Been doing some research on this super food and want anyone's opinion on this. This is a natural substance that is supposed to be good for liver detox (I've been on Tegretol for a long time). Any opinions would be helpful as I don't know whether or not to try.---LMT:pop:


Chlorella is an amazing super food that can be taken by anyone and everyone! Chlorella is a pure food free of toxic residues and chemical additives. Chlorella is the richest natural source of chlorophyll. Chlorella is a raw whole food. You cannot eat too much.

Chlorella 1000, 250mg/.25gram tablets

Ingredients: Chlorella Pyrenoidosa

Storage: Refrigeration is not required.

Suggested Usage:
Depending on the results you are looking for, it is recommended to take anywhere from 12 to 20 chlorella 250mg tablets daily or more. (See our recommended usage chart below.) A higher intake is recommended for healing effects of more toxic bodies while the lower intake is recommended for general daily maintenance of health.

To get the most out of chlorella’s detoxification effects, it is recommended to spread out your daily dosage with each meal throughout the day. Taking chlorella with your meals helps with better absorption of nutrients as it helps the very good digestive bacteria to multiply.

If you are new to taking chlorella, begin slowly and gradually increase your intake as to properly introduce it to your system. It may be good to start with a small amount for your first week and gradually increase your intake each week until you reach the full amount recommended for the results you are looking for.
 
I've been taking chlorella for a while

& have never known it to act as a liver detox or cure. Milk Thistle is what I use for my liver (I've also been on large amounts of Tegretol for a long time). I do feel better taking chlorella but I assume that's because of the protein content. Otherwise I haven't found much to support a lot of the claims made for chlorella by people who sell it.

Here's what I've found on Chlorela:

About Chlorella and spirulina

Hello!
I take them both but am in need to ordering most. I take about 30 pills a day when I have them both. They do make some that have both Clorella and Spirulina in them "50-50" pills. Or you can buy the powder and mix in with orange juice. These two are excellent for B-vitamins too. they have everything you need but water just about. I used to know more about it but have forgotten some things on it. I take it especially since I'm on Tegretol XR and Keppra. I think having a way to detoxify in a way is good.
I've asked my neurologist about taking these two and she said they are like a vitamin to begin with and are able to be taken with AEDs. I've been taking them for over a year or so now. I would recommend taking the 50-50 pills made by Tachyon. Anyway go to their website and look around.
There is something called Epistill but it's not really recommended by many people or doctors/neuros that I've heard of.
I usually order mine over the internet but there might be a whole foods or Wheats Ville that might carry it. We haven't been back in Austin long enough to find out lol.
Superfoods like barley grass, spirulina, chlorella, and many other are great for anyone and some have to be taken in small amount just so you don't detox too fast especially if you don't eat as well as you can to begin with. If you start having problems or don't feel well with what you start on, then lower the dose. I usually take mine one hour after taking my seizure meds.

Spirulina tastes like seaweed while Chlorella tastes like grass lol
But you get used to it.
Anyways, take care and be safe-
