Anyone using sun chlorella tables? Does it work for you or is it placebo?

    Cheers, much appreciated. Have you used chlorella yourself? I’ve been taking 12 tablets daily for almost 3 years
    , stopped for 2 weeks due to supply shortage. Noticed increased fatigue and not the best sleeping nights😔. Not sure if this was due to not taking the supplement or just a coincidence......? More intense training......?i don’t stress often so not sure. Looking for advise from a user 😂, it is quite expensive to buy🤔

    Is it safe to take 12 tablets a day, and does your doctor know you use it?

    Not a user, but it's common for people taking supplements that they believe are beneficial to suffer adverse effects when they stop taking them.

    In my case I take a single daily potassium pill for leg cramps. When I run out I start having cramps again in a few days. I have no idea if the pill actually works or if I'm psyching myself into having cramps because i want to believe the pill works.

    Just food for thought. Nothing wrong with placebos if they work 😊

    You should get tested for b12 deficiencies. Also, are you vegan?
