Blue Green Algae
While eliminating environmental toxins as much as possible, AFA blue green algae helps to reactivate every cell of the body. Specifically, it makes the outer surface of cells (cell membranes) more fluid and flexible allowing nutrients in, while more efficiently eliminating waste products. Thus, AFA blue-green algae not only helps eliminate toxins from the body but also helps the body absorb nutrients.
The algae is selectively harvested from Upper Klamath Lake in Southern Oregon, the only place this blue green algae grows in harvestable quantities. This lake is truly a natural phenomenon, as Crater Lake and its tributaries provide it with an amazing array of nutrients.
General Dosage Guide
The suggested adult dosage is 2 grams per day. Begin taking one capsule/tablet per day for the first week, two per day the second week, three per day the third week and four per day the fourth week. This will build up to two grams per day which is the average adult dose. Children under 13 should cut these guidelines in half..The best time to take the algae is first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Some people prefer to split the dose; half in the morning, half in the afternoon. It is not recommended to take the algae at night unless you plan to stay up. Used in the suggested amounts, side effects do not typically occur. Due to the nutrient dense content of the algae, occasionally someone may experience over-stimulation. As the algae also works as a detoxifier, a few people may experience some digestive upset initially. If this occurs, dosage should be reduced by one capsule. On the other hand, if someone feels they aren't receiving the full benefits of the algae, they may want to increase the dosage by one capsule per dose.
It is important to remember that the algae is considered a whole food, so you can eat it with other vitamins, medications or herbs. As always, if you are pregnant, nursing or have any questions or concerns, it is best to consult with your health care provider.
