Aphanizomenon
flos-aquae
AFA blue-green algae
The discovery of this ancient strain of blue-green micro-algae Aphanizomenon
flos-aquae (AFA) has led to a new super food that contains
more protein and chlorophyll than any other food source. Primitive
as algae may appear, most are highly efficient photo synthesizers,
even more so than plants. Algae utilize light energy from the sun,
carbon dioxide from the air, and hydrogen from the water to synthesize
proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. AFA blue-green algae grows
only in the wild and is far superior to any other algae on the planet.
It is nature's perfect food. AFA is unique among all food grade algaes
in that it also metabolizes molecular nitrogen from the air to produce
its proteins and other nitrogen containing bio-molecules. The AFA
blue-green algae cell is truly awe-inspiring. Although hundreds
of times smaller than the cells of the plant or animal kingdoms, its
wide range of sixty-four micro-nutrients is remarkable and unsurpassed
by any known food. It should be no surprise that the nucleic acids
of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae also bio-stimulate the immune
system.
Is all AFA blue-green
algae the same?
The benefits of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae are directly
proportional to the quality and exact source of the algae. Unless
you know the source of the algae, there is no guarantee of quality.
AFA blue-green algae has been harvested from the purest and
healthiest algae from the deepest waters of Upper Klamath Lake. We
bring you the most potent algae available.
About the brain
The brain is the most undernourished organ in the body. Although it
comprises only 2% of the total body weight, it uses 20% of the body's
available energy resources. Each of its estimated 10 billion neurons
has an insatiable appetite, which must be satisfied every minute of
every day of our lives. AFA blue-green algae metabolizes molecular
nitrogen directly from the air. This growth pattern allows for the
biosynthesis of Low Molecular Weight Peptide Groups. These low molecular
weight peptides are the precursors of neurotransmitters, which are
used by various regions of the brain and body to initiate the secretion
of other substances (such as hormones) that influence metabolic functions.
Neurotransmitters can be seen as the chemical link whereby neurons
communicate with one another. The ability of the brain neurons to
manufacture and utilize neurotransmitters is dependent upon the concentration
of amino acids in the bloodstream. This largely depends upon the food
consumption of the previous meal.
The importance of protein
and amino acids
All of the body's basic biochemical processes require energy to occur.
It is from the ingestion of various food substances that the required
amount of energy is obtained. The central part of the body's energy
package that provides for the replication and repair of cells, organs
and organ systems is protein. Next to water, protein is the most abundant
substance in a healthy human body. It comprises a major portion of
the blood and lymph and creates a natural immunity by giving the body
a means of recognizing invading foreign cells and viruses. Proteins
are made up of amino acids, which are the building blocks of the body.
Proteins comprise 90% of the hemoglobin and form the backbone of the
body's immune system. Aphanizomenon flos-aquae contains
more protein than any other organism (plant or animal). There are
22 amino acids, 8 of which are essential and must be obtained from
our foods. Without proper quantities of all the amino acids, health
cannot be maintained. When improper amounts of amino acids are consumed,
the less important body tissues are "cannibalized" causing premature
aging and possible severe deficiencies, such as lack of motivation,
loss of memory, low mental alertness, poor intellectual performance
and depression. What is truly unique about the algae is that its amino
acid profile is almost identical to that found in our body, making
AFA blue-green algae one of nature's perfect foods.

Foundation food
Research has shown it's not only what you eat, but also what your
body absorbs and assimilates that is important. Micro-algae, existing
at the beginning of the food chain, provide nutrition in its simplest
form balanced whole food nutrition that is easily digested and absorbed.
AFA blue-green algae has a soft cell wall that is easily digested
by the body. This allows rapid absorption of vital nutrients with
97% assimilation. This algae, harvested from the wild in its 100%
organic natural state, comes to you directly from southern Oregon's
extraordinary Upper Klamath Lake. The lake is far away from any large
cities that might pollute the air and water, and it is also entirely
surrounded by the Cascade Mountains. This unique ecosystem of mineral-rich
water, clean air and high intensity sunlight makes Upper Klamath Lake
the perfect growth medium for this nutrient-dense whole food. Aphanizomenon
flos-aquae from Klamath Lake is the very best that algae can
be. It is the most fundamental food on the planet. There is simply
nothing else like it. Algae has been harvested and eaten for centuries
and yet, until recently, its immense nutritional value has mostly
gone unrecognized. Now, science has begun to focus their attention
on the nutritional potential of algae because of global hunger, shrinking
resources, depleted lands, etc. The results of this research and testing
have been impressive enough for UC Irvine scientists to call it a
"Super Food, capable of contributing to the achievement and maintenance
of wellness.”
The importance of chlorophyll
Chlorophyll is a very important part of the algae. Its molecular structure
is almost the same as that of the hemoglobin, which is responsible
for carrying throughout the body. Oxygen is the prime nutrient, and
chlorophyll is the central molecule for increasing the oxygen availability
to your system. Chlorophyll is vital for the body's rapid assimilation
of amino acids. Algae is the highest know source of chlorophyll.

10 grams)

Spirulina 115 mg

Wheat Grass 55mg
The importance of vitamins
Vitamins are essential to human life. They are organic compounds necessary
in small amounts to promote growth and maintenance of life. They do
not provide energy, nor do they construct or build any part of the
body. They are needed to transform food into energy for the body.
AFA blue-green algae contains a complete balance of vitamins
except for vitamins "D" and "E". Spending time outdoors in the sun
provides a source for vitamin "D", where it is formed in the skin
by ultra violet rays. Eating high chlorophyll foods helps produce
vitamin "E" in the body.
The importance of organic
minerals
Minerals are important to the overall functioning of the mind and
body. They have two general body functions - building and regulating.
Without minerals, vitamins have no function. Minerals help build the
skeleton and all soft tissues, and regulate heartbeat, blood clotting,
internal pressure of body fluids, nerve response and oxygen transport
from the lungs to the tissues. Aphanizomenon flos-aquae
contains almost every organic mineral in trace amounts, which is what
the body must have to function well. Minerals can literally mean the
difference between good health and serious disease. While the minerals
only represent about one percent or less of our daily food intake,
without them we cannot utilize our food, and we would quickly perish.
The importance of beta
carotene
The body uses beta-carotene to produce its own Vitamin A. Because
the body converts beta-carotene into Vitamin A only as needed, there
is no threat of toxic build up. The beta-carotene in AFA blue-green
algae is probably one of the most powerful natural antioxidants
known today. It may well be the single most important factor towards
enhancing the immune system (by protecting the thymus gland) and thus
increasing our life span. However, the potential healing properties
of beta-carotene are maximized ONLY when other precious carotenoids
are also present. Aphanizomenon flos-aquae contains
dozens of carotenoids, all able to neutralize the deleterious effects
of dangerous free radicals. In the past 25 years, twenty-four worldwide
studies have looked at beta-carotene. All findings are consistent.
Leading degenerative disease research authorities have shown that
people who consume higher-than-average amounts of foods rich in beta-carotene
have lower incidence of degenerative disease.
The importance of pure
water
We can go without food for weeks but without water we die of dehydration
in a few days. Over two thirds of our body is water, yet most of us
don't clearly understand the importance of drinking pure water (no
chlorine, no chemicals, no bacteria or carcinogens). Water is the
most abundant compound in the human body and is necessary for: Digestion
of food; Regulation of body temperature; Transport of food to the
tissues; Elimination of toxins and body wastes; Circulation of body
fluids (like blood and lymph); Lubricant in the joints and internal
organs - keeping them moist; Permitting the passage of substances
between the cells and blood vessels. Water is part of the blood system
holding dissolved minerals, like calcium and magnesium, in solution
and making them available to body tissues where they are required
for proper health. When water consumption is limited, the body robs
some areas to protect different tissues and organs, which results
in pain, tissue damage, and a variety of common health problems. All
too frequently we tend to confuse thirst with hunger and instead of
drinking water, we eat, leading to weight gain. Your body needs a
minimum of 1/2 ounce of pure water, per pound of body weight, per
day.
The bottom line
America's food supply is highly refined, processed, genetically altered
and nutrient deficient. All of these factors negatively affect our
bodies over time. It is very difficult to eat and stay healthy on
the typical American diet. Over production of our farmlands have depleted
the soils, causing our foods to be nutrient deficient. Most of the
major degenerative diseases are largely caused by poor diet and unhealthy
foods. Dr. Stanley S. Bass, N.D., D.C., Ph.C. says, “The closer the
food comes to the natural state in which it occurs, or the closer
we come to its raw, unfired form, the higher its quality is.” In this
condition, all the enzymes are found intact. The amino acids are in
their finest form. The minerals, vitamins, trace elements, carbohydrates
and life force are present. This life force is, in turn, capable of
reproducing tissue, which is full of life and longer lasting in structure.
Eating organically grown unprocessed foods, fruits, vegetables, nuts
and seeds provides your body nutrients that are free of herbicides,
pesticides and preservatives. Aphanizomenon flos-aquae
is nature's most basic food. It exists at the beginning of the food
chain, provides perfect nutrition and contains more protein than other
whole foods. This super nutrition provides rich naturally occurring
Chlorophyll. Chlorophyll has been shown to enhance your entire health
and boosts the immune system. This amazing food can also help to purify
the blood, promote intestinal regularity and naturally help heal the
body. Good nutrition is the first step toward a long and happy life!
