What is Marine Phytoplankton

Marine phytoplankton is comprised of countless tiny plant-like cells called “micro-algae”, which naturally transform sunlight, raw inorganic minerals and carbon dioxide to become the world’s super-food. About the size of red blood cells, they form the foundation of the food chain for all other multi-cellular marine creatures – from sponges to whales. Phytoplankton is nature’s perfect and complete food, packed with nourishment that can not only sustain all life but also add phenomenal nutritional benefits, unmatched by other foods.

Marine phytoplankton contributes over 70% of the planet’s oxygen production while providing a complete source of nutrition: proteins, vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, trace minerals, pigments, enzymes, chlorophyll, essential fatty acids, omega-3 oils and more. When consumed, these microscopic cells are instantly digested and their nutritional goodness rapidly incorporated into cells, tissues and organs – including vital nutrients like vitamins B12, C and E, magnesium, chlorophyll and potassium to name a few.

Not only does phytoplankton have all the vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, antioxidants and amino acids required for good health, it is so nutrient dense that only small amounts are required to deliver significant nutritional benefits. And since it contains all the minerals found in human blood – in nearly identical concentrations – it offers us a source of minerals far superior to that of any other foodstuff!
