Algae are the most nutrient-physiologically rich plants on the planet as they have access to all nutrients in the sea. They can contain up to 10 times more calcium than milk and eight times as much as beef. The chemical composition of algae is so close to the human blood plasma that it is perhaps the greatest advantage of the regulation and purification of our blood circulation. They help to alkalize our blood, neutralize the over-acidification of our modern diet and protect us from a wide range of toxic elements in the environment, including heavy metals, pollutants and radiation.
