» What is Klamath Blue-Green Algae?
... And why would I make it part of my diet? A very good question considering the amount of bad press afforded algae over the years.
But Klamath Blue-Green Algae is a world away from the beach-invading green gloop splashed across the front pages not so long ago. Klamath Blue Green Algae - or Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) - is a wild, fresh water algae that grows in natural abundance in the pristine waters of Upper Klamath Lake in Oregon, USA. The precipitation that falls on Southern Oregon’s Cascade Mountains washes tons of mineral-rich volcanic soil into this alkaline lake annually. The combination of mineral-rich water, clean air, and high intensity sunlight make the conditions in Upper Klamath Lake perfect for growing AFA.
Klamath Blue-Green Algae contains glyco-proteins, a full spectrum of vitamins, 27 naturally occurring minerals, simple carbohydrates and 11 pigments, some of which are the precursor to other vitamins, biologically active enzymes and co-enzymes.
Klamath Blue Green Algae’s microscopic size and soft cell wall is comprised of a gluco-lipo-protein complex making it highly bio-available, its balanced nutrients easily digested and absorbed by the body with very little energy required for digestion.
