Re: Chlorella side effects

April 29, 2006

Hi Bee,

What are the possible side effects from Chlorella? I just started taking it

this week, 1 pill a day, with a meal, 1,000mg. The only thing I have noticed

so far is a darker stool. How much should I work up to? Also while I have

you, I just bought some HCL with Pepsin from the Vitamin Shoppe (their

brand, no sugar, yeast, etc.....) anyway, the HCL is in the form of sugar

beets. Is this ok?

==>Side effects are different for each person, but if you aren't

changing anything else or adding any other supplement at the same

time it is easier to tell whether it is causing a problem for you.

==>I thought it was 2 tablets 3 times a day, but that sounds like too

much if it is 1,000 mgs - what does the label say? Again, chlorella

may be different strengths, which I haven't studied yet.

==>Thanks so much Shirley.
