BulkSupplements.com Organic Chlorella Powder - Broken Cell Wall, Green Superfood Powder, Chlorella Supplement - Gluten Free, 3g per Serving, 250g (8.8 oz) (Pack of 1)

I like the way I feel after drinking chlorella. Its like a mild, sustained boost of energy. Nowhere like a caffeine buzz--its more of a healthy feeling--like I just fed my body 100% goodness. That said, this thing smells like a swamp.I have finally gotten used to the flavor thanks to adding a million other things to my smoothies. But I can see how some people might not like it. Also, be careful because the super fine powder gets EVERYWHERE lol! It stained one of my cloths even after throwing it in the wash.I always buy Bulk Supplements brand because its the real deal--fresh, potent, and I trust that the product is actually what it is instead of filler or weird stuff. Be aware they import from China, so do your research before you buy any specific supplements from them, bit since chlorella comes from Asia originally I figure its good.

I just put a spoonful in my mouth and add water - it tastes great - I was expecting something far worse - but that must be other, cheaper suppliers of Chlorella. I bought the 2.2 lb (1 kg) Chlorella made by Bulk Supplements b/c I trust their brand and packaging. YES - it was $14 more than the cheapest equivalent brand also found on Amazon - but it was worth it. I read the negative taste & smell tests for the cheaper version - and decided to spend more $$'s to get this Chlorella from Bulk Supplements. And I am VERY HAPPY with the product - I would recommend it - and wanted to tell anyone else interested that paying more for this is worth it in my opinion b/c the taste was very pleasant! Of course, I'm vegan and used to all sorts of bitter and intense flavors - so your experience might be different. Lastly, I seem to notice that 1 spoonful of this does completely shut down my appetite - since I like to keep the weight off - I was pleasantly surprised at how filling this feels. It completely stops any feeling of hunger and seems to fill me right up! No other side effects noticed. I did read that clinical tests show that Chlorella will INCREASE Liver Bile Production - thereby getting Cholesterol out of the blood stream and into the Fecal Stream. I also take Phytosterols - also from Bulk Supplements - to help get the Bile Salts out of my body. I have familial hypercholesterolemia so I take a Statin and try to get that extra 10% reduction in LDL by taking beta sitosterol also from Bulk Supplements (which blocks Bile Salt reabsorption in the colon).

A little powder with a lotta punchThe product arrived in the usual minimalistic BulkSupplements packaging. Since I’ve ordered supplements from them before, I have a system that avoids possible spillage the first time I open the seal. First snip the top edge then tap the base on the counter to that ensure any wayward product settles to the bottom before cutting open the rest. If any product has slipped into the zip seal making it hard to close, a quick pass with a brush fixes that.The package lists ingredients as broken cell chlorella and nothing else. It has an extremely fine texture and this was perfect since I got it as a vitamin boost for my smoothies. It has an unmistakable aquatic aroma and taste so I started out using half a teaspoon for a couple of days to prime my taste buds then stepped up to one teaspoon. You quickly realize that there is no disguising what this is so let go and embrace the green by mixing it with things that compliment its unique attributes. If you are making smoothies or juices with your BulkSupplements chlorella powder I'd avoid avoid red fruit like strawberries and raspberries unless you want to end up with something that looks like grey concrete. Green, orange and yellow fruits and vegetables work best. Mango is absolutely perfect. I've been adding the chlorella to my meal replacement. gainer smoothies for almost two weeks now and included my basic recipe below. It's for folks like me who want to put on muscle while avoiding expensive commercial mass gainers formulas wreak havoc on your digestive system. Plenty of room for customization but the Chlorella powder is a very welcome addition.Big Hulk Smoothie (not low low calorie)1 cup frozen fruit such as mango, pineapple etc (can be fresh but with frozen I don’t need to add ice)1 cup or more of your base liquid.

I will happily pay for it when my supply runs out.

I ordered this product after watching videos online regarding detoxing recipes to use with my Ninja blender. I read about all the great benefits of adding Chlorella to your diet and was excited to try it. I've already seen so many great benefits. My Mom came down with a really bad cold and I made her Chlorella shakes with 1 mango, 1 peach, 1 bannana, 1 cup of coconut water and 1 Tbsp of Chlorella. Her cold dissipated in 3 days. I was sold after that. In myself, I noticed increased energy in the morning after I switched to taking my shake around 6 pm when I get home from work. I usually drag out of bed and hit the snooze more than once. Now, I spring up like a chicken...literally. My nails seem to be 'brighter' like they're more healthy and my skin has a 'make-up' like glow and I don't wear foundation. Now this next part might be a bit gross, but hey...these are my results. lol. I really enjoy a good, clean bowel movement (sorry guys, lol) This stuff makes you feel like you're THOROUGHLY cleaning your colon of all that built up waste every time you take a poo. I've not experienced any diarrhea or upset stomach at all. Just very substantial 'poo' when I go. lol. Like you feel like a snake is making it's way down your intestines. AMAZING! (Hey! I'm weird like that lol) I can't vouch for any other brands of Chlorella, their potency or pureness because this was the only brand I've tried. I found them by doing a search for 'the best chlorella brand' and BulkSupplements was in the list. I loved this product and will definitely be adding this to my healthy regimen.
