Pure Marine Phytoplankton Nannochloropsis Gaditana Ethos Marine Phytoplankton is a completely natural whole food and not a formulated health supplement and the nutrition contained in it is very highly concentrated compared to most other human foods; it contains 400 times more energy than any other organic matter. This means that only a relatively small amount is required to achieve its extraordinary benefits including: Eye Health: The presence of astaxanthin in phytoplankton may promote eye health and reduce the risk of age-related eye conditions. Nutrient-Rich: Marine phytoplankton is a dense source of essential nutrients, including vitamins (e.g., B vitamins), minerals (e.g., magnesium, iron), amino acids, and antioxidants. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: They contain significant amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are beneficial for heart and brain health. Cellular Health: Phytoplankton is a source of chlorophyll, which may support cellular health and detoxification processes in the body. Antioxidant Properties: Phytoplankton contains antioxidants like beta-carotene and superoxide dismutase (SOD), which can help protect cells from oxidative stress. Energy Boost: The nutrients in phytoplankton may contribute to increased energy levels and vitality. Immune Support: The various compounds in phytoplankton help's support the immune system by providing essential nutrients and antioxidants. Alkalizing Properties: Phytoplankton can have an alkalizing effect on the body, helping to balance pH levels. Detoxification: Chlorophyll in phytoplankton can aid in detoxification by binding to toxins and facilitating their removal from the body. Bioavailability: The nutrients in marine phytoplankton are highly bio available, meaning the body can absorb and utilize them effectively. Fish oils are not easily digested by everyone, but that is not the only reason why phytoplankton is far superior to fish oils. Two key nutrients (EPA and DHA) only achieve optimum levels of bio-availability for the human body when they are present in the phospholipids portion of the fats (lipid is a fat) and are much better absorbed than the EPA and DHA in fish oils because they can cross the blood/brain barrier much more easily and effectively.
