Review: Lifestream Chlorella

Lifestream Chlorella 120 tablets MYR 92.80

I am not much of a fan of taking supplements, mainly because I am quite sceptical amid their fancy marketing write ups. Now, how come I ended up taking this one? Well, I was visiting my local drugstore searching for a natural based deodorant and a kind pharmacist came and assist me. I told her I have tried most of the deos available at the store but delivered no results. She then suggested me to take chlorella as she explains that the odour may be due to my body being toxic. Was I offended? No. She wasn't pushy or anything and I think she was pretty reserved too to even take up the matter to me. She gave me some reading materials and I told her I need to get a good read first before I even consider to purchase.

After searching through the internet and did a quick background check on the company and brand, I returned to the drugstore get a bottle of chlorella.

Product Description

Much of the food we eat contains chemicals: preservatives, artificial colours, pesticide residues and flavourings. Food can also be loaded with saturated fats and refined carbohydrates. These artificial compounds differ greatly from foods in their natural state and as a consequence our digestion and health may be compromised.  

Symptoms that the bowel may not be functioning to it’s optimum level and signs of sensitivity to artificial compounds are generally seen as feeling sluggish and tired, low energy, irritability, bad breath, body odour, skin problems, headaches, loss of appetite, flatulence, infrequent bowel motions and often just a feeling of being unwell.   

As research is now proving, it is being discovered that many health conditions can be traced to poor bowel health. If your body is not able to get rid of the toxins or waste in your bowel, you may not have the ability to function at your optimum level. This is why detoxifying the body regularly is so important.

My Experience

I started taking this supplement mid-January, beginning with 1 tablet in the morning before meal. The pharmacist did warn me that I may feel nausea in the first few intake but will gradually be fine. True, I did experience a little headache but was fine by night. After 3 days, I increase to 2 tablets. During the time, I did not see improvements in my bowel movements nor my body odour. Probably it's too early to see the results.

After 10 days, I increase to 4 tablets a day. Since then, I see some tiny improvements in my bowel movement and managing to go on alternate days. I also noticed that the stool do have a pungent smell and was dark green. I read that it is normal because it is a process of toxic elimination.

After completing the whole bottle, I must say that I didn't see vast changes. Externally, my odour is still there, though it did not smell as pungent as before. Internally, I see a HUGE improvement in my bowel movement! I can manage to go 5-6 times a week! This is a record for me. A point I must note is that I started to embark on eating healthily after I finished the detox programme. I drank a lot of homemade Chinese soups, increase my vegetable intake and cut down on carbs. Probably, my bowel movement improved a whole lot too by adding this regime to my diet. I will share about this soon.

Overall

Though this supplement did not really help me in my initial plan to rid my BO, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise that it improve my bowel movement. To date, I am enjoying every bit of my time in the loo..seriously. I feel joy when I have regular and healthy bowel. 

Now, some of you may ask, any improvements for skin? I am glad to report that I did not experience any new breakouts during that time. 

Note: Because Chlorella is a liver cleansing and a detoxification agent, it is advisable to embark on this only once a year or max 2 times a year.
