"The most complete brain food in the world, Klamath Blue Green Algae® helps the body to increase cognitive efficiency. It is a superior source for almost all vital materials."

  The Really Healthy Company's Wild AFA Klamath Blue Green Algae® (Aphanizomenon Flos-Aquae) grows wild in Upper Klamath Lake in the US state of Oregon. For centuries, this algae has traditionally been a source of nutrition for the Native American population living in the area, but it has only been since the 1990s that it has been available here in the United Kingdom.

Klamath Blue Green Algae is now recognized as one of the most nutrient-dense wholefoods, able to give the body a level and quality of nutrition which both the Western deficient modern diet and artificial supplements are unable to deliver. For this reason it is now an increasingly popular and recommended food supplement. There are many reasons given below why Klamath Blue Green Algae is known as the King of Algae, but in the end each of us has to experience it for ourselves!
     
  One of the most nutrient dense wholefoods containing bioavailable vitamins, minerals and amino acids.
     
  Freeze-dried to retain nutritional integrity including enzyme activity (most algae harvesters use cheaper spray-drying methods which damage the nutrients). Freeze-drying also concentrates nutrients by up to 20 times, making this algae much more nutritionally valuable than frozen liquid brands.
     
  Just two capsules or 1 gram contains 8µg of bioavailable Vitamin B12. In fact, it is one of the only vegetable sources of this important vitamin. (Spirulina has analogue B12 which is unusable by the body.)
     
  Contains 1.4mg (2260IU) of Beta-Carotene per gram.
     
  Each batch is rigorously tested for quality and purity. It has also been tested by a government lab here in the UK.
     
  Undergoes a unique filtration system that separates off 100% of the microcystin content. (No other AFA brand undergoes this process.)
     
  Certified organic by Oregon Tilth. (In Europe, however, it is not legal for us to market it as organic as Brussels has recently decried that nothing grown wild can be labeled as such.)
     
  68% high quality protein, more than animal sources.
     
  Each gram contains 30mg of chlorophyll. (Spirulina contains 11.5mg per gram, Chlorella 28mg, Barley Grass 14.9mg and Wheat Grass 5.5mg.)
     
  An alkaline food - most foods have an acidic effect on the body.
     
  Contains only 4 calories per daily intake of 1gram.
     
  This algae has a soft cell wall which makes the nutrients 98% assimilable.
     
  Helps to integrate brain and body function.
     
  Contains no GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms).

The above is the full nutritional profile of Klamath Blue Green Algae. Many of the nutrients are present in very small amounts which is why they are not listed on the product label. However, because the algae is so easily absorbed, and because these nutrients are in an organic form, they may be more significant than the absolute figures suggest. Remember that Klamath Blue Green Algae is a wholefood and should not be compared with the artificial pills available in health food stores, which some evidence shows may be harmful in certain concentrations.
 
  AFA Klamath Blue Green Algae® is imported to the UK by The Really Healthy Company and is available through good healthfood stores and pharmacies. Just look for the distinctive turquoise label. (If for any reason your store does not have Klamath Blue Green, they can certainly order it for you.)
