Blue Green Algae

Blue-green algae are nature's most basic food.  Existing at the beginning of the food chain, it provides nutrition in its simplest form. Blue-green algae have a greater amount of protein than any other whole food.   It provides the essential nutrients for the smooth operation of all the body systems, particularly the brain and nervous system.

Blue-green algae is a very rich source of chlorophyll, highly valued as a detoxifier and blood cleanser.

Studies indicate that blue-green algae can help strengthen the immune system.   Blue-green algae are rich in sulfolipids, shown to increase resistance to viral infection.   Studies at the Leahi Hospital of the University of Hawaii showed extracts of blue-green algae helped increase resistance of human T cells to HIV infection.

The term "Blue-Green Algae" is a little misleading.   This microscopic, photosynthetic organism is not closely related to true algae, such as chlorella and "sea weeds".   Blue-green algae is classified as cyanobacteria, one of the largest groups of bacteria on earth.

Blue-green algae are one of the most primitive and ancient life forms on the planet and are taxonomically considered to be the ancestor of true plants.   Scientists believe an ancient relative of blue-green algae took up residence in another microscopic (but not photosynthetic) organism.   The host organism provided a shelter, and the cyanobacteria provided food via its ability to photosynthesize light into glucose.   This permanent relationship eventually evolved into the development of the green chloroplast, the site of photosynthesis in plants.
