Re: Why not chlorella?

I don't understand the "high sulfur food" part.

Most food high in protein is high in sulfur. Eggs and whey are high in cysteine. Is he against eating these?

I've been taking chlorella for a while, 15-20g a day, and have not felt any side effect. Many say that bad effects can come from too small doses. I've been taking it for 55 days and it's helping my digestion, I'm also having an average of 3 bowel movements a day.

You say that "It's not a true chelator as it contains just one thiol". This is assuming that cysteine is the main chelator I guess. The exact mechanism by which chlorella might chelate is unknown. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubme...

This medline article suggests that "CVE (chlorella vulgaris extract) /lead administration indicates that the immunomodulation effect of CVE plays an important role in the ability of this algae to reduce blood lead levels."

Anyway I'll keep taking it, it's not that expensive and it is still a good sources of protein and vitamins whether it chelates or not. Many sources and testimonials claim dramatic results after about 3 months - 5 months. I know, it sounds like a commercial strategy. Tweet
