There are two basic theories of how to get people with chronic disease well and keep them that way.  One is that we must find a drug that will substitute for a broken “gear” in the body or to repair the “gears” mechanically (surgery).  The other is to give the body the things it needs to manufacture new cells and let it heal itself.

For those wishing to support the latter theory, it has been difficult to determine what is actually needed to make new cells. People are always saying things like they have a new herb from Africa, or a fruit from China that will magically heal everything. Such findings are often useful for some but not predictable for most.  My feeling has always been that our Heavenly Father would not design a body that requires unusual potions from far away places to make us healthy.

The elements and electrolytes in plankton are almost tailor-made for the human body. It's no coincidence that the composition of human plasma is similar to that of seawater. We arose from the sea and our internal bodies reflect this. Over-reliance on land-based food sources often leads to deficiencies in micronutrients and trace elements.  Our bodies need these elements to perform as nature intended. Left to its own devices, the human body has a marvelous system called homeostasis which keeps all systems in balance. Take away some critical component and the body experiences malfunctions that cause suboptimal performance. Too many malfunctions cause disease.  Phytonutrients exhibit potentially promising effects in human physiology.

There are few products that provide all, or even most, essential amino acids, more Omega 3's than fish oil, Vitamin A, Selenium, Iodine and others than marine phytoplankton. It may be no coincidence that the composition of human plasma is similar to sea water. With our over-reliance on land based food sources, we have developed deficiencies in micronutrients and trace elements.

The nutritional properties from the algae contain over 200 species of marine phytoplankton on land. This allows for a unique blend of phytonutrients which promote proper metabolic functions.

• General Nutrition - Contains ultra-potent lipids to help support brain function

• Cardiovascular Health - Helps support a healthy heart

• Cholesterol - Helps support healthy cholesterol levels

• Blood Sugars - Helps stabalize blood sugar levels

• Neurological Support - Helps support mental alertness

• Joint Health - Helps alleviate joint discomfort

• Skin Care - Helps support healthy skin

• Vision - More effective than Lutein

• Liver Health - Helps supports a healthy liver

• Sleep - Helps improve sleep quality

• Energy - Helps increase energy

• More Omega 3 than fish oil.

• Contains Antioxidants not found in other products

• Phospholipids for cell membranes.

Dr. Jerry Tennant, MD - "While transient sub-optimal nutrition may be forgiven, a constant diet lacking in micronutrients will adversely affect every function, structure, and detoxification functions of the human cell. Good nutrition will enhance the structure and function of all organs in our bodies. Our brains, muscles, hearts, arteries, joints, bones, skin, hair, hormones, immune system, vision, digestion, kidneys, liver will carry out their jobs much better. Metabolically, our lipids, and sugars can be optimized, thus providing more overall energy, minimize weight problems, and improve sleep. These nutrients improve mental function, and memory. They reduce depression, harmful effects of stress, and mood swings."

Dr. Jerry Tennant, M.D.  - "One of those rare products that contains almost everything you need for life (and the rebuilding of a healthy life) is phytoplankton.  It contains the nine amino acids that the body cannot make and must be consumed in our diet (essential amino acids). The essential fatty acids are also present (Omega 3 and Omega 6).  Vitamins A (betacarotine), 81 (thiamine), 82 (riboflavin), 83 (niacin), 85 (pantothenic acid), 86 (pyridoxine), 812 (cobalamin), C, and D (tocopherol) and major and trace minerals are all present in phytoplankton. In short, it contains almost everything one needs to sustain life.  Therefore, it contains almost everything one needs to restore health by providing the raw materials to make new cells that function normally. This is particularly true if one stops putting toxic materials such as artificial sweeteners and trans fats (partially hydrogenated fats) into our body." 

Containing a wide range of trace elements, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, enzymes and cellular materials, marine phytoplankton promotes and maintains optimum health by boosting and supporting all systems within the body. When the body is missing critical components, it is unable to maintain the balance of these systems, and malfunctions (disease) result. Overdependence on land-based food sources often lead to deficiencies in micronutrients and trace elements. The phytoplankton are Nature's gift to assist us on our journey to optimal health and wellness through balanced nutrition.
