Why do you guys suppose companies don't list all of the vitamins and minerals that are in chlorella on the package? My bf and I were sitting around wondering this. I am looking at my package and according to all of the articles I've read chlorella contains WAY more stuff than what's listed in the nutrition facts. I suggested to my bf that it was because the list was too long but he said other multi vits have long lists. Any ideas?
I have no idea. One site listed carbs mine doesnt, but when you read about chlorella it says that there's a minute amount of carbs like 1 per 3gms. So I think they list what they think is the most important. Go figure.

OK Ladies, I'm freaking out!! I ordered my Chlorella the other day.......and I just got an email talking about its on backorder!!!!! I'm gone kill them over at VitaCost if they don't send my...... you finish the rest. I was attempting to be very patient, tell me I'm not tripping, please.
This happened to someone else. To me, I got mine today but ordered it Thurs 2 day service. So they were still 2 days (business) behind with me...wonder if they'll give me my shipping money back or is that too much to ask!

I'm sure it'll resolve quickly.

I decided to give myself a month before I really look for results. I've never had regular bm's, so to expect to be regular in one week is probably more than what I should expect.

I'll say this though, if Chlorella makes me regular to the point I don't have to take Aloe pills.... no tellin' what I might do over here. Maybe I'll buy Chlorella stock.

No strong nails for me, but it's soo easy to get up in the mornings. I wake up now before my alarm clock even rings.

Reporting in, I'm now at 7 grams working my way up to 9 by this weekend on Sunday. I'll probably increase to 8 Fri and if all is still well to 9 on Sunday.

So, first there were zits and now those are gone. Then there was the "faux flu" complete with sore throat and now thats gone! Im at 7 and Im going to hold there and increase to 10 eventually. I think I will go up a gram every 2-3 days depending on my body.

I think you should absolutely ask for your 2 day shipping money back considering that you got it standard delivery. :nono:

Nails first two days. Energy after the first week, and skin too (no bumps, radiant, etc). However I think that I can safely say the benefits of nails and skin will happen AFTER the detox effects are over...whatever they are.

Did someone say they felt immediately sleepy? I thought I read that amongst the many pages here. Well I know we can't take it with caffiene, confirmation of this for me is it knocked me off my feet today! I took my supplements earlier this afternoon, and while running around afterschool with my kids I grabbed a sweet tea at McD's well I could barely drive home! Granted I live in the country and it takes me 30 min to drive home from the nearest town but man! I was so drowsy! Really I slept heavy for the past 3 1/2 hours with very vivid dreams. Side note I work at night and had already slept all day! So I was shocked to have this reaction....be careful with the caffiene intake.

energy right away, nails after about 3 days, skin after i pushed to 2g (third day) but I got zits, clear skin around 5g (fifth day maybe?). Lol, my farts started stinking on the first day, bout knocked me out. But I didnt see green poo until I started taking 5 and more. You should be going for nice, easy, and green. not too soft, not too painful, sorry TMI but you asked:blush:

greenish poo also after 5 ish, but more like 6 for me, and still not like super green or anything like that. I think it depends on how your body processes it. And just because you see green poo doesn't mean that you should stay at a low number. Refer back to the articles for different health problems, and also seeing significant change in your body. Not only do I want great health but I want significant change (hair, nails) so I'm upping it!

OK, reading this I now know why I've been so sleepy. I had a day off this week and I slept 14 out of 24 hours. Insane! I get my 8 hours of sleep but I have the nerve to be sleepy at work! This never happens. 8 hours is all I usually need. So I guess there is my side effect--sleepiness. And I don't drink caffeine.

I know in my episode it was the caffeine, but if you take other supplements that also provide energy like a b-complex or b-12; combined they could cause a calming/relaxed/sleepy affect, too much causes the opposite affect.

Yep, I just started taking a B-complex to replace the biotin I had to stop taking. I hope this wears off. I am at work sleepy right now.

I'm thinking that you guys with this effect are just exhausted from detoxing. Your body goes through a lot in that process, and it needs rest. Maybe your body needed a break just to catch up with everything.

Fatigue is one of the detox symptoms and that can manifest in many ways: just feeling tired, or probably the sleepiness.

I take:

Fish Oil
Biotin
B-Complex
L-Cystine
Vitamin C
Evening Primose Oil
Flax Seed Oil
Horsetail
Aloe Vera Juice
Liquid Multivitamin
:look:



Should I stop taking all the others now since i'm taking Chlorella?

It's really up to you. You should go back to the list of ingredients that I provided and others added to. For instance Omegas are in there and that covers fish oil, b complex is in there (when you get to a higher dose of chlorella you could stop taking that), vitamin c is in there, all the amino acids including L cysteine is in there, Flaxseed also has omega and so does chlorella, it balances the body which primrose does, the liquid multivitamin you may as well call chlorella a multivitamin that's not a vitamin as it's a super food it has better qualities than any vitamins as it can help the body better (read article I posted about vitamin vs superfood), not sure about horsetail, biotin or aloevera. Assuming you're taking those for hair growth and we already know that chlorella does that (or will do it with time). Aloe vera also regulates the system (#2), but we know chlorella does that too. Also unlike biotins forever breakouts, you may only break out when chlorella cleanses the body, but then it's silky smooth skin city (and I can attest to that right now.). So anyways I could safely say I'd let go of them, only if you wish to. I'm not taking anything else. I eat veggies for vitamins, and take chlorella for vitamins, and then eat my seafood (and sometimes chicken) so that's all folks! I really just like simplifying. It gets exhausting trying to keep up with so many thing that just don't do anything.

I know I posted part of this earlier but just wanted to post the whole thing. For other vitamin mineral stuff, view past article posts on this thread. Because the same questions pop up: Should this be your only vitamin, does it count as a vitamin, what exactly is cfg. IT also contains some cool stuff about why it's actually SUPERIOR to MEAT PROTEIN. Who knew. That does NOT mean to stop eating meat if you eat it, it just means, that the body processes chlorella better. It also gives more info on other good stuff like curing disease, easing symptoms, etc :
http://www.watershed.net/ch-faq.aspx#26

What nutrients are in Chlorella?

Amino acids (protein), enzymes (including pepsin for digestion), vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates. One could easily live on nothing else. Along with Spirulina, it is one of the world's more perfect and powerful foods.

How much protein does it have?
60% of Chlorella is protein, which is in the form of amino acids.Chlorella contains 18 of 22 known amino acids and is considered a complete protein, meaning that it has the essential 8 amino acids. It is a far superior protein source to others such as meat, fish and eggs because these are secondary protein, meaning that the amino acids have already been formed into protein to become the flesh of an egg or another animal. When we eat a food such as meat, our bodies must first break down the protein into amino acids then reform them into the proteins that our body needs. This is inefficient and not nearly as effective as simply taking pure amino acids to begin with.
The human body wants to form long complex chains of amino acids into the tens of thousands of different protein structures the body needs to perform functions all over the body. However, if one amino acid is missing, then an incomplete protein will form that will not function as effectively as a complete protein. There is no other natural source of protein available that provides such a complete and balanced array of amino acids than Chlorella and Spirulina.
Will Chlorella give me energy?
Yes. As the body begins to get these pure nutrients that it must have to function properly, increased vitality and energy will certainly follow. Spirulina is also a very potent source of energy. A gram or two of Chlorella or Spirulina in the morning will provide the body with lots of energy. However, unlike sugar, caffeine or other "energy pick-me-ups", Chlorella and Spirulina do not lift you up then let you down soon after because they are not drugs of any sort. They are pure nutrients. They last much long and since they are pure nutrients, there is never a let-me-down or "low feeling" afterward. This is also true of Ionized Water.
Should a person keep taking vitamins once they start taking Chlorella?
It would not hurt to keep taking multivitamins with Chlorella, but in our opinion multivitamins are not needed. Chlorella and Spirulina contain a wide array of vital vitamins, minerals and enzymes and yet are much more economical than most vitamins.
Isn't Chlorella just another form of vitamins?
No. Chlorella is a whole-food, very much unlike most commercial vitamins. While it contains a wide array of vitamins, minerals and enzymes, Chlorella is superior to vitamin supplements in many ways, one being that it is natural and the vitamins and minerals in Chlorella are bio-chelated, which means they are naturally wrapped in amino acids so the body will more readily take them in. Vitamins are nothing more than an amalgam of concentrates and extracts that have been artificially stitched together because on paper they look like they should provide balanced nutrition. A whole food such as Chlorella provides the body with a stunning amount of nutrients that are naturally balanced, can NEVER accumulate in the body and become toxic and therefore are far superior to any man-made nutritional formula.


*****What is the Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF)?
*****The CGF is an amalgam of RNA, DNA, amino acids, vitamins and minerals whose exact properties have not yet been identified. In children it promotes rapid growth; in adults, it builds their immune systems while promoting rapid tissue healing, both internally and externally. It also strengthens our body's ability to recover quickly from strenuous exercise and even disease. The CGF is central to Chlorella's amazing ability to heal the human body and is what makes Chlorella THE most powerful whole food in existence.

How does Chlorella detoxify the body?
Chlorella has an indigestible outer fibrous shell that must be broken open in order to get at the nutrients and CGF. It is this fibrous outer shell that actually binds with heavy metals in the blood to pull them out of the tissue and bloodstream. This detoxification of heavy metals and other chemical toxins in the blood will take 3-6 months to build up enough to begin this process depending on the dosage of Chlorella a person is taking. It is also this fibrous material that greatly augments healthy digestion and overall digestive tract health.
As previously discussed, many of the health problems that face the elderly today, including dementia to Alzheimer’s Disease can be traced in part to the accumulation of toxins and heavy metals in the body and brain, as well as chronic lack of the assimilation of nutrients because of the depletion of digestive enzymes and bacteria. These must be removed by detoxification on a continuous basis throughout a person's life if they expect to remain healthy. Chlorella is a superior digestive that enhances and facilitates the intake of nutrients when taken before eating.
The level of acidity or alkalinity in the body is critical. A soft drink such as a cola has a pH 2.5. Our bodies should maintain a pH in the neighborhood of 7.0. This means the cola is literally thousands of time more acidic than our bodies. It also means that an extremely acid liquid such as a soft drink is sitting in a aluminum container that has a neutral pH. Since nature always strives remain balances in every sense, it can be assumed that the cola with a pH 2.5 is trying to leach the aluminum from the neutral can in order to balance itself. If you must drink soda, never drink it from a can. Never cook in aluminum pots or pans, or use antiperspirants with aluminum in them. They may slowly accumulate in your body and brain through years of continuous use.

No, mine was not simply fatigue. I am a day sleeper, I am a sleep specialist by trade. I had my normal amount of sleep and I am no longer detoxing. The natural energizer in the chlorella/spirulina, of which I take both had a reaction with the caffeine I drank with the tea.

The other poster also stated she just started taking a b-complex supplement. These combinations will bring you down. Had it been just the spirulina/chlorella, as the reading states they do not have a crashing affect, however it does not address the additional supplements which is what we are doing in our cases, and we are crashing as a result.

CHLORELLA TAKERS!!!!

How much were you taking and how long were you taking it before you started to see results in your poo (sorry) and in your hair/nails/skin and in your general energy levels?

Thanks

I saw green poo after 4g which I am currently on. I have not witnessed any of the other benefits and but I have not even been on it for a week. I am detoxing though and like LD said the benefits should come after the detox. I have had bloating, been irregular, had a mild headache, fatigue, and mild aches in the body that usually go away by the end of the day. I have noticed that my poo does not smell bad anymore! Last time I went it smelled faintly like a pond in the bathroom and that's it and my farts aren't smelly so I guess I am experiencing the clearing of odor in the body that it does. I'm not gonna add a 'TMI' disclaimer in here because I think we are all past that now and can openly talk about BMs as it pertains to the topic of this thread.


I'm thinking that you guys with this effect are just exhausted from detoxing. Your body goes through a lot in that process, and it needs rest. Maybe your body needed a break just to catch up with everything.

Lol, my farts started stinking on the first day, bout knocked me out. But I didnt see green poo until I started taking 5 and more. You should be going for nice, easy, and green. not too soft, not too painful, sorry TMI but you asked:blush:

Ok. I'm very backed up in that area generally so I was hoping to see those results most of all.
Once your poo is green then you're taking the right amount? Mine is green and I'm only taking 2gs one in am and one in pm.

BUT - i have had no detox symptoms or anything.
