Will I have a clearing reaction?

Because of the fiber content in chlorella’s cell wall and other nutritional factors, when some people begin to take chlorella for the first time they may go through cleansing reactions with some purging of the bowel.  This cleansing reaction may take the form of increased  intestinal activity such as gas, cramping, constipation or diarrhea.   This same type of cleansing reaction can occurs if you were to switch from a processed food diet low in fiber and enzymes to a whole food diet rich in fiber.

For this reason, start out with less than the suggested amount and gradually increase up to the recommended dose over 2 or more weeks.
