It must be "broken cell wall" and not heat treated. Preferably not freeze-dried, either, as that damages some of the nutrients. I'm going online tonight or tomorrow to research some different brands.

My mil and dh love the Kyto chlorella from swanson vitamins. You can even get chlorella that has tumeric in it.

Re: Cholrella ... tell me about..
I posted the link to my blog post about chlorella earlier in this thread. I take Chlor-Essence brand, and their website has some great info about it. http://chloressence.com/ You can order on their website, but my local health food store carries it, so I just buy it there. I take anywhere from 6 to 12 grams a day in pill form, depending on how bad my carb/sugar cravings are. Each pill is 500 mg, so that's 12 to 24 pills, but they are REALLY small and I can swallow 6 at a time. A bottle of 300 costs me about $45 and will last me 15-30 days depending on how much I'm taking.
I've been taking it off and on for a year now, combined with a rice protein shake in the morning. I initially started taking it when I did a candida cleanse with our Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor, and then continued taking it cause I loved the side effects. I rarely have blood sugar fluctuations any longer. I used to have BAD blood sugar highs and lows and intense sugar/carb cravings, but those have pretty much completely resolved now even though I'm not on the restrictive cleanse/treatment diet any longer. Plus I have PCOS and there's that whole insulin connection there, so it's quite amazing that I no longer experience those crashes even when I'm not sugar free. Oh, and added bonus? My TOM went from being once every 3-6 months, to every 35 days like clockwork. It hasn't been regular since I went off the pill in 2001!!!! I know it's likely the entire cleanse/treatment plan, not just the chlorella, but it definitely played a part. |

Re: Chlorella ... tell me about..
OrganiqueGal-- that's wonderful!
I'm taking Source Naturals Yaeyama chlorella. Don't know if it's the best or not but it seems pretty good. It's working great for now until I can do more research. I got 600 tablets, 200 mg tablets, for $14 at vitacost. So if I take 4g a day, that's $14 a month. I'm not sure how much I should be taking. Some days I take 2g, some days 4g. So, does everyone go to the bathroom a lot when taking it? . Will that diminish after awhile? That first morning after I took it for the first time, I couldn't believe my eyes.

Re: Chlorella ... tell me about..
Chlorella and breastfeeding. Justice's poops are green! My milk isn't green so I'm not positive it's the chlorella. I stopped taking it a few days to check and his poops basically went back to yellow. However, I also felt like I was losing my mind. I had zero patience, went from calm to screaming instantly. I felt trapped. I took some chlorella again and felt normal again. What's up w/ that?????

Re: Chlorella ... tell me about..
It has to do with the chloroplast within the Chlorella.
