The nutrient powerhouse that stimulates the immune system, boosts brain power and guards against disease.

Many of you have asked what the components are of Blue Green Algae. The body is capable of utilizing virtually all of the algae's nutrients. When making a conventional multiple vitamin with mineral, the body is capable of utilizing virtually all of the algae nutrients. When taking a conventional multiple vitamin with minerals, the body may only absorb a small fraction of the actual nutrient dosages.

The component of AFA algae is as follows:

Minerals. One of the greatest contributions of Blue-Green AFA algae is a full spectrum of minerals. Minerals are the framework for our bodies, critical to our overall mental and physical well-being. Bones, teeth, muscle, blood, nerve cells, tissues and internal fluids all contain varying quantities of minerals. They help to build the skeletal structure, regulate the heart, balance internal pressure of body flies, nerve response and oxygen transport from the lungs to the tissues. Minerals act as a catalyst for many biological reactions within the body including muscle response, digestion, metabolism of nutrients in foods, and transmission of messages through the nervous systems. Minerals help to maintain the body's delicate water balance, allowing the mental and physical processes to function properly. They keep blood and tissue fluids from becoming too acid or too alkaline, the balancing the body's PH. Minerals permit other nutrients to pass into the bloodstream.

The problem with minerals, however, is that they can only be supplied through the food one eats. The different minerals in AFA are Boron, Calcium, Chloride, Chromium, Cobalt, Copper, Fluoride, Germanium, Iodine, Iron, Magnesium Manganese, Molybdenum, Nickel, Phosphorous, Potassium, Selenium, Silicon, Sodium, Tin, Titanium Vanadium and Zinc. These are not present in any toxic amounts.

Proteins and amino acids. Wild blue-green algae is an exceptionally high source of proteins (60%) nearly identical to the human body's protein composition. The quality of the protein in AFA algae is superior to that of most other plant or animal protein sources, being derived from all eight essential amino acids. It is important for general good health of the skin, hair, nails, brain, ligaments, bones, teeth, hormones, sex glands, and enzymes that we eat foods with. If one of the eight essential amino acids is missing, then the body cannot make protein.

The essential amino acids that AFA has is isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, tryptophan, threonine, phenyalanine, and valine. The semi-essential amino acids that AFA has are arginine and histidine. The non-essential amino acids that AFA has is Alanine, aspartic acid, cystine, glutamic acid, proline, serine, and tyrosine.

AFA is rich in all kinds of botanical pigments. A pigment is a molecular capsule of absorbing wavelength of light which is then reflected as a recognizable color. AFA has Chlorophyll – a permanent pigment. Chlorophyll is the livelihood of AFA algae. It is similar in molecular structure to heme, the oxygen carrying and pigment of human blood. Phycocyanines are present in AFA. Phycocyanin is the pigment which gives wild blue-green algae its blue base. It is a protein which has been shown to inhibit the formation of "cancer colonies". These pigments operate with billirubin to keep the liver functioning. Phycocyanin helps draw gogether amino acids for neurotransmitter function, which may increase mental capacity.

Wild blue-green algae contains approximately four percent RNA/DNA. The RNA/DNA (nucleic acid) is needed for growth of body tissues and to make new cells, repair damaged cells, and for growth of body tissue. As people get older, the levels of RNA/DNA decrease. If you do not have enough RNA/DNA, you may suffer the consequences of a weak immune system and ultimately age prematurely. Inferior eating habits, pollution, and stress can deplete your RNA/DANA quotient. Keeping the RNA/DNA levels at a consistent level is important if you want to retard your cells destruction, enhance immunity, and regenerate your body.

Lipids, through essential fatty acids, are highly represented in blue-green algae. These lipids are critical for life itself and provide the most concentrated source of energy for the body. Fatty acids function as carriers for vitamins A, E, and K. Lipids within AFA can prevent the skin and other bodily tisssues from becoming dry and scaly. The omega-3 fatty acids are known to help prevent heart diseasse, reduce serum cholesterol and raise HDL (good cholesterol) in addition to improving brain function.

Wild blue-green algae is one of the highest known natural sources of beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is a powerful antioxidant and anti-infective protective agent against skin disorders, night blindness, allergies, and immune system dysfunction.

Finally, AFA – with its particle L-selectin Ligan – releases adult bone marrow stem cells from the bone marrow of people who take it. Stem cells are the center of the universe for the immune system and can control with help all immune cellular in antibody function.
