Klamath Blue-Green Algae™ (Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae) has gained attention in recent years as the most nutrient-dense and perfectly balanced whole food on the planet; making it one of the most vital, foundational superfoods in the health food market today.  Often called “wild blue-green”, it grows wild and uncultivated in the pure, pristine waters of Upper Klamath Lake in Oregon.  This cyanobacteria microalgae is the most primitive of food sources, dating back over 3 billion years.

Blue-green algae is a most efficient photosynthesizer, using sunlight, carbon dioxide and nitrogen from the air, and hydrogen from water to synthesize Proteins, Enzymes, Complex Carbohydrates, and Lipids, (Essential Fatty Acids: Omega 3, Omega 6, EPA and GLA), and Nucleic Acids, RNA/DNA.  The colloidal mineral sediment of Upper Klamath Lake, measured at depths of 35 feet, makes blue-green extremely rich in a full-spectrum of minerals, including many essential trace elements.  These minerals are in a chelated form, meaning they are organically bound, and therefore highly bio-available.

Ounce for ounce, Blue-Green is also one of the richest sources of protein (up to 70%), much of it glycoprotein, which is already converted and ready for assimilation with 80% protein digestibility.  It is considered a “complete protein,” containing all eight essential amino acids in a profile that is nearly identical to that required by the human body.  Protein is necessary for keeping the immune system healthy and at its optimum.  Blue-green is a powerful immune system enhancer.  It also contains most of the non-essential amino acids and is rich in B vitamins, being the highest plant source of B-12, Beta Carotene, and non-toxic Vitamin A; also rich in vitamins C, E, K, Inosital, Choline, and Biotin.  The soft glucose cell wall makes it highly assimilable, and superior in digestibility and absorption.
