, it just doesn't for me. I think when you know yourself, it also helps you to lose weight because you know your strengths and weaknesses better and that can help you to customize your eating plan.

yes, i read most of your healthy eating posts...but you told people to PM you for tips

Wow 70 pounds??? thats great

i think i need to lose 20 pounds, i did lose 30 pounds before i had both my babies but have gained about 20 back

My hair almost doesn't look like my hair at the scalp. I know that sounds odd. Its like...softer, laying down a little easier. Best of all, my nape is really filling in (I'm also apply a paste of MNitrate and CHL nightly) and so are my edges. I think its the CHL and nettle.

I'm definitely watching for your result with this!

started chlorella? yes, i've been taking it for over 3 weeks now i'm nearly on to my third bag, i bought spirulina too but did not like that taste,so sold it and bought 6 months supply of capsules

lol at olympic torch

How many grams of spirulina do each capsule contain?

I'm trying to find the best capsules that contains more gr's of spirulina to avoid taking 30/day to get a certain amount. I seriously cannot stomach the taste, i just can't! But I'm trying to find ways around it...I'm thinking about throwing 1 tsp. of powder down my throat -then washing it down with water. I dunno erplexed

I should've been more specific. I meant if you've hit a wall and need cheering on or a personalized tip. There's too much stuff to post. It may be something individual that I didn't cover here, that someone may have a question about and if I can help I'd be glad to via pm! Just like if you've plateau...I may be able to ask some questions like what are you eating, what are you doing, and perhaps suggest things that can get you over from my experience if I can of course.

Yup and counting as I have 20-25 more to go but I know I'll get there!

 

[luckiestdestiny]

Great post, I follow these principles too esp agreeing with the bolded. I loooove good food, its so wonderful that CHL is helping me to ignore and no longer desire suspect foods with no nutritional value.

I know what you mean. There really is no secret but good eatin'! That's why I love chlorella. I can add that and call it a day in addition to eating well, I'm covered for my vitamins and nutrients for the day. Plus it just keeps getting better.

My skin is so clear and unmuttled (really even skin tone) and I feel like my skin looks even younger if that's at all possible. It was doing well just with eating veggies and stuff. Not to mention the weightloss and hair growth. I do believe it's thicker if that's at all possible as it's already really thick! I do notice my edges, which grow slow, are really fast now (comparable to usually) and thicker (they were never really thin, but now they're amazing) I'm not mad at chlorella. I could kiss it.

Vitamin shoppe has one that has 750mg per capsule, its in a brown bottle for about $14.00...i didnt really look at the brand or all the details though but i think that had the highest amount ive seen as far as capsules

I will be purchasing chlorella this evening. who is not taking spirulina with the chlorella. I was also thinking about taking maka root. thanks guys. i hope this will work for me as well as it has worked for you.

JAXHAIR I got a reply from greenorigins:
Hi there,
I finally heard back from our chlorella suppliers, our chlorella contains 2.5g of chlorella grwoth factor per 100g. My apologies for the delay in answering your question.

 

[complexsimplicity]

Hey my fellow greenies! I am feeling great on Chlorella and I am at 7gs plus 4gs of Spirulina and growing. I feel so much better since I upped my water intake. I hate running to the bathroom all day though but it's worth the sacrifice. I still have some "eye boogers" in the morning but it has reduced. I have a good BM about 1x a day and tmi it's green....

My skin looks so good. I had had alot of issues since taking Biotin and wow it looks so much better now. I'm glowing and I noticed my skin does look lighter like Yodie said. It almost looks sunkissed My mood is lifted as is my spirit. Energy level is great as well.

Most importantly to me is the fact that my neck and back pain have not returned. What a gift Chlorella/Spirulina has given to me.

This is the best thread ever.

Hey there! My scalp is itching like crazy, too! I wash my hair once a week and it's usually enough, but I find myself scratching all the time... I don't have dandruff and my scalp isn't dry...so it's either growing or I'm so stressed out that my body is responding in its own way... erplexed

Boy that is a blessing if you have been freed from neck and back pain!!! My husband is always talking about his back problems so when he comes home from being deployed...GUESS WHAT HE IS GOING ON??? Glad you are doing so well, it gives me a lot of hope too!

 

[HairHustla]

ok, this is my third week and i had awful stomach cramps, so i did not want much water but hot drinks!!

not drinking water made CHL give me a small rash on my neck, i was dehydrated and backed up...

when i drunk water, i immediately went toilet and it was brighter green

but then the cramps re appearedso it felt i was going in circles...

CHL and water go hand in hand, but too much water can lead to cramps!!so i've began having three hot drinks a day and everything is ok now.

My nails look whiter, hair is sprouting up everywhere! i have a naturally smooth body but im now going to have to get my legs waxed for the first time! even my hubby was like "your legs are getting hairy!"

OK, Chlorella's made my nape grow in more hair, i'm not sure how to explain it but my nape has gotten lower!! my hairs all natural but the roots are very very thick!!! i like the tickness

i was asked if i used "eye wash" as my eyes are looking whiter, i never even heard of eye wash

i'm really looking forward to six months on this as i cant believe all these changes in just over three weeks!!

I will soon be right behind ya girl! I was telling LD that it is strange that I have only been on CHL and a small amount of SPR (spirullina) for 3 days now but my hair is soft after PROTEIN TREATMENTS! Isn't that weird?? Just to prove that I am not insane, (well not today) my daughter woke up this morning and was getting ready for school and she called me in the bathroom for me to touch her hair..it was super soft...what kind of stuff IS THIS?? It has only been 3 days!!!

Hi everyone! Checking in for my DD and DH. I started her on chl about 6 weeks ago. Her hair was wl (when streched) . Now the longest strands are TB! And, her hair is soft! No pics sorry! My DH has not had acid reflux since he started on chl either. I have also noticed an increase in energy in DH plus, he has been talking ALOT more...at night when he should be asleep. I think if he takes the chl to late then he is energized at night so, I have been trying to get him to take it during the morning. I need at least 7 hours of sleep... Sorry so long!

I forgot to add that I washed DDs hair with castile soap (peppermint) with a tsp of aloe vera ( plant) . Deep conditioned with Spirulina 1 tbs,1 tbs molasses, and giovanni 50/50. Her hair came out soft!

 

[cupcakes]

Does anyone know how many grams are in each tablet of source naturals chlorella?

Man that is wonderful about your family! I can't wait to introduce CHL to my family so far its just me and my daughter but right now after 3 days, my tomboy daughter can not keep her hands out of her hair! Your little girl is going to be looking like "She's Your Queen To Be"!!!!

Hi all,

I'm just updating. I've only been taking chlorella for about 2 weeks, this weekend I just upped my dose to a little over 1g from 600mg...I'm starting out slow! I also just started taking 500mg spirulina(earthwise brand) daily. Is there anything in particular we should be looking for as far as spirulina is concerned? Or is every spirulina brand pretty much ok?

My symptoms have pretty much gone away(the headaches, and that horrible feeling the first day), though I am still a little fatigued and still getting my bm's daily. I have noticed I have more bm's the more water I drink...I'm not really a big drinker in generally, especially of water. But I've been trying to drink a lot more than usual, I can notice the difference when I do.

I've been taking the source naturals yaeyama brand, and I was just looking on vitacost to see how much there's was but I noticed they had another kind of chlorella, as well as organic chlorella, is anyone taking these? I'll probably stick to the yaeyama, since it appears neither of those contain CGF, but just curious.

Finally, I mentioned in the last post that one night last week I felt like my hair grew overnight, I know my hair is still growing but I haven't seen another growth spurt like that yet. After my last hairwash on Sunday I noticed my NG is now SUPERSOFT. When I was washing my hair out I thought I still had conditioner in it because the ng was SO soft, I kept rinsing and rinsing and just realized that was just how my NG felt. I'm really liking that. Then last night I had a dream that my hair was super thick, full and long... maybe it's the chlorella...I dunno, but hope that dream comes true

Where my greenies at? Didn't want to leave you out of the discussion if you're not trying to lose weight. Chlorella has so many other benefits.

Is anyone noticing changes in their skin texture from internal use?

I haven't used any on my face but it's lots smoother.

What about your hair. Yodie, I believe asked earlier about changes in hair texture and I and mariofmagdal responded. Anyone else notice softer hair?

I've noticed both of these things. My skin is so incredibly soft now, my cellulite is starting to disappear, and my hair is really soft without product. Also, I put some chlorella in my conditioner and applied it topically to my hair yesterday when I rinsed it, it was really soft afterwards!

My hair almost doesn't look like my hair at the scalp. I know that sounds odd. Its like...softer, laying down a little easier. Best of all, my nape is really filling in (I'm also apply a paste of MNitrate and CHL nightly) and so are my edges. I think its the CHL and nettle.

My nape started filling in awhile back, but it was sparse and I never wouldve worn my hair pinned up. Its thickening up and filling in to where I would no longer be embarrassed to wear my hair up for fear someone might catch a glimpse of my nape. I've been praying over my nape for years. God always answers.

Another observation and maybe I'm seeing things, but I noticed that my hands look lighter than before. Maybe the skin texture has changed and they appear softer and brighter (no Michael Jackson changes overe here), but I can see a difference.

Anybody else?

My nape is filling in as well. I also noticed that my hair is thickening up drastically. My crown hair is starting to catch up with the rest of my hair. Finally!

ME! I'm only taking Chlorella.

To the original poster that was asking about who's just taking Chlorella..I am as well!

I know what you mean about the hair growth! From my kids tugging in my hair brushing and stretching, I think some of the longest strands reach tailbone. I was shocked, I was looking to get full-wl, but I am passed that.

My husband is really enjoying me, the re-juvenated day sleeper, I have so much energy from CHL/SPIR that I no longer sleep all day! I feel so great, it's incredible! GREEN is Awesome!

I've noticed that my skin is so soft and smooth! My roots seem softer than usual. I am natural, and I think according to the hair typing thing I must be a 4b . I can't tell yet if my growth (usually less than 1/4 per month) has increased. Can't wait to see what else chlorella does for me!!

I noticed my hands look younger. The skin is smoother and the pores on my hands are less noticeable. Even the color is even and brighter. I noticed these changes on my first on my face, then my torso, then legs, arms, and last my hands. I might take up hand modeling now. I am surprised because I always thought I would have old looking hands with dark knuckles, but not anymore....And about a week ago I wasn't sure if it was the Chlorella or a new soap I was using, but my elbows were peeling and the new skin underneath was baby soft and bright. The darker area was peeling away is small bits. Anyone else experience this?

ETA: A while ago I mentioned that I didn't realize that my hair had grown because my new growth was laying down when it never used to do that. It is soft and silky. My hairline still grows out but my crown and grows down now.

Your little girl is going to be looking like "She's Your Queen To Be"!!!!

Ha! It's so funny you bring this up!!! The other day, my bf said, "I can't wait til you get to 'Coming to America' lengths!" Uhhhh... hehehe Neither can I!

Oh, and update y'all! I'm loving this CHL stuff, and maybe even Spirulina! As you all know I've been detoxing and feeling just AWFUL! But there is light, for sure, because today I felt awesome. I felt beautiful, my skin is so flawless and my neck looks slimmer. I don't think I've dropped any weight (or at least I haven't been trying) but maybe it's water I was retaining? Whatever it is, I look and feel beautiful and I know CHL is the culprit.

I added 3 g of Spirulina in tablet form today and yesterday. My appetite was nil today and chocolate (what's that) could not tempt me. I tried LuckiestDestiny's method with the juice/water with my CHL and Spir this morning and I was the energizer bunny for the rest of the day. Didn't get hungry til lunch time and had no desire for bad foods. Go Green Team! Can't wait to see what else is in store for my body
