What are Microalgae? The Power of Nature’s Hidden Nutritional Gems

Our planet already provides all the necessities for a healthy human life, including complete nutrition.

The Earth, in its abundant generosity, provides everything necessary for human health and vitality, including complete nutrition. It’s a life-giving resource that blankets the Earth’s surface in a fine film, invisible to the naked eye. While modern societies may have overlooked its value, ancient civilizations like the Aztecs, Mayans, tribal Africans, and even the largest mammals, such as whales, have long recognized and utilized this potent food source. These plant cells are known as microalgae – the most nutritious food source available to man.[1].

Microalgae: The Miniature Nutrient Factories

Microalgae, the tiny plant cells that constitute this film, are akin to miniature factories, producing an impressive array of nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, proteins, and enzymes. Certain species even surpass the nutritional density of bee pollen, the most nutrient-dense land-based food, offering more nutrition per ounce than any other known food source [2].

Earth is home to more than 25,000 varieties of algae, including a vast number of microalgae, with new species being identified annually.

These organisms often possess a greater density of chlorophyll compared to any other plant species, and their RNA and DNA structures are highly intricate. Certain microalgae serve as a comprehensive source of protein, boasting substantial quantities of beta-carotene (a precursor to vitamin A), all B vitamins, as well as vitamins C and E, and a plethora of minerals in sufficient proportions to deem them an ideal food source. Notably, the profile of essential amino acids found in algae closely mirrors the requirements of the human body. [3] [4].

Microalgae’s Multifaceted Benefits:

Heavy metal removal

Certain microalgae are effective in eliminating heavy metals like lead, mercury, copper, and cadmium from the body.

Protein source

They also outperform traditional protein sources like soybeans, corn, and beef in protein yield. For instance, Spirulina algae alone could potentially double the complete protein available to humanity, yielding 20 times more protein than soybeans and 400 times more than beef per acre [5]. It’s macronutrient makeup consists of 71% protein, 17% carbohydrates, and 7% fat.

Boosting Immunity

Microalgae also offer a range of health benefits, from stimulating the immune system, improving digestion, detoxifying the body, enhancing growth and tissue repair, to protecting against radiation and degenerative diseases.

Support liver for detoxification

They can strengthen the liver, the body’s primary detoxifying organ, and have a beneficial effect on conditions like arthritis and hypertension. A unique combination of molecules, known as the controlled growth factor, provides a noticeable increase in sustained energy and immune health when consumed regularly [6].

Other health benefits

Many microalgae have beneficial effects on arthritis and hypertension. One of the most important benefits comes from a combination of molecules called Controlled Growth Factor (CGF). Controlled Growth Factor (CGF) has been found to have beneficial effects on both arthritis and hypertension. For arthritis, CGF has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce swelling and pain in the joints. It stimulates tissue repair and improves cellular functions, which can aid in the healing of damaged joint tissues. For hypertension, CGF can help lower blood pressure levels. It stimulates the production of various cells and factors that can help regulate blood pressure, such as T cells and interferon. Additionally, CGF improves nutrient intake and regulates the production of enzymes, which can contribute to overall cardiovascular health.[9] [10]

The Importance of Microalgae Source:

When sourcing microalgae, especially for human use, it is critical to minimize contamination risk by using closed photobioreactors, rigorous testing for toxins and metals, proper processing techniques, selecting species less prone to accumulation, certifying through reputable third-party auditors, and working only with established suppliers with strong safety controls in place. Starting with uncontaminated cultures and maintaining proper controls throughout growth and processing is key. [11].

Biosuperfood, the most powerful blend of microalgae

Microalgae, Earth’s hidden nutritional powerhouse, hold immense potential for human health and nutrition. Biosuperfood Microalgae concentrates hold extraordinary nutritional properties that are enhanced by highly refined, innovative growth technologies, grown in a controlled environment, and harvested at the peak of their nutrient content to ensure maximum potency. The blend is designed in ideal proportions, and the benefits of the resulting synergistic nutraceutical exceed by far any other single alga, algae blend, green food, or superfood. With Biosuperfood’s meticulously formulated blend of four triaged microalgae, we can harness the full power of these miniature nutrient factories.

Dr. Michael Kiriac’s extensive research and the 30-year history of Biosuperfood’s use in agriculture and human health attest to its potency. By incorporating microalgae into our diets, we can tap into a rich source of complete nutrition and unlock the path to optimal health and vitality [8].

If you’re interested in learning more about this award-winning formula, you can delve into the science behind it. Numerous studies and testimonials attest to its effectiveness, making it a valuable addition to any health regimen.
