Blue Green Alpha Algae

Energy for Your Entire Body

Alpha is whole, complete Algae. Because its cell walls contain a high percentage of glycogen, it provides natural sugars critical for the health and vitality of tissues and cells. Alpha contains high concentrations of easily assimilated, vital, organically chealated minerals, 60% protein, the highest amount of chlorophyll of nearly any food in the world, one of the highest sources of Beta Carotene, a rich source of amino acids which help build neuropeptides and because it grows "wild" , it is genetically superior to other "non-wild" sources of algae. It is truly one of the world's most powerful foods.

Note on Amounts and Proportions

Blue Green Algae is unique among freshwater algae products in that it is harvested from the wild. Since its growing conditions and the nutrients that feed its growth are not artificially controlled, these conditions vary naturally from summer to summer, as with any natural agricultural product. Because of this, the precise nutritional amounts and proportions naturally vary from harvest to harvest. All figures given here are respresentative average figures, and may be listed slightly differently on indiviual batches.


Note On Tables : For all nutritional composition charts, we have used the figure of 1.5 grams, which is equivalent to six capsules. The actual amount consumed will vary from person to person.
