Natural Compounds in Organic Blue-Green Algae
Blue-green algae contains an incredibly high concentration of nutrients. It holds 64 vitamins, minerals and enzymes (all of which are easily absorbed by the human body), and more biologically active chlorophyll than any other known source of food.

Active constituents in blue-green algae also include higher levels of beta-carotene than broccoli, and it is composed of approximately 70% vegetable protein. It’s rich in calcium, iron, vitamins B12, B1, B6, C, and E, as well as the entire spectrum of eight essential amino acids and ten nonessential amino acids. Blue-green algae also contains the important minerals selenium, zinc, manganese, and copper.
The Cultivation of Blue Green Algae
Organic blue-green algae is harvested from oceans or lakes, during peak times of optimal growth. This is normally during the summertime, from June to November. After harvesting, the algae is then put through a filtration process to leave only the most vibrant blooms. From there, it is purified through centrifugation and low temperature air dried and sold as a powder.
