"Stage 1: A Igae Land plants are believed to be derived from organisms like green algae (Charales). Although extensive surveys have been conducted (Markham, 1988), flavonoids consistently fail to be found among the algae. Moreover, although several algal genomes have been sequenced, none contain open reading frames that show homology to the coding sequences of any known flavonoid enzymes. The initial evolution of the flavonoid pathway thus probably took place after the colonization of land. 2.1.2." - Erich Grotewold, The Science of Flavonoids (Get the book.)

"However, I'm so convinced of the power of algae and seaweed that I now supplement my diet with capsules and tablets of Klamath Lake blue green algae, spirulina, chlorella, and red and brown marine algae, and other green supplements. But for those who do like their flavor, go for it! Whether you call them seaweed or sea vegetables, these greens (actually, they come in an array of greens as well as red, black, and brown) are wonderfully easy to prepare. Nori, the shiny black sheets used to wrap sushi, can also be used to wrap tuna or chicken salad, sliced avocado, or other "sandwich" fillings." - Dr. Steven R.

"Many people, including Peggy Ramundo, have been helped by vegetable chlorophyll green algae, a natural food that appears to stabilize the blood sugar level, provide amino acids in relatively balanced proportion and trace minerals in assimilable form, as well as concentrated sources of beta carotene and vitamin B12. Ramundo also finds that adults are helped by exercise, "very strenuous exercise, not just your three times a week, 20 minutes of aerobics, but an hour or two hours a day. Adults say it stimulates the action in the brain sufficiently that they do not need to take medicine." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"On some islands, 70 percent of the marine iguanas starved because red algae, nourished by the much warmer water, replaced the green algae that forms the lizards' staple diet. The normally barren islands blossomed with unfamiliar plant growth, which encouraged the spread of introduced pests such as fire ants and rats. After the 1983 event, most native species recovered, but recovery will be much harder in future years because the number of alien species increases each year. Kelvin waves are hard to detect." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"In some of the stores in my neighborhood, the misting gadgets are covered with green algae or encrusted with mold. So wash those lettuces! Washing cannot remove all of the microbes that might be harmful, but it takes care of most of them.

The label explained: So wash those lettuces!" - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.)

"Foods that Reduce Stroke Damage Blueberries, spinach and spirulina (a type of green algae) may reduce stroke damage. These foods have high levels of antioxidants that help neutralize damaging free radicals. Recent study: Rats that were fed diets enriched with these foods for one month prior to an induced stroke had only half as much brain damage as rats that were not fed these foods. This study suggests that including these foods —one cup of blueberries, a big spinach salad or a few teaspoons of spirulina powder—-in your daily diet may make a difference in the severity of a stroke." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.)

"The most common species of microalgae produced and marketed for human consumption is a blue green algae called Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis). While there are great differences in quality between the different farms producing Spirulina around the world, the actual growing process is much easier than growing Haematococcus microalgae. This is because Spirulina grows in a very alkaline environment; growers must add large amounts of baking soda to get the alkalinity in the ponds up to about 10 on the pH scale. This also prevents other organisms from invading the ponds." - Bob Capelli, ASTAXANTHIN: Natural Astaxanthin, King of the Carotenoids (Get the book.)

"One of your most powerful weapons against cancer is chlorella—a unicellular, green algae. This tiny algae packs a powerful punch. In Prescription for Dietary Wellness, Phyllis A.

Due to its dense and nutrient-rich nature, chlorella offers your body a two-fold attack against cancer." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"Red algae, such as dulse, have compounds with the ability to gel foods. green algae are the bridge between land and sea plants, as evidenced by their ability to store food as starch the same as land plants. Of the green algae, nori is the most popular. Brown and red algae grow almost exclusively in seawater, whereas green algae also thrive in freshwater ponds and lakes. The most commonly consumed seaweeds, which grow in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, are alaria, arame, hijiki, nori, dulse, and several kinds of kelp." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Dietary Wellness: Using Foods to Heal (Get the book.)

"Marine organisms known as blue-green algae (though they are more closely related to bacteria than green algae) offer the same (or even greater) potential. They represent one of the most ancient of all living groups of organisms: having evolved almost three million years ago, they may well have been the source of much of the original oxygen in the primeval atmosphere. Blue- green algae (also known as cyanobacteria) often produce highly toxic compounds, the therapeutic potential of which is only now being realized." - Mark J.

"One of the finest superfoods in nature is chlorella, a single-celled freshwater microscopic green algae. I could write a whole book just on chlorella's amazing attributes and practical applications. Capable of reproducing itself four times every 24 hours, chlorella is the fastest growing plant on earth. It also contains more chlorophyll and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) than any other known plant. It's no surprise that chlorella is the number one food supplement in land-scarce Japan, where it is used regularly by 10 million people. Chlorella is being investigated in the West as a "land saver." - Brendan Brazier, The Thrive Diet: The Whole Food Way to Lose Weight, Reduce Stress, and Stay Healthy for Life (Get the book.)

"What has happened is that some green algae (perhaps the one that commercial growers of Natural Astaxanthin use which is called Haematococcus Pluvialis) have suffered stress. The stress is due to a combination of things: Lack of food, an absence of water, intense sunlight and The Astaxanthin Molecule heat, or even bitter cold. As a result of this stress, the algae's cells have hyperac-cumulated the red pigment Astaxanthin. They do this as a survival mechanism?the Astaxanthin serves as a "force-field" to protect the algae from lack of nutrition and/or intense sunlight." - Bob Capelli, ASTAXANTHIN: Natural Astaxanthin, King of the Carotenoids (Get the book.)
