It is considered a top superfood among many health experts for its positive influence on cognition, physical energy, immune and mental health as well as nutrition for general nervous system functions.
AFA taken as a dietary supplement is known to help alleviate depression, improve memory, reduce inflammation and is well known for its effects at increasing mental focus and concentration.
"AFA is one of few dietary foods that grow naturally in the wild without man’s intervention. It shares this characteristic with wild mushrooms harvested in small quantities by mushroom hunters, and herbs harvested in the virgin rainforests of South America, China, and Africa." Christian Drapeau, Author of "Primordial Food"
What is Blue Green Algae?
Species of cyanobacteria, also referred to generically as "blue-green algae", were one of the first oxygen-producing bacteria on earth and are largely responsible for the evolution of the ecosystem. Today, these species still continue to produce over 70% of all oxygen in our biosphere. While there are many types of blue green algae found all over the earth in both freshwater and marine environments, most all are toxic and inedible for human consumption.
BGA has a nutty flavor and is quite pleasant tasting (in an algae sort of way) compared to chlorella or marine phytoplankton. One of the drawbacks to consuming lots of blue-green algae is that it is usually a bit more expensive than other algae supplements. This is most likely due to the fact that it comes from a limited wild source as opposed to cultivated algae's that are not location specific. But remember, a little bit goes a long way because it doesn't take much to experience the benefits.
Blue Green Algae Health Benefits
Mental Health, Brain and Nervous System Function
There are two unique brain-specific phytochemicals in AFA called phenylethylamine (PEA) and phycocyanin as well as a number of nutrients that help to increase brain power and enhance mood.
AFA algae is also found to contain high amounts of phenylethylamine (PEA), commonly referred to as the "molecule of love" for its ability to naturally induce an optimistic state and provide feelings of euphoria.
Also found in raw chocolate, to a lesser degree, PEA is synthesized from the amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine. Our PEA levels are known to naturally increase when we "fall in love" but can also move up the scale when we are captivated with a project, are sexually aroused or we experience the endorphin rush from a "runners high."
"I've had people who've been depressed for years and years, and literally, within a few days after receiving AFA their depression lifts."
"A wonderful and unique blend for peak performance of body, mind, and spirit that should be included in any detoxification and rejuvenation program. I take it myself daily."
Dr. Gabriel Cousens
Director of Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center
PEA is essentially nature's natural anti-depressant and also causes a rise in dopamine levels in the brain. Phenylethylamine positively influences the areas of the brain that involve mental focus, alertness and our ability to concentrate.
Phycocyanin is a light absorbing stable protein that contains the blue pigment in blue green algae that is recognized for enhancing the function of the brain and central nervous system.
It is very rare in foods but is especially concentrated in the edible microalgae varieties. BGA is the highest known food source, containing twice the amount of spirulina.
Phycocyanin helps draw together amino acids for neurotransmitter formation in the brain, which contributes to its effects at increasing mental capabilities.
