Six Health Benefits of Phytoplankton

 

Immune System Support

Growing evidence suggests that marine phytoplankton bolsters the immune system. Studies indicate that the micro-algae can stimulate the activity of the macrophages, the cells responsible for detecting and destroying pathogens.

 

Detoxifying

Phytoplankton is the best bioavailable source of superoxide dismutase (SOD). SOD is the body’s most powerful antioxidant enzyme that plays a critical role in reducing oxidative damage and inflammation, and it’s been shown to be an effective heavy metal detox agent. Oxidative stress is linked to a range of health issues, including ageing, inflammation and diseases like cancer. The antioxidants in marine phytoplankton such as chlorophyll and SOD contribute to cellular health and longevity.

Liver Boost

Phytoplankton can be absorbed on a cellular level, so the body doesn’t have to rely on the digestive system or liver for processing. This not only helps the body obtain necessary nutrients when liver function is impaired but can help restore liver health without taxing the body’s detoxification pathways.

Cellular Regeneration

Supplementing with phytoplankton can strengthen cell membranes and trigger your body to regenerate current cells and create healthy new cells. The strain called Nannochloropsis gaditana, many times smaller than a red blood cell, contains more than 65 compounds, including all the amino acids, all the essential fats, vitamins, key minerals, trace elements, rare antioxidants, phospholipids, electrolytes, nucleic acids, enzymes and  coenzymes.

 

Heart Help

The fatty acids EPA and DHA are attached to phospholipids which are recognized by our sells hence 100% absorption not found in any other micro algae. Many fish oils have been found to be rancid, so marine phytoplankton has enormous advantage over fish oils, plus are suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Energy Boost

Marine phytoplankton has potential to increase energy levels. The nutrient dense composition provides everything needed for cellular energy production, like amino acids and magnesium. These elements play a role in the synthesis of ATP and as a result, in enhancement of physical and mental energy levels.
