Klamath AFA is a freshwater algae supplement from wild-harvested Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, potentially known for the spectrum of nutrients it may contain.*
Grown in the mineral-rich waters of Oregon’s Klamath Lake, this blue-green algae appears to be naturally rich in amino acids, vitamins, trace minerals, and bioactive plant compounds.*
What Does AFA Contain?*
Klamath AFA should deliver a range of naturally occurring micronutrients which could help support daily wellness.*
It contains:*
- PEA (phenylethylamine) – a dietary amine which may be found in small amounts in some plant foods and apparently studied for its possible role in mood and alertness.*
- Vitamin B12 – a nutrient which may help maintain normal energy metabolism and cognitive function.*
- Vitamin K – an element which might play a role in calcium balance and bone structure.*
- Essential amino acids (including arginine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine).*
- Over 11 vitamins, including beta-carotene (vitamin A), B vitamins (including B12), as well as vitamins C, E, and K.*
- Plant-based proteins (approximately 60% of dry weight).*
- Chlorophyll and phycocyanin – plant pigments supposedly studied for their potential antioxidant properties.*
- Essential fatty acids – including alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid.*
- Trace minerals and elements such as calcium, iron, and magnesium.*
Why Consider Taking Klamath AFA?*
It might:*
- Offer a concentrated source of nutrients in a potentially low-calorie format.*
