Rediscovery of Primordial Foods in the 1980s
The rediscovery of primordial foods for dietary and health purposes dates back to the 1980s, when nutritionists and researchers began studying the properties of green-blue microalgae, the oldest organisms on the planet.
Studies revealed that green-blue microalgae have numerous protective and preventive properties, both cardiovascular and neurological, as well as supporting and regulating the immune system.
Dietary Supplementation
Dietary supplementation, from 2 to 5 grams per day, is a valuable aid to fill nutritional gaps and improve overall well-being, as it has a balancing and regenerating effect on the entire body.
Green-blue microalgae are also powerful antioxidants and beneficial for the gut, as they nourish friendly intestinal flora.
They are an excellent support for weight management programs, as they improve glucose metabolism and reduce sugar cravings.
Klamath Microalgae: The Last Wild Species
Unfortunately, most microalgae today are cultivated. The only one still growing spontaneously is Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, also known as Klamath algae, from the namesake lake in Oregon, where it still grows wild and uncontaminated.
Klamath microalgae is available in its pure form or in specific nutraceutical formulations.
