This is really one of the safest products out there. NOW foods actually tests their products for all contamination, including radioactive substances, which is extremely important since the Japan crisis. This is sourced from Taiwan at one of the most modern chlorella plants around. I had a long talk with the company reps about this. I feel very comfortable taking their products and giving them to my family, MUCH more so than other companies who gave me the run around when I asked if they were testing for radioactive substances. Other companies that source their products from Japan are the ones I would not trust now.

Unfortunately, this Chlorella is sourced from China. Too bad, because I really like it. I don't believe in the quality control methods of China, and I don't care if the label says "organic." I'm not putting this into my body!

I was told to add this product to my mix to assist in getting my energy up without stims. I've been taking protein powders for months to augments my diet, and for weeks I've been feeling sluggish. I was told to add this product to my mix to assist in getting my energy up without stims. After a two weeks of taking a teaspoon at night and in the morning I feel better. Can't say I'm jumping off of walls, or scaling ten story buildings...but I don't need coffee in the morning now.<br />I prefer this mix added to a strawberry protein shake, with a frozen banana. My taste bugs go nuts for this mixture. I've tried vanilla, which is decent and chocolate tends to not taste so well. To each his own though, try it and see what works for you.<br /><br />Word of warning folks, this stuff is intense. It makes everything green, your bowel movements will look like oscar the grouch...green and mean! When you pass gas it will smell like alfalfa hay, no joke.<br />This size a serving size is 1 "Rounded Teaspoon" and it states 115 servings come inside. That should help you all size up how much a pound of this stuff can break into.<br />Please be careful, if you are not accustomed eating healthy. This stuff tends to do 3 things to beginners, lots of farting, lots of bowel movements, or constipation. Any one will occur if you take to much, and to a lesser extend when you start. Take it at night, so you don't get the farting/bowel movements at work.<br /><br />3 stars for this product because it does what many have said. Now foods doesn't make it better or worse than others.

Wife and I am avid about fitness. Bought this stuff and my wife and I started getting more and more tired over the course of about a month. We were having difficulty making it through a complete workout. Then I found out this Chlorella is from China – it doesn’t say it on the bottle. Stopped taking it and my energy is returning. This stuff is China junk. Threw it away and will get it from a non-Chines source. I found out that China Chlorella is not so pure. Taiwan is much better.

After three weeks of putting this powder in my smoothies, I came across a plastic strip (see picture). At first I thought it was a piece of seaweed but after inspecting it, I realized it was a piece of plastic that did not get turned to powder with the rest. Have I been feeding plastic to my family?! Obviously, there is nothing organic about this product! I regret having bought it.

This is part of my &#34;cocktail&#34; that I used after being diagnosed with Stage IV metastatic breast cancer to every bone in my body and given 3-6 months to live. I am doing great with no sign of cancer. I will keep using this along with all the other stuff forever and ever! And just a side note - it took my body odor away! I don't have to use deodorant. I use to have to use the clinical strength a couple of times per day. My 11-year-old is in the throes of puberty. She could stink up a room with her b.o. in no time. Since she's been taking chlorella and spirulina, no problems any more! Hallelujah!
