Have you ever had chlorophyll? It tastes like that, but only because I use the powdered form and add it to green smoothies. This is what I take:

I take this one from swanson. http://www.swansonvitamins.com/SWK001/ItemDetail?n=0 I take 3-5 tablets with each meal. Sometimes more, sometimes less. It all depends upon how I'm feeling.

AFA, taking it during breastfeeding, the New Breastfeeding Diet Plan says it is okay and even beneficial. There is a study that showed it help protect nurslings from the flu.

I've been taking that for a couple months now to help stabilize my blood sugar (I'm hypoglycemic). It works really well and I don't have blood sugar crashes any more. Mine is actually tablets. They don't taste bad, but you have to take 15 to get a serving. They're small and go down easy though.

. I'm getting some!

My dh took it along w/ milk thistle when he was jaundiced from his bone marrow issues. Seriously, the whites of his eyes were lemon yellow. . Those two products cleared it up quickly.

I read the other day that this is not good to take when you still have amalgam fillings in your mouth. Can anyone vouch for that?

Default Re: Chlorella ... tell me about..

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.
