controlling blood sugar (DS) weight loss (me) candida (DS and dog) and heavy metal detox (DS) and overall it's just good for you.

cobluegirl · 04-13-2010, 06:45 PM

how much do you take and how often?

sweetpeasmommy · 04-13-2010, 06:48 PM

I take 6 grams a day. If you start off with that amount you may have nausea or vomiting. I would start at about 2-3 grams. I think the final dose depends on why you are using it. Higher for detox or weight loss maybe lower for controlling blood sugar. I gave DS about 1500 mg when he took it and it did a fine job.

sheesh! you dog has a candida issue?! i know it's not funny, but sometimes when you hear something for the first time, it seems that way

off to read.
i know Allison in Tx (ok, i think, i don't know) suggested taking it for anemia

Soliloquy · 08-14-2010, 02:11 PM

I'm thinking the same thing--that it could cause the body to start pulling the metals out. But, if chlorella binds to them and doesn't let them get reabsorbed, I can't see why it would be an issue. If I ever get on a puter, I'll look around.

We happen to have some in the house so I started taking it last night.

So what are the main differences between chlorella and spirulina?

Cobluegirl-- I saw the mis-spelling and was going to pm the op when I had a chance--I didn't realize the op was you or I wouldve mentioned it in the thread as I know you wouldn't mind. I have to pronounce it slowly--I don't know why it's hard for me to say.

I would love to try some.. Is one brand better than another?

sweetpeasmommy · 08-15-2010, 06:26 PM

I've switched to this now that DS takes pills. No more powder and I only have to take 3 to get my dose.

cobluegirl · 08-15-2010, 07:17 PM

Lisa I can't say it either.. it is such a strange word...LOL

I don't know what the differences are between Spirulina and Chlorella....

I think I have both in my cupboard. I have pills btw..could never do the powder.

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.

hmm...I just have the vitacost brand..guess I should look that up..

Mama Rophe · 08-17-2010, 01:22 PM

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

Soliloquy · 08-21-2010, 01:48 PM

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.

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?????
