This unique species of algae, scientifically called Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA), grows wild in the highly mineralized Upper Klamath Lake in Oregon, USA. It has received serious media attention over the decades: Newsweek magazine reported that this wild wholefood from Upper Klamath Lake has been one of the fastest growing items in the health food market; and it has been described in the British press as the greenfood supplement of choice by various high-profile nutritionists and actors.
The surge in popularity of AFA blue green algae bears testimony to the wide spectrum of health benefits that people have experienced when taking the algae. And while vitamin and mineral supplements have become heavily promoted for nearly a half-century, wild greenfoods such as Klamath blue green algae are now becoming important components of leading-edge nutritional regimes. Healthcare practitioners - including physicians, naturopaths, homeopaths, acupuncturists and chiropractors - are using The Really Healthy Company's algae as part of their patients' nutritional regimes.

AFA wild Klamath Blue Green Algae® is harvested from the highly mineralized Upper Klamath Lake in Oregon, USA, using a unique floating harvester, engineered with state-of-the-art screening and refrigeration systems. The algae then undergoes a gentle cool-drying process to not only retain nutrient integrity but also to concentrate its goodness by up to 20 times.
Every batch of the cool-dried algae is tested for purity by an independent laboratory, and the Oregon Department of Agriculture has a representative in the Klamath area that also conducts spontaneous sampling to further ensure all products meet the standards of food hygiene. In addition, the product has been examined here in the UK and approved as a food.
