Phytoplankton

Why You Need It

• Cellular Energy: Provides raw co-factors that help mitochondria (your cellular batteries) produce energy.
• Omega-3 Powerhouse: A sustainable source of EPA and DHA, crucial for brain and heart health.
• Heavy Metal Detox: Contains unique pigments that may help bind to toxins, aiding the body's natural elimination processes.

Deep Dive

Phytoplankton works differently than standard supplements. Because the particles are incredibly small (nanoparticles), the nutrients are absorbed rapidly through the gut lining, bypassing the digestive strain of breaking down complex plant matter. This results in a quick influx of trace minerals like selenium and magnesium, which are often depleted in modern soil. The high concentration of Chlorophyll acts as a powerful antioxidant, combating oxidative stress and supporting skin clarity.

Natural Food Sources

Unlike vitamins found in specific fruits or vegetables, you generally cannot eat 'wild' phytoplankton directly from the ocean due to contamination risks. However, you can consume them indirectly by eating fatty fish (like sardines or mackerel) that have eaten phytoplankton. For the direct supplement benefits, you must look to high-quality, lab-cultivated supplements.

Supplementation

Dosage: Most studies and manufacturers suggest 1 teaspoon (approx. 5g) of liquid or powder daily. Who should take it: Individuals looking for an energy boost without caffeine, those seeking plant-based Omega-3s, or people with digestive issues who struggle to absorb nutrients from standard greens.
