A Powerhouse of Nutrition

QUESTION:

What weighs one gram and supplies as much Beta Carotene as 14 cups of whole eggs or 23 cups of yogurt or 14 gram of liver or 140 gram of beet greens or 70 grams of carrots?

ANSWER:

Four capsules of freeze-dried Super Blue Green Algae.

Benefits from algae

We know that orange, yellow and dark green vegetables are supposed to be rich sources of beta carotene. However, today’s farming methods, food processing and storage are primarily responsible for an unfortunate change in the nutritional content of our vegetables.

Raw carrots, for example, have been found to differ widely in beta carotene content from 18,500 I.U. (which they are supposed to be) all the way down to 70 l.U.! Many of the foods that we would normally expect to nourish us are simply images of what they should be, and the modern carrot in most cases only "looks like a carrot.”

No wonder thousands of people are excited about the availability of the little algae from Upper Klamath Lake and are interested in the benefits from algae to supplement their food in a healthful and nourishing way.

Algae are among the Earth’s most ancient organisms,

found in every inch of sod and in every body of water from the largest ocean to the tiniest puddles, in the hottest springs and the coldest streams. It is responsible for 90% of the world’s photosynthesis, thus consuming carbon dioxide and producing oxygen and food for the entire food chain. Benefits from algae extends not just to humans - but to the entire food chain.

Without algae, there would be no life in the seas and very little on land.

Although algae have been eaten by man for centuries, only recently have they been lauded by scientists as THE group of high protein-containing organisms which are the most likely to provide man with sufficient amounts of nutrients for the future, and, when presented graphically, the amino acids contained in fresh water algae almost overlap those of the human body.

Further illustrating the benefits from algae.

Previously the best known species of algae to be available for human consumption were spirulina and chlorella, both marketed throughout the world. However, both spirulina and chlorella are grown artificially in man made ponds and fed whatever the growers have decided that their proper food should be — while Alphanizomenon flos-aquae, better known as Super Blue Green Algae, is a completely wild algae living in Upper Klamath Lake.

Certified Organic

Today there is great emphasis on organic food, and that is the benefit from algae - it is certified organic.
