Using Chlorella

Chlorella Powder is the best way to take Chlorella because it is assimilated more quickly. However, with Yaeyama Chlorella there is no purity advantage as our tablets are 100% pure Chlorella with no fillers, binders or other additives. See below for tips on using Chlorella Powder.

When to Take Chlorella

We recommend that your Chlorella intake is divided and taken about 30 minutes before meals and at bedtime. However, there are really four answers to this depending on what you want to achieve.

1. For best detoxification effect take Chlorella about 30 minutes before a meal.

This means that the Chlorella will be in the digestive tract ahead of the secretion of bile. As toxins recirculate in the bile this allows the Chlorella to bind the maximum amount for excretion.

Some sources advise you not to take Vitamin C at the same time, so it is suggested that if you use Vitamin C you take that with or after your meal.

2. For appetite suppression take Chlorella about 50-60 minutes before a meal.

There is no magic to this: you are having a highly nutritious “pre-meal” which can curb appetite and reduce cravings. Cravings can be caused by the body trying to obtain nutrients it needs. Improving the diet with nutrient rich foods removes this cause of cravings. Taking Chlorella can reduce snacking between meals.

3. As a food supplement take Chlorella anytime, most conveniently with a meal.

Never forget that Chlorella is a food. Use it like any other food.

4. To assist the body’s regeneration cycle.

The body cleanses, repairs and regenerates while we sleep. Taking Chlorella at bedtime helps provide the body with the resources for this.

Using Chlorella Powder

Chlorella powder is very versatile and can be taken internally or used externally, for example as a poultice, a dressing on a wound or ulcer or mixed with creams.

Powder may be assimilate slightly quicker than tablets but many people do not find taking Chlorella powder easy or palatable. It is usually taken in water or juice, but a lot of people find they prefer to mix it with natural yogurt*. If you want to use powder but find it unpalatable, try mixing it with as little warm water as possible and downing it in one shot. Follow this with a glass of the juice you didn’t want to mix with the powder.

*The fat in yogurt will trigger the release of bile, but as yogurt is digested quickly this should not reduce the detoxifying effect too much.

How Much Chlorella to Take

We suggest 3g or 12 tablets a day divided into two or more servings. This is sufficient for most people and allows for Chlorella to be combined with other supplements. For example, you can safely take 3g of Spirulina and some wheat grass as well.

Yaeyama Chlorella suggest a wider range of intake

Chlorella tablets:-

Take 8 to 32 of the 250mg tablets (=2.0 g to 8.0 g), with water or other drinks.

Chlorella powder:-

Take one or two teaspoons in water, milk or yogurt and stir well. (one spoonful = 2.0g to 3.0g)

New users are generally recommended to start at a low dose and build up gradually.

However, some research suggests that small doses mobilise more toxins from the tissues than they can move out of the body, so we would not recommend a serving less than 3g / 12 tablets a day.

Are Larger Servings of Chlorella Safe?

It is not difficult to find people taking 15 to 20 grams of Chlorella a day regularly.

I personally know of three people who take 25 grams of Spirulina and 25 grams of Chlorella every day regularly with no ill effects.

There are people who take even more.

It is highly unlikely that anyone taking over 20 grams a day is using Chlorella just as a food. ~
It is probable that they are taking these amounts as a natural medicine for an existing condition or conditions. This may be beneficial, but such a course should only be undertaken after consultation with your health practitioner.

This site only advocates Chlorella’s use as a food supplement as part of a balanced diet.

Chlorella ~ Pregnant & Nursing Mothers

This is not the right time to start any new health regime and you should consult your medical practitioner.

The best advice we have received is that if you have already fully incorporated Chlorella into your diet it is safe to continue eating it, but pregnancy is not the best time to start taking it.
