User Reviews for chlorella

The directions sent with my sun chlorella said dosage was 15 pills safely per day for an adult. I started with only 4 in a.m. and 4 p.m. Stomach first day ok. Second day it became extremely bloated, agitated, gas and constant nagging churning/spasming. I called Sun and phone rang then would disconnect with busy signal all during business hours. I stopped taking pills after 4 days of huge discomfort. Emailed company. They sent me back sorry for your problems sometimes this happens. Sorry we didn't include directions for proper dosages. I sent second email today asking for product return instructions. I will never take this product again. It is very expensive and made me sicker than anything else I have ever taken for better health.Read More Read Less

I have mixed feelings about the product. I think I experienced the serious negative side effects almost immediately after consumption. I needed this product to help me detox "toxins" in my body -- mainly, candida and possibly mercury. I am also trying to decalcify my pineal gland. I so needed this product and wanted it to work in that I tried using it on 3 different occasions (varying the dosage)but with ultimately the same results. Taking a lower dose, I was less sick but experienced the unpleasant side effect of nausea before the other symptoms hit. The main unpleasant symptoms? Repeated vomiting and severe diarrhea (coming out of both ends simultaneously -- I know, too much information). Retching to the extent of having a sore throat the next day. Lying supine on the bathroom floor for hours feeling intensely weak and ill. At least, when I lowered the dose I didn't think I was going to die for the side effects and they did not last as long (3-4 hours vs 8 - 10). My belief is that supplement worked but that my system is so riddled with "poisons" that the die-off (mainly of candida) was too much for my system to handle. I experienced similar symptoms when I finished the protocol of hydrogen peroxide (food grade) therapy but that took 3 weeks to build up to the dosage that would cause the candida to "die-off" which of course, inundates your system with toxins and feels like (I imagine) heroin addicts must feel when they detox -- it is a living nightmare and you do feel like you may not survive it. I wish I could tolerate the yaeyama chlorella that I took because I think it does its job, its just that the side effects are immediate and intolerable and consistently happen. I can't seem to work my system up to accept it even at low dosages. Oh well. Read More Read Less

I have been trying to deal with eczema on my hands for years. It was very difficult because I am a registered nurse and sometimes my hands got so inflamed that I had to take time off work. Since I started taking chlorella and spirulina supplements together, my eczema is under control. I have been taking it for 3 months and have not notice any side effects. I am taking Health Force Nutritionals spirulina and chlorella in tablets. I always had great results with all the Health Force Nutritionals products. Read More Read Less

I HAVE USED THE CLEAN CHLORELLA BY THE HEALTH RANGER FOR A YEAR NOW. IT IS GROWN INSIDE AND NOT OUT AS CHLORELLA IS A MAGNET FOR OTHR TOXINS. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SICK AND FIND IF I TAKE IT AT NIGHT ON A EMPTY STOMACH I DO WELL. CLEAN CHLORELLA 200MG TABLETS-VERY HEALTHY. ALSO PEOPLE THAT ARE VERY TOXIC WILL HAVE REACTIONS--TAKE IT SLOW AND KNOW YOUR BODY IS TRYING TO GET YOU WELL.

Chlorella growth factor cured cancer with no other treatment. Chlorella alone a good detox.

I have been taking 6000 mgs of Chlorella daily now for a month and I have had no nausea or vomiting what so ever. I think everyone is different with differing problems and so not everyone will respond equally. Not to mention the quality of chlorella can vary widely.

I first took sun chlorella 20 years ago after I became very ill with monoucelosis for the second time since college, it was a completely different experience this time, enlarged liver, spleen, every bone and joint in my body hurt, every antiinflamatory, pain pill, sleeping pill, nothing worked, until I went to a health food store, the nutritionist I spoke with recommended Sun Chlorella, and Milk Thistle, which detoxifies the liver. After 6 months I felt 100% better, I still take Sun Chlorella, and Milk Thistle, also Kelp , spirulina, and vegan diet, I have tried other less expensive brands of chlorella, but none worked like Sun Chlorella. The comment about nausea after taking Chlorella was well clarified by next comment. The toxins in your body that you are exposed to every day are "toxic"!!! The nausea you experienced was your bodies response to releasing the toxins, milk thistle is a liver detoxifier, research it, Chlorella is the very best medicine you can take !!!Read More Read Less

been taking Chlorella since 2002 for my MS. I have more energy over all feel good.

I've taken Chlorella for 8 years now. It has to be the best immune system booster I've ever used! I have 3 kids and with a very busy lifestyle, even when I get worn down, they may catch everything going, but I have stayed healthy! My fibromyalgia is manageable, and much less flare ups since I've used this. I remember the 1st month being tough, diarrhea, and stomach cramps, but I know that this was my body detoxifying. Afterwards, I felt my body getting stronger, more energy, better sleep at night and no more getting sick. (sometimes I feel a cold or flu coming on and I just take more chlorella, and the next day I'm better!) I worked my dosage up from 5 per day at the beginning to 12 tablets per day now. I use Dr. Mercola organic chlorella - the source is purest and it's the most effective and costs less than many out there. I HIGHLY recommend taking it - it has changed my life, and now my entire family uses it. Worth the 1st month of feeling kinda crappy, stick it through, it will work for you!Read More Read Less

Have been using daily for almost a year to detox lead and mercury. Totally helps but had to figure out the correct dose to use first.

I started taking Chlorella due to heavy metal toxicity that was causing slight pain in my central spine and lingering throbbing pain in the muscles of my neck. I was suffering from this pain for a few months before taking the Chlorella; the pain disappeared within a week of supplementing with Chlorella. Not only had my pain been resolved via flushing the heavy metals out of my body, my quality of sleep improved, and my mental focus increased.

For all of the people who have had a bad experience with Chlorella, I say you have been taking the wrong brand of Chlorella. The BEST brand out there is Sun Chlorella A. Take as directed and you will get along fine. It is the most refined chlorella made and easily digested and absorbed by your body.

I have more energy since taking chlorella. Any wound I have (blister, etc) heals within 1 week. I have not had healing progress such as this since I was a child. My intestines are much more agreeable.

It nearly killed me. I was too sick to even feel like I could get to a hospital. Severe vomiting & diarrhea. Caution if you decide on this.

I started taking chlorella a few weeks ago starting with a low dosage and working my way up. Immediately after starting, I had a huge increase in phlegm - so much so that my ears were stuffed up. I thought I must have picked up a cold even though I had no fever or typical cold symptoms. I also became severely constipated. After taking a four day break from the chlorella my "cold" disappeared and the constipation went away. I hoped that these were caused by something else so took chlorella this morning. Within 3 hours of the dose I started vomiting pretty intensely until nothing was left inside of me. I googled chlorella and vomiting and started to find this reaction in many more people - even though I didn't read anything of this when just googling "side effects". I will not continue to take chlorella - obviously this superfood is not so super with everyone.Read More Read Less
