The Superfood Experiment! Marine Phytoplankton "The Basis for all Life"

Superfoods - by David Wolfe

Ok – If I could only have one of these products – this would be it. Why... because this one superfood contains almost everything we need to survive. Seriously! How bizarre is it that the smallest plant organism on the planet contains all nine amino acids (the ones the body can’t make), the essential fatty acids omega-3 and 6, vitamins A, B1-6 and 12, and major traces of minerals. No wonder it’s called “The Basis of all Life”.

Marine Phytoplankton  – IS the starting point of the Earth’s entire food chain. Not only that, but gram for gram it is said to be the most nutrient-dense alkaline superfood on the planet.  The largest mammal that has ever lived, the blue whale, feeds mainly on Marine Phytoplankton. It is said that this whale has the healthiest nervous system of any living mammal from consuming this food – not only that but it lives between 80 and 150 years, and remains sexually active until death.(...not sure why the author thought this was important, but he is after all a man - right...)

To continue, studies show that this super food contains every nutrient needed for the creation and maintenance of new cells, and it is exactly what human cell membranes need to carry out their metabolism. This I thought was really interesting - this food is 100% bioavailable to the human body - meaning NONE of it goes to waste - some of the healthiest foods out there are only 50% bioavailable. Lastly, like AFA Blue Green Algae and Spirulina, this superfood is over 60 percent protein by weight – WOW - talk about more bang for your buck - below are more fun facts about this amazing superfood!

Known benefits....

• It provides solid consistent energy through out the day, without additional stimulation - (this I've found to be true)

• Helps Improve the immune system

• Has Anti-inflammatory properties

• Because this is a high mineral food you can detoxify the body without demineralization, which means– your body will not take minerals from it's bones and vital organs.

• Helps with weight loss

• Because this superfood contains the smallest size of all micro-algae and several of its nutrients, allowing them to cross the blood-brain barrier, it is able to feed the master glands located deep within the brain, which helps with mental clarity and improved memory. (ok - I desperately need this one..)

• For the Athletes... the chlorophyll intake increases oxygen uptake - meaning more fuel to the muscles, which helps improve performance and endurance.

• Faster recovery due to the combined effects of cellular repair

• Increase in energy and vitality
