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" disa ...

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.

I take the Sun Chlorella, I have tried other brands that didn't work as well. I started using it to detox metals and neurotoxins. I started at 1 gram three times a day and had to stay at that for a number of months, I can now tolerate 2 grams 2-3 times a day. It does work well but you have to build up your tolerance.

My skin looks great, my blood pressure has gone down and my joints feel better, it also knocked out my cold sores as long as I take it regularly. If it made you sick you may be allergic.

I've been putting the Jarrow Formula Yeayama Chlorella powder in my morning protein drink for almost a year. I bought it for the sea veggie level vitamins and minerals, as well as the skin cancer-fighting properties I had read about. (My husband gets the occasional skin cancer "horn" and I wanted help him and head it off for me too. I had no idea that it helps fibromyalgia too.) It&# ... Show Full Comment

I've been putting the Jarrow Formula Yeayama Chlorella powder in my morning protein drink for almost a year. I bought it for the sea veggie level vitamins and minerals, as well as the skin cancer-fighting properties I had read about. (My husband gets the occasional skin cancer "horn" and I wanted help him and head it off for me too. I had no idea that it helps fibromyalgia too.) It's wonderful stuff. It's not a toy, though, so do follow the dosing directions. You need to build up a tolerance in your system. I didn't, and ended up having a hypglycemic reaction. Then I read that it's good for lowering blood sugar too. Wow! It sure does! I hadn't paid any attention to that because I don't have diabetes. I don't know what the dosing instructions for the tablets say, but if they're anything like those of the powder, the people who had bad reactions may have taken too much, too early. I really recommend this product. Now all I have to worry about is whether the Fukishima disaster has effected the chlorella beds.

l totally agreed that Sun Brand is best as l trust Japanese Products. l have been taking this for some time and l do not have any side effect. l do advise anyone to start off slowly maybe half the quantity first then increase it slowly . In this way you let your system to get use to the foreign food and let it absorb gradually . Dont rush for results, you will see result if you are patient .

I was advised to take Chlorella after having amalgam fillings removed. After three days, I started feeling nauseous and two days later, threw up for three weeks, violently for two days and every half hour for the first 24 hours. My face was blotchy and bruised. I couldn't eat for 2 weeks and then only a small piece of apple twice a day for the next week. Anything else and I threw up again. I ... Show Full Comment

I couldn't eat for 2 weeks and then only a small piece of apple twice a day for the next week. Anything else and I threw up again. I found it was the chlorella as I tried one tablet a few weeks later. Within half an hour, I again threw up. My system must have recognised it and expelled it! I was fine straight away after that. Can't remember what make it was because I threw the rest of the bottle away!
