Klamath AFA Algae

Vitamin B12 contributes to

• reduce fatigue / tiredness
• the normal function of the nervous system
• regular psychological functions
• regular red blood cell formation
• a regular immune system
• cell division
• a regular energy metabolism
• a regular homocysteine ​​metabolism

The recommended daily dose has been raised from 1.0 to 2.5 micrograms by EU directive as of 11/2009. If foods are described as "rich in vitamin B12", they have to contain at least 0.75 micrograms (mcg) thereof per daily dose.

Our AFA algae consist of 63% protein, including all 8 essential amino acids, among others.
Over 40 minerals, mostly bound to enzymes, have been found in AFA algae (about 7% of the overall mass). In addition, they contain about 7%  polyunsaturated fatty acids. The carbohydrate content is also at about 7%. Vitamins make up about 3% (mainly vitamin B12).
Chlorophyll, trace elements, pigments and other components make up the remaining part. Our Afa algae are OTCO-certified (approved American organic-seal) and each batch is tested for possible microcystins.

AFA Algae (Aphanizomenon flos aqua) are the origin, the so-called genetic prototype, of the process of photosynthesis, right at the beginning of the food chain.

They are the only organisms known to have retained their original perfect cell structure. Even natural catastrophes, climate changes and radioactive radiation have been unable to harm them in the course of time.

This remarkable algae is one of the most elementary and holistic food sources on our planet. It is dried at room temperature. This gentle drying process preserves the algae's vital energy and its nutrients.

The blue-green plant is rich in chlorophyll, 23 different amino acids (among them all 8 essential ones), lipids, minerals, and a variety of natural vitamins.

Our AFA algae are harvested very carefully at the time of greatest prosperity with special boats.
They are then carefully spray dried immediately and without intermediate storage in just 2-3 minutes at 40 ° C.
The sensitive ingredients and the natural cell viability and structure remain.

Lake Klamath has been classified, according to official measurements, as free from pesticides and contains pure drinking water. The wild algae are sieved off when they are in full bloom. They are carefully harvested in special boats and spray dried at about 26 degrees Celsius. Due to this gentle preservation process, the plant cells can be preserved as a whole.

Our algae powder is then pressed into 250 mg tablets without adding any other additives or thickening agents.

Vitamine sind für den Organismus für alle lebenswichtigen Funktionen essentiell und müssen, da unser Stoffwechsel sie nicht (bedarfsdeckend) herstellen kann, mit der Nahrung zugeführt werden.

VITAMIN B 12 spielt eine wichtige Rolle bei der Zellteilung, der Blutbildung und der Funktion des Nervensystems; ein Mangel hat Störungen der Zellteilung im gesamten Organismus und Schädigungen des zentralen Nervensystems zur Folge; der Bedarf wurde von der EU 2009 von 1 auf 2,5 Mikrogramm hochgestuft, in vielen Ländern ist er jedoch noch wesentlich höher (USA: 6 Mikrogramm pro Tag).

Aminosäuren - Als proteinogene Aminosäuren werden alle Aminosäuren bezeichnet, die die Bausteine der Proteine von Lebewesen sind. Bei den proteinogenen Aminosäuren handelt es sich stets um α-Aminosäuren. Von den 20 proteinogenen Aminosäuren werden 12 vom menschlichen Organismus bzw. durch im menschlichen Verdauungstrakt lebende Mikroorganismen synthetisiert. Die restlichen 8 Aminosäuren sind für den Menschen essentiell, das heißt er muss sie über die Nahrung aufnehmen.

Mineralstoffe sind ebenfalls essentielle, anorganische Nährstoffe, welche vom menschlichen Organismus nicht synthetisiert werden können und daher mit der Nahrung aufgenommen werden müssen.
