Have any of you tried eliminating beef, pork, poultry from your diet? Mine reduced to just 2 days since doing this.
I eat poultry. I need animal protein lol...my period comes when it wants even when I went vegan for about four months. But it only lasts about 4-5 days and the flow is not heavy after the first day.
I get better results in the gym incorporating chicken and seafood verses plant based proteins.

Interesting, I upped my fish/seafood consumption when I began working w/my trainer 4Xs a week, but I began experiencing physical PMS symptoms and cut back. I still eat fish/seafood but my protein powder is vegan. I gained muscle mass w/this powder even when I wasn't working out. Now that I'm back I'm making noticeable gains w/it. I do think spirulina and chlorella have been helping because they are such healthy protein sources.

Plant protein wasn't doing it. So I went back to Whey. It definitely gives me better performance since I do weights four days a week along with my cardio. As far as PMS, i actually noticed less of it with the chlorella/spirulina blend and regular poultry consumption. This has also helped with fat loss as well. I can't say that the spirulina and chlorella are contributing to that (truthfully I would need to take much more for it to protein compensating) but my skin looks phenomenal and that's a lot with everything I've been going through with it.

Every body is different, so I like hearing how others are supplementing their workouts.

And everyone keeps talking about noticeable changes in skin from S&C, but I cannot concur. I see no changes at all. I guess my body is putting it to much better use elsewhere.

Yes, with any supplement, your body puts it where it's needed. I mean, my skin wasn't like BAD or anything, but I can see a glow.
Plus I know there are many other health benefits because it's such a valuable Superfood.

I went up to 4 of the 50/50 pills a day over a two-week period. After a few days at 4, I began experiencing gassiness, stomach cramps, & very soft stools. I think it was too much, too fast & my body struggled to adjust & detox.

Yes, your body will definitely tell you when it's detoxing too fast. I usually keep a pretty alkaline diet so I started with 10 of the 50/50 pills (5 in the morning, 5 in the evening) but when I started out with the recommended 15 all at once, my body let me know it lol...

I had to work my way up. Breaking it up has helped a lot.

I had the WORSE detoxing experience with Diametacious (sp) Earth. I took too much at once and I literally got sick.

Well, I was also changing my diet at the same time I started the pills (to focus on consuming more protein & fats/less carbs because I realized I was carbo-loading and was still ALWAYS hungry). Now that it's been a while and my body is settled into that new diet, I'm ready to incorporate c&s again.

Speaking of every body being different, my protein powder is from peas- dairy based powders always make me so sick.

My other Supergreens from Nutri-Bullet came today to add to my Smoothies.

It is the "Beauty" one for Hair, Skin and Nails.

So, I'll try this one once I finish with the Supergreens "Cleanse" with the Chlorella & Spirulina. (I have a back up of this one) and will buy a back up of the Beauty one especially since I have been adding Supergreens regularly to my Nutri-Blasts in the morning.

Will reassess all of this in September.

I tried Now Spiruluna and chlorella powder a few years ago and could not take the taste or smell. Recently I revisited Spirulina but tried the Nutrex Hawaii brand in my smoothie and I barely taste it. I've added ginger to my smoothie and I think this masks the taste a lot. I'm going to try to incorporate chlorella.
+1 on Nutrex Hawaiian Pacifa Spirulina. I had spirulina powder in another brand years ago and the seaweed smell when first opening the container was overwhelming.

I've been taking Biotin and Bamboo as well along with my Chlorella/Spirulina tablets. I'm up to about 14 a day, 7 in the am, 7 midday. The recommended dosage is 15, tried that and I had some problems lol...that one extra tablet did make a difference.
\

With the 50/50 C & S, how many milligrams of each per tablet?

Still taking both Chlorella & Spirulina.

Also taking Per Day:
Beautifully Bamboo x2 (Supplements)
Phytospecific Cap Energy x2
Silicia x2

As well as my Supergreens from Nutri-Bullet. Will re-evaluate this regimen at the end of Summer.

Chasing that Summer Growth Spurt Hard. The "Dewy" Skin is also a plus.

No, just as an additional supplement. I take other supplements as well.
Thanks, I am trying to address so many things through diet and vitamins but its piling up. I'm doin a multi, vitamin d, c, omega 3 and iodine drops in hopes that it will help with my hypothyroid. I liked the sound of Chorella as it seemed to have a lot of vits in it naturally. Trying to find the perfect mix.
