Re: Chlorella

"because something is a chelator, does not mean it would work for everybody."

yes, all chelators chelate;  that is why they are called chelators.  some you may react to.  take them and see. 

"i'd still like an answer to my question-- how would i know the chelators are doing their job?"

sorry, i don't even understand the question, can't help you.

if you don't want to use a bunch of different products:

either one of these two, Vibrant Life or  Beyond Chelation Improved.  They are the the best chelation formulas in the world and easier than taking a bunch of individual chelators
