This is the one i have now. I just wish it listed how much chlorella growth factor it had in it. I picked it up at the vitaminshoppe.

OH man, I got this one too and I forgot to check to see how much CGF was in it as well. I thought Source Naturals had the highest, but I'm not sure. It's in one of the earlier posts.. Let me go look... I'm going to google this and see if I can find out.

ETA: Okay, this is what I found out.. The CGF in EarthRise Chlorella is 18.8 percent...

"How to Use Chlorella
Just 3 grams a day is helpful for increased energy and well-being. 15 tablets or one teaspoon of powder blended with juice or water is all it takes for better health naturally.

Over 18% Chlorella Growth Factor, high in RNA and DNA, the building blocks of life.

Also another good brand is sun chlorella its acutally fairly popular. Also as pointed out there is a difference in the quality of chlorella, from yayaema (sp?) vs chorella from china, supposedly it is a lesser quality (china).
yayaema is good? I understand you about the sun chlorella because I was researching that one. But what's the one that we should stay away from?

Looking forward to it. I have a feeling you'll be reporting in a week. I think I will. I'm noticing more energy right now, and the nail growth thing. I'll see if there's anything else to report shortly...

What does it feel like? I've never detoxed before so am i just gonna be pooping a lot? That doesn't sound cute or fun lol
I haven't had a bad reaction. I just had more "regular" bathroom. Not running if you know what I mean or slowing down (trying to be delicate in description). I know if I had either that I should half the pills and start from there and then work my way up when my body gets used to it. However, I was prepared to do that, and didn't have to. It seems I took the right amount. Pooping a lot? HA HA! Not Like running to the bathroom. I did have 2 movements in a day. HOWEVER, I didn't have to run. I noticed I needed to go and held it for half an hour as I was in the car, so it's good to know you won't have to "RUUUUUUUN". It's like normal bathroom, only more frequent. The other days I only had one movement but I just upped mine (chlorella intake) by a couple more pills as I wasn't having any difficulties and I noticed that my nails were growing super fast so I got giddy. Two movements is nothing, so I'm cool with it.

Yeah, I know what you mean. That's the reason I got the yaeyama one because it listed the chlorella growth factor as well. You want to have high doses of that in it. I posted some stuff about it back on the first few pages.

Yours says Yaeyama too on it, but mine is from source naturals it's in a black and green package. It's on sale at whole foods for like $10 for 300 tablets.

I have been taking biotin for years to boost my hair and nail growth and strength. But this last month I did a test and confirmed that it is responsible for my acne! Sooo, this thread is right on time for me. Thanks LuckiestDestiny! I bought the Vitamin Shoppe brand of Super Clorella and took my first 1 today. I just relaxed so I will easily be able to see if it increases my growth rate.



Your welcome. Glad I could help. Looking forward to your report.

Right, yayaema is good. I thought i read that the china chlorella was inferior to japanese or yayaema chlorella, but i just tried to google and didnt see that. ;/ Eitherway Yes yayaema is the bomb!

I actually do have jarrow brand powder too! im a fiene lol, i haven't opened it but it has 241 mg of cgf for every two grams, compared to my source naturals one, that has 531 mg per 3 grams? Once im done with jarrows looks like i will be going back to source naturals! ;)

Thanks so much. Every little bit of info helps. Good to see it has CFG in it because Babydollhair purchased it!
 
I am steadfast source naturals is the best brand i have tried, i posted this because someone might find it beneficial.

fyi-Jarrow has a large container that has the most cgf i have seen in any product. Look

Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF) 950 Milligrams!!! I seen this on vitacost, but have never tried it.

Description
100% Pure Chlorella
Rich in Chlorella Growth Factor, RNA, DNA and Chlorophyll Jarrow Formulas® Yaeyama Chlorella is a subspecies of Chlorella vulgaris, a single-celled, fresh water algae. Yaeyama Chlorella is grown in the environmentally pristine coral reef region of Japan's Ishigaki Island using mountain spring water, tropical sunshine and food grade nutrients.
Yaeyama Chlorella cell walls are broken by high impact jet-spray drying that pulverizes the algae wall for increased absorption of its vital nutrients.

Yaeyama Chlorella offers rich amounts of chlorophyll, Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF is high in RNA/DNA), proteins, beta carotene, B vitamins and various minerals. The phytonutrients in Yaeyama Chlorella support healthy cell growth and development and promote detoxification, especially heavy metal excretion.

Yaeyama means richer, flavorful and more nutritious chlorella!

Has anyone taken this:

http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2134029&cp=&kw=chlorofresh&origkw=chlorofresh&sr=1

I know this is not the chorella, but I'm still trying to find it without buying it online, I'd like to buy the Yaeyama Chlorella...can I find it at the vitamin shop in toronto?

Is there a whole foods in Toronto? You can get it there, that's where I got mine. If not, find a Organic, allnatural store and you should be able to find it. The online vitamin shop has Jarrow brand Yayama as well as source naturals so there is a chance you can find it there. HTH

Common complaint w/ biotin. Check in when you get it and let us know how it goes. Try to get ones with high Chlorella growth factor like Source Naturals Yaeyama or others like Sun Chlorella. (Baby doll hair recommended both and I researched and both are the tops).

Wow...I was looking for a thread like this some months back and thanks to Babydollhair she helped me a lot out w/ this one. She put me onto the Chlorella by Source Naturals and I've been taking it ever since. I take the Yaeyama tablets but once finished I will get the powder. I also drink a greenfood drink w/ all that good stuff in it by Bolthouse Farms and another but forgot the name of that one...believe it starts w/ a N. I did a lot of research on Chlorella and it is a very beneficial product that I'm glad I added to my health regimen.

oh and to you I saw another post about checking with your doctor before this if your taking meds

I dont know what this stuff is exactly yet, as its been a long time since I looked into it, but if it has ANYTHING to do with seaweed or kelp, be careful as you have stated there is an issue with your thyroid and the iodine in those products can jack it up

get all the information you need regarding this:yep:
