I just got me a pound of powdered Chlorella. It appears to be a very beneficial protein. I am adding it to my yogurt refrigerator oatmeal. 2 tablespoons of that and spirulina. Chlorella is said to help bring up white blood cells and help immune system too. I'll update after a couple weeks.
Anyone have experience with it?
The only experience I have had is that it tastes like crap! I guess a taste for it can be acquired but I have trouble adding enough other ingredients to bury the taste.
I figured I'd give an update even though this topic didn't spark too much interest. I've been adding 1 - 2 tablespoons Spirulina and Chlorella to my breakfast. At that concetration i gag when it hits my tongue. I have a pound of each. Spirulina has it's nutrition labeled as one ounce to one serving so 16 servings to by bag. The bag is huge. In order to gain enough nutrients I have to eat like a quarter cup. IMO it's not worth it. Chlorella, however is 45 servings to the bag and it has a ton of zinc some protein and other great nurients in it. I'll be keeping that in the mix for a while. I did have to switch from a plain greek yogurt to a sweetened version to not throw up after a couple mouth fulls.
With Spirulina it's pointless. Even if you look at 500mg tabs you need to take 6 at once to get a fraction of it's health benefits. It was a test. Chlorella, however, can be taken in small doses and will give you the nutients quickly. The point was to add it to something i eat everyday hoping i wouldn't notice the difference. If i drop a couple teaspoons in its fine, but in order to get one "serving" an ounce of spirulina is a TON. .4 ounce of chlorella is almost undetectable.
i see. Well, i try to do the things that would give me the biggest bang for my buck - health wise. I add Maca Powder, Cocoa powder, Flax seeds to my shakes + the amino acids, ...etc.
You still doing the gynormous amounts of cottage cheese at night? Dude, are you lactose intolerant ? Was thinking bout the thread you were asking about going too often to the bathroom, and thinking maybe dairy aint the best option for you. Just a thought.
