Supplements, Chlorella 1,000 mg, Super Green, 120 Tabs

Title: Great for Digestion, Skin & Extra Greens Love this chlorella supplement! It’s been a great addition to my routine, especially when I’m not getting enough vegetables in during the day. While I was on a GLP-1 last year, these seriously helped with the awful constipation side effects. Even after coming off the GLP, I still take them daily because they help support digestion and keep my skin looking healthy and clear. I also love that they contain vegan protein and are easy to take. Definitely staying in my supplement lineup!

I realize it may take several weeks to feel the full benefits. I've had several negative and painful things going on with my digestive system for about 7 years now. A sensitive and highly acidic stomach that requires me to take a well known acid reflux medication once a day and sometimes can get to a point where that doesn't help too much. I had been drinking aloe juice and tried a few detox options in the past but all of them made me feel funny or only work temporarily. The option that made this condition livable was to take a bacteria supplement (the same in yogurt) the acid reflux pills and watch what I eat. I had to eliminate some of the food I love, mainly citrus or anything with too much acid or choose to pay the price. This still did not eliminate the problem it only curbed it enough to carry on a normal life instead of living in the restroom. One evening I was surfing the web and came across an article about chlorella and decided to give it a try. I started taking one pill after lunch on a weekend just to make sure if there were any "events", I would be at home. At first there was little bit of a weird feeling in my stomach but nothing I couldn't handle so I switched to taking it every night after dinner. After just three days I noticed bloating had decreased; pressure in my digestive system has been greatly reduced. After 5 days, my stomach feels like it has much less of the extra acid feeling I usually have and I could probably stop taking my acid reflux pills completely if I chose too. This is the first time in 7 years my stomach has felt normal and as a matter of fact, the last time I remember it feeling this good was when I was a kid. Now it's been about 7 days and i decided to start taking two a day, one with lunch and one with dinner. I should mention I still take the bacteria supplements, as well as a multivitamin and though sometimes it causes my stomach to gargle and sometimes I have to run to the bathroom, I feel much better. It seems to work and how else would it evacuate the toxins? I think this is the beginning of a good thing between me and this supplement. I do not recommend taking the recommended dosage to start unless you have an iron gut in which case you don't need these anyway. Start with one then slowly work your way up. If anything opposite happens in the future, I will add it to this review but so far, so good.

Chlorella is one of my favorite supplements and Now's tablets are a neat & clean way to take it. It's essential to find a form with "broken cell walls" to maximize your body's utilization of the chlorophyll these contain (chlorella is a form of algae). These are DRY tablets and are completely "mess-free." I take about 6 at a time, usually just once or twice a week. Most people will want to take a lower dose, daily. I find chlorella to be a potent energizer & I like the way it makes me feel. It naturally contains small amounts of iron and iodine and is an effective chelating agent (it will help remove heavy metals from your system). It's considered a "superfood" and is a great way for vegetarians to add a high quality protein source (research quantity though--Now's powdered version's a better option for this purpose). Start out taking just 2 tablets per dose until you learn how your body tolerates this; if you have a substantial load of heavy metals in your system, it may actually make you feel a little worse before you feel better. ALWAYS drink lots of water during the day while you take it--you need to help your body rid itself of the excess waste products this will remove from your system. Use caution if you're on any pharmaceutical medications, particularly if you use coumadin/warfarin or if you have impaired kidney or liver function. A little online research will pay huge dividends. Personally, chlorella seems to enhance my thyroid function; I have much more energy on the days I take this, and use it accordingly. It also seems to help reduce allergy symptoms for me. Now is one of the supplement brands I trust highly; their quality control seems to be outstanding and the prices are very reasonable for high quality supplements. Highly recommended! Have a question about Now's Chlorella? Leave a comment & I'll be happy to help you, if I can.

I've used chlorella (either the 500mg or 1000mg per tablet) for several years inconsistently (i.e., usually for just a couple of days before abandoning them because I generally prefer capsules and dislike swallowing tablets). I'd never experienced any issues with chlorella before (which I always take with the same number of tablets of spirulina). A few months ago, I fractured a tooth with a mercury filling, but because it wasn't causing me pain, I ignored it. However, during those months, I experienced increasing fatigue and a slight imbalance in my gait, but I attributed those changes to the aging process. I also had new-onset eczema. Recently, the fractured tooth became infected, and I needed to have it extracted because of the pain it was causing. But, I was also at this time experiencing SEVERE fatigue, worsening imbalance when I walked and mild difficulty with long-term memory. So, I suspected I might have mercury poisoning from leakage of mercury from the tooth filling. A couple of days before my appointment with the dentist, I began taking chlorella 500mg, three tablets in the morning with breakfast and three tablets in the evening with dinner (along with spirulina, N-acetylcysteine and selenium), and I continued this for two days after my tooth extraction because I wanted to avoid further mercury toxicity from the extraction procedure. Soon after starting chlorella, I began having intermittent headaches. On the day of my dental appointment, I was surprised when my blood pressure reading was about 180/110. (I've previously always had perfect blood pressure.) Again, I thought the headaches and high blood pressure could be from mercury poisoning. After I stopped chlorella about two days after my tooth extraction, my blood pressure returned to about 135/80, and my headaches stopped. I've continued to take N-acetylcysteine (600mg twice a day) and selenium (200microcg twice a day) with the hope of binding any ingested mercury, and my fatigue and gait disturbance also have resolved. I was so impressed by these improvements that I decided to put my mother on chlorella/spirulina, NAC and selenium for heavy metal detox. (My mother is in her late eighties.) After about seven days of being on this combination, my mother began experiencing delirium and insomnia. She developed swelling in her hands. Her blood pressure also shot up to (180 - 210)/ (90 - 115). Giving 10mg of lisinopril failed to bring down her blood pressure. Because she had a stroke in the past, I didn't want to wait any longer, and I took her to the ER. On the way, I did an internet search and found that some brands of chlorella contain high amounts of iodine. Could this be thyrotoxicosis? In the ER, her thyoid function tests came back normal. A CT of the brain was negative for any acute findings. She was discharged from the ER without an explanation for the sudden rise in blood pressure and the delirium/disorientation. We were told to follow up with her primary care doctor to better manage the high blood pressure. On the day I had brought my mother to the ER, I had discontinued giving her chlorella and selenium. (Selenium can also raise blood pressure, but usually at a higher dosage than what I'd been giving her.) About 36 hours after her last dose of chlorella, she slept restfully for the first time in two days. Her delirium significantly lessened, and her blood pressure now measured about (155 - 180) / (80 - 95). I've only now learned that chlorella can boost serotonin levels. So, I suspect that my mother developed serotonin syndrome over the course of the seven days that I'd given her 6 tablets ( = 3000 mg) per day of chlorella. (Symptoms of serotonin excess can include any of the following: "agitation or restlessness, insomnia, confusion, rapid heart rate and high blood pressure, dilated pupils, loss of muscle coordination or twitching muscles, muscle rigidity, heavy sweating, diarrhea, headache, shivering, goose bumps," edema (including pulmonary edema), atopic dematitis and, if severe: "high fever, tremor, seizures, irregular heartbeat, unconsciousness.") This can also explain why I developed high blood pressure and headaches when I took chlorella around the time of my tooth extraction. Perhaps these symptoms were not from mercury? I don't know for sure. Higher serotonin may be the reason why other users who've posted their experience with chlorella report elevated mood and a feeling of greater energy. (Maybe these beneficial effects are not entirely due to heavy metal detox.) But it could also explain why, in susceptible individulas, swelling, nausea/diarrhea or other adverse GI effects occur. It may be prudent, therefore, as other users have suggested, (1) to start with a low dose and gradually build up, (2) intersperse continuous use of chlorella with "drug holidays," (3) avoid taking other drugs (like SSRI's) and supplements that raise serotonin levels both peripherally and in the brain.

I love this Chlorella! It’s much easier to take than having to make a smoothie with Chlorella or Spirulina powder every-single-morning. In the past, there were days when I had no desire for a green smoothie, and still had to mix a banana(to cut the flavor of the powder), plus cut and add the other fruits, super foods, seeds etc. The really fun part was the washing of the VitaMix container. Yay Chlorella Tablets! I take 4-5 in the morning and as a result, have an abundance of energy! It’s a mellow kind of energy(plus mental clarity) that lasts me throughout the afternoon. I haven’t yet experienced any coffee-like jitters or ever felt too buzzed. I’m able to do twice the amount of housework, or plow through a sink of dirty dishes stat! An additional benefit: Chlorella cleanses your body and removes heavy metals. Dr. Greger recommends Chlorella over Spirulina. If you’re new to taking Chlorella, I highly suggest only taking one tablet a day and if more energy is desired, slowly increase the daily dosage. As an aside, I’m not a medical professional. I’m only speaking from my personal experience. Update on Aug. 2022 I’m back to buying Now Chlorella in powder form, because I can up the dose to a tablespoon or two, thus giving me more energy. I add banana and mango(or blueberries) to my smoothie to cut the Chlorella flavor, and kale or Supergreens for additional nutrition. Dr. Gregor also recommends adding Amla, Turmeric, Cassia Cinnamon and Ground Flaxseed. Visit his website for the exact amounts.

I got a little sick when I first start taking this. But i spoke to my mom and she told me my body had to adjust to it and it did. Sometimes you get sick when you release toxins. But continued to take it for 2 weeks and felt amazing like it was something my body was missing. But your body does need a break from it it’s not a supplement you take all year round so I take it for 45 days and 45 days off. I do like the liquid ones better. I bought these pills for my friend and he enjoyed the pills better than the liquid so it just depends on what you like.

I started using Chlorella for the great detoxifying properties Chlorophyll has on the body. What I experienced after taking Chlorella off and on for about a year now is: Iv'e had these fatty cysts form on my back over the years, at one point one had come to a head like a large pimple and my wife lanced it, squeezed out gross puss and peroxided it for several days. It went away for awhile and came back. My doctor while doing a physical seen them and said they needed to be lanced, but they weren't bothering me yet , so just forgot about them. Then while doing general research on supplements for various other issues ran across Chlorophyll. Sounded interesting and bought Chlorella, started taking 3 a day and went thru 2 or 3 bottles over about a year. Never felt any difference until I was scratching my back and noticed the 3 lumps on my back were much smaller than the last time I felt them. After a year and a half they are gone. The only thing I can attribute that to is the Chlorella. Killing nasty toxins all of our body's consume on a daily basis. Convinced me. I'm in. I feel better knowing a a lot of other impurities are leaving my body also.

This review is for using this product for improving cholesterol #'s. This is just one of the products I used. I've had mixed results with cholesterol lowering supplements and I have done a lot of research on them in the hopes of avoiding going on a statin. I've taken cholesterol supplements and had my cholesterol go down. I've not taken them and had my cholesterol go up. I've also taken them and seen no change. That being said it is definitely worth a try if you want to improve your lipids and avoid a statin. I was taking this in conjunction with other supplements, all that have some scientific research proving they work. I did see improvements in my lipid panels when I took various supplements but was never able to tell what was helping the most. When I didn't take the supplements my #'s would go up, but lately despite taking all of these supplements my #'s were high and I'm now on a statin and not taking any of them anymore. If you are concerned about your cholesterol I would strongly suggest talking to your Dr about a Coronary Calcium Scan as taking supplements can get fairly expensive. After my last lipid panel results came back elevated I went for the scan and my Dr and I decided to go on a statin instead of spending $750-$1000/year on supplements. For the record my CC Scan cost $100, most insurance will not cover it, but it was the best $100 I have ever spent on health care. For the record I had the best test results when taking the following supplements each day: Flax Oil 2 x 1000mg Krill Oil 2 x 1000mg (fish worked too but I hated the after taste, none of that with krill) TR Niacin 3 x 500mg Sytrinol 2 x 150mg CoQ 10 1 x 100mg Pantethine 3 x 450mg Plant Sterols 3 x 800mg Glucomannan 3 x 1150mg These were all spaced out AM, Lunch, PM. Comparing my worst and best lipid #'s from blood tests from a lab, these supplements did the following: Total - Lowered 60 points - 22% Bad - Lowered 53 points - 27% Good - Increased 15 points - 22% Tri-G's - Lowered 37 points - 25% Good to Tri-G Ratio - Worst was 2.62, while on all these went as low as 1.75 (Harvard Med study lists this as possibly the best predictor of heart attack risk). Ideal is below 2. It should be noted that I rarely eat any meat other than fish/shell fish...rarely eat egg yolks...and have a fairly healthy diet...mainly my lipid issues are genetic.
