Hi everyone! As soon as I finish my current stash of supplements I will only take Chlorella,Wheat Grass and Spirulina.No multi. Tried a shot of Wheat Grass yesterday. Not bad and it bulked up my um...bm. Sorry tmi I know just thought it may help someone. Oh yea I have been taking the Chlorella for about 1.5 weeks I almost cut my skin on my hands with my nails!

I don't understand how people's nails are getting stronger at the ends? It just doesn't make sense. I thought nails are just like hair, Once they come out and are visible it's just dead stuff. If you break a nail how is it gonna MEND back together? You take chlorella for a week and all of a sudden your nail are EXTREMELY strong? That just doesn't make any sense. Someone help me to understand.

I'm not into science and all that, but chlorella was the only thing that I introduced into my body over a week ago. Before that my nails were weak, could bend back easily, and I could rip them without any effort. Now it's so hard to bend it, rip it, you name it. I have to now take my nail clipper to clip them.
If someone else could chime in that would be great.
I suck at explaining!

Subscribing. My stylist confirmed I get an inch a month of growth from topical growth aids...it will be interesting to see if and how the chlorella will play a role

I am taking Earthrise Green Blends. It combines: Spirulina 1000mg, Chlorella 400mg, Barley Grass 400mg, Wheat Grass 400mg, Alfalfa Herb 150mg, Chlorophyll 16mg, Broccoli Foret 150mg, and Phycocyanin 140mg. The suggested dosage is. 4 caplets daily. I am not going to tweak that. I am satisfied with the results I am getting and my BM's are green and regular. This is day 3. I chose this one to keep from having to add a bunch of stuff later! This way I can get the full benefits of each of these powerful greens. I also take Chlorophyll 50mg liquid with mint flavor once per day.
So far the only side effects, indegestion. Not sure what caused it, but its terrible, I had to take some Zantac. It could be something I drank. I usually drink water plain or flavored, but last night I had a coconut mango bananna juice blend, that may be the culprit.

LOL I agree!
Yes I am puzzled as well. I thought that the nails that were already there before taking chlorella would have to break away before revealing stronger nails but it sounds like people's already existing nails are getting stronger. Would certainly be cool if it could do that with already existing hair on our heads.

I dont really know how to explain either. It was the only thing I addded in the last 1.5 weeks. I am a stay at home mommy who washes a lot of dishes. Usually my nails would break easily. This week they have not. And they are not soft and pliable. They are strong. However, I am drinkingfor waistlong hair and also I add a green smoothie powder mixture to my breakfast. Maybe everything is working together...But not everyone who is claiming stronger and longer nails drink what I do...I can only testify for myself...

I agree with the above. Im cutting out my multi-vitamins, fish oil etc. I read the link LD posted and pm'd me and I ordered spirulina and chlorella powder. I will have gone from taking about 20 pills a day for hair and health to maybe 3 if I decide to add silica.
I tried 4g of chlorella today and its not bad. I am noticing the cleansing side effects on my skin. The egg shake gave me flawless skin but I have a few bumps so I think its the chlorella, hopefully this will go away. My goal is to do 12:6 ratio of spirulina and chlorella until I meet my goal and then cut that in half.
The nails thing is amazing. I feel like I can poke a hole in the wall with my nails they are so strong. I don't get how it works but I love it anyway.

I haven't personally but I posted something that says some may experience stomach upset, so maybe that's what's going on with you. Your body is just detoxing. If you've been taking it for 3 days, I don't think you're allergic or anything.

Check out chlorella. Depending on how much iron you need, and how much chlorella you're taking...as chlorella already has iron in it and it may or may not be needed (unless you have a huge iron deficiency or anemia and even then if you're taking enough chlorella you could be fine. Check the vitamin stats I posted earlier in the thread for chlorella).

I was thinking about that myself, from what you posted earlier about a challenge, but I think that with everyone posting their results, we'll be able to discover what works, which type (for example if one type of chlorella brand works better than another), how much, etc. Just as long as everyone reports back, and hopefully eventually posts pics, I think that may be enough. What does everyone else think? I'd hate to deprive those who want to take more, of it because they're on the smaller dose side. Because eventually even smaller dose people can take more. Like the article I posted says, eventually your body gets used to it and then you can increase the amount you take.

I was most definitely thinking of this because I love simplifying my life. I probably will still do my tea rinse, but I don't see myself purchasing any growth aids in the future. Especially if this works so much better and I believe we're on to something!

That's why I had to share it with lhcf because I was shocked when I saw all the benefits. All those vitamins are right in chlorella. And in addition as it's a whole food w/o fillers or binders (even my tablets are that way), it is much more absorbable in the body than any vitamin can ever be. I posted something about how that works earlier in the thread too. (I'm a little article crazy
)

Yes and more yes to bolded!Yes and your body should absorb the nutrients from chlorella A LOT better than it did those other supps you were taking. The nutrients are HIGHLY absorbable. I ran out of MSM and have not bothered to purchase anymore because I don't believe I will need it anymore with chlorella. I never really saw any fast growth with MSM but I kept taking it to hopefully extend my growing phase but with 1-2" shooting out of your head a month with chlorella who needs to extend the growing phase?

I agree, because this is something that's specific to each person (one person may be able to take more chlorella than another, or may want to take less). I think you should be able to adjust as needed. But if we keep up with each other's progress, it's going to be fine. JUST pleast post your progress!

If you are, it's like I wrote earlier: constipation or diarrhea...cut your chlorella in half and wait until your body gets used to it (normal bathroom) and wait at least a week or more before increasing as your body is detoxing.

Good about the green thing. Now about the whole slowing up thing, your body is getting used to it. If you're not having side effects, you can increase it.

I can't speak for everyone else, but I will say for myself, thank you for that. I am happy to get out the info, and I agree that this thread is so positive, and I hope it stays that way! I love just sharing ideas and wishing others well as we try to find out what works for us.

You know I can't even say specifics of that even with all the research. I just know it works. I know the CFG causes cell turnover fast and regeneration of tissue...however you're right that it's dead stuff. But it just goes to show that this stuff is something that's really helpful for the body.

I'm thinking it's maybe something you drank too, after reading the above. Your not taking much chlorella yet. Are you planning on adding just a little more chlorella into your diet like extra powder?

Same effect. Mine always split and they aren't now, plus they're growing as fast as I cut them!

I would think so. My skin looks like silk now, and it's almost poreless in look at least! It's from the chlorella. So maybe you're detoxing a bit, and then it will be okay. From all the stuff I read, it helps to clear acne with continued use. You could also just be having a break out of sorts. Either way, keep taking it and it will clear up and shouldn't be for long at all.
Over the past two days I have read this entire thread. I am making a trip to vitamin shoppe tomorrow. I am really excited to try chlorella after everything I have read. Before reading this thread I had already made a shopping list to go and try ala, biotin and b-complex, but I wasnt excited about the extra facial hair and acne that people have been experiencing. I really help that this will help simplify my life as well. It sure would be nice to get all of these benefits without doing or taking a million different things.

Get this. I think it's hysterical. Now I am natural but my mom is relaxed. My mom called me complaining "Damn it ---(insert my name here but for internet puposes insert luckiest destiny) what are you doing to me? I just got a relaxer!" She's complaining because she has new growth already! I told her like that's a BAD problem. She was using chorella just for health benefits. She said she'll keep using it but she's mad damn it! Cause she just had her hair done last week.
Talk about a GOOD problem.

Here's to hoping that we can all have that same GOOD problem. Then we'll be asking if we should cut down our doses cause we've already reached our goals and it's growing too fast!

I have not seen the growth in length in my nails but they are definitely stronger and harder.

what kind are you taking now, and what's your dose? Any benefits show that it's kicking in. My nails kicked in first.
