Research Affirms the Efficacy of Super Blue-Green Algae: Impressive research documenting the health benefits of microalgae (including Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, or Super Blue Green® Algae) has been published, much of it in peer-reviewed journals. According to clinical psychologist Jeffrey Bruno, Ph.D., in his book Edible Microalgae: A Review of the Health Research, the efficacy and safety of this super food can be summarized under several headings, including: · Enhanced brain function, behavior, and learning* Each of these areas has either a substantial amount of research already compiled or enough to merit further investigation. For more information on these and other algae-related studies, simply hit reply and request them.· Immune system support* · Cellular health* · Antioxidant effects · Cardiovascular health* In Nandaime, Nicaragua, a carefully designed study of first, second, and third graders was conducted at the Monseñor Velez School. The results of this study were published in The Nicaragua Report in 1995. The 111 children, who each received one gram (four capsules) of Alpha Sun® for at least five days a week for six months, exhibited significant improvements in behavior, attendance, academic performance, nutritional status, and condition of skin, hair, eyes, and mouth. Joint Study Explores Favorable Effects of Blue-Green Algae on Cholesterol Levels Research on blue-green algae conducted jointly at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School was reported in the January 2000 issue of The Journal of the American Nutraceutical Association (JANA). Blue-green algae was shown to serve as an excellent source of desirable dietary n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). In this study on rats, blood cholesterol and triglycerides were more significantly lowered by a diet fortified with blue-green algae than by a standard diet containing soybean oil or coconut oil. High bioavailability and the presence of chlorophyll appeared to contribute to the beneficial effect of fatty acids in the algae. Project researcher Dr. Raphael Kushak comments that North American diets are deficient in PUFAs, a fact which "has been linked to immunosuppression, arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, and mental and dermatological problems." Dietary n-3 PUFAs have been shown to support many important aspects of health. Blue-Green Algae Has Many Unique Benefits for Humans Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (Aph. flos-aquae) contains many micronutrients that have been shown to be beneficial to humans. Chlorophyll appears to promote healthy skin and immune response.* Beta-carotene and other carotenoids such as lutein and lycopene have cardiovascular and immune benefits.* Phycocyanin (blue pigment) has been proven to have strong antioxidant properties. Furthermore, incorporating this algae into the diet is safe. In 1998 Dr. Gitte Jensen, a researcher at McGill University, conducted important double-blind research on Aph. flos-aquae. She concluded that the algae appeared to support the immune system, and also commented: "Even at extreme concentrations--the equivalent of a human ingesting 15,000 capsules of Aph. flos-aquae per day--I found no toxic effects on human blood cells." Publications by Health Professionals Feature Blue-Green Algae In The Miracle Superfood: Wild Blue-Green Algae, Gillian McKeith, Ph.D., presents research on how Upper Klamath Lake algae stimulates immune response, supports digestion, helps the body to cleanse, enhances tissue repair, supports healing, protects the body from environmental dangers, and promotes healthier life.* In her book Living Food for Health, Dr. McKeith summarizes the benefits she sees in clients: "Wild blue-green algae helps you to think better, improves memory. It strengthens immunity, and provides a feeling of well-being, vigor, and vitality."* She also points out that "the source of the algae is crucial...According to scientists, these blue-green algae from Klamath Lake in Oregon are completely safe, incapable of producing toxins." Dr. John Apsley II wrote in The Genesis Effect that "blue-green algae is best grown under ideal natural and wild conditions. For example, unpolluted mineral-rich seas or lake beds would be the ultimate source of food-grade blue-green algae." Professor of chemistry Karl Abrams wrote a comprehensive review of nutritional blue-green algae entitled Algae to the Rescue! In the book's introduction, award-winning physician Kathleen DeRemer, M.D., echoes Abrams' enthusiastic support of blue-green algae, describing how she came to "truly appreciate the natural biological wonders of this simple algae." In the book's foreword, Dr. Paul Swanson, who practices emergency medicine, states, "One of the greatest changes in the conditions in which humans live has been in what we eat. Humans no longer eat much raw wild food." Dr. Swanson feels that those who eat this algae "gain understanding of a higher human health-the sharp edge of human health that has been lost..." * These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

We have a comprehensive Quality Assurance Program. Extra care is taken when harvesting and processing Super Blue Green Algae to minimize the loss of nutrients. Harvested algae is chilled within minutes to <40°F, then transported to shore in high-speed boats and quickly frozen. We dry algae with an oxygen free atmosphere at very low temperatures-under 105 degrees F. This way, heat-sensitive nutrients are intact. Our Quality Assurance Program calls for thorough testing of 100% of the raw materials and finished products. Not many companies in the industry can make that claim.

SBGA: What is AFA Blue Green Algae?
"The Algae" - Alpha Sun and Omega Sun | |
Alpha Sun Alpha Sun is the whole algae. We call it Alpha Athletic to indicate it's general effects. They are more physical, including increased physical energy, stamina, endurance. The Alpha Sun contains the glyco-protein cell wall and may facilitate cleansing of the tissues. Enhanced immunity, improved joint functioning and many more benefits are reported. The Omega Sun is the Juice of the algae. It doesn't contain the cell wall, it's the intracellular contents, juice where the pulp is expelled. We say Omega OM because people report more mental clarity, improved memory, vivid dreaming, more calmness, improved sleep. We recommend it for mental stability, focus, serenity and blissful feelings (Remember the algae has more PEA than chocolate!)Comes in: You can get the Alpha and Omega separately in veggie caps or mixed up 1/2 and 1/2 in powder called SimplySBGA. Simply SBGA contains an even blend of Alpha Sun® and Omega Sun® in powder form. You will notice how well the Simply SBGA mixes in water and how delicious it tastes. You might find yourself feeling better and drinking more once you add it to your water each day. Notice how the algae turns the water green, turquoise, indigo and fuchsia... HUM guess it feeds your upper chakras. There are benefits we can't mention here - but we look forward to hearing your reports. Give it a chance: It's not a drug it is a food... so it might take some time before you "feel" anything. You might ask your friends and family if they notice any difference in you! Often they notice it before you do! |

Blue green algae is the fundamental basis of the entire food chain. This super food is the foundational nutrient source for creating and renewing all life on earth.
Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (afa blue green algae) is the crème de la crème of algae, one of the planet's most powerful foods. Tucked away in the Cascade Mountains of southern Oregon, fed by a network of mountain streams and springs, anchored in deep volcanic soil and 35 feet of mineral-rich sediment, Upper Klamath Lake is one of nature's most miraculous nutrition resources of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, also known as Super Blue Green Algae.
