HOW TO
USE CHLORELLA
For general health
maintenance, a daily dose of 2-3 grams is recommended. If it
is being taken to relieve specific symptoms, the dosage should
be doubled to 4-6 grams. Athletes and individuals who push
their bodies to the limit may take 10 grams or more daily;
with Chlorella, more IS better!
Chlorella is
commonly available in tablet, capsule and powder form. To use
Chlorella powder: Add 1-2 teaspoons of Chlorella powder to
water, juice, yogurt or smoothie and stir well. One level
teaspoon contains approximately 2,500mg.
Since Chlorella is
a whole food it can be taken anytime, with or without food.
However, to take advantage of its benefits for the digestive
system, it is best taken just before meals.
In Japan, because of it's high content of minerals
and other useful nutrients such as CGF, Chlorella powder is
often added to many foods such as soup, baked goods, fruit
juice, noodles, honey, syrup, tea. etc.
Chlorella is excellent for use during fasting as it
provides complete nutrition and also aids in the
detoxification process.
Chlorella can
safely be taken by adults, the elderly, children and even
infants. In fact, Chlorella in pure water is recommended for
infants who do not have access to mother's milk or who are
allergic to formula or cow's milk. This is actually superior
to most formulas or cow's milk, which do not supply the
essential fatty acids crucial for optimal development of the
immune system, vision and brain.
As whole food, rather than a concentrated extract
Chlorella can be taken in large amounts with no unpleasant
lasting side effects. Chlorella has not been found to have a
single detrimental affect on human health. It is almost
impossible to take too much Chlorella.
However, because of Chlorella's natural ability to
remove toxins from our cells and tissues, some temporary
reactions may occur in individuals with a high level of
intestinal toxic build-up, including bloating, nausea and
slight fever.
Because the skin is
also an excretory organ of cleansing, some individuals may
initially experience acne, pimples, rashes, boils or eczema.
This is a sign of the body's attempts to regain internal
balance as it actively works to expel toxins.
These cleansing symptoms may occur in a small number of people
for 2-3 days. These reactions are most prevalent in those who
need Chlorella's cleansing powers the most.
