well this article is biased towards AFA algae okay that being said my question is 1) do they really ADD stuff to spirulina after processed? 2) i don't mind it being grown artificially ( at least it won't have heavy metals) but which company grows it artificially? 3) as far as "salinity" for the artificial ponds, what kind of "salts" do they put in there a) regular salt or b) sea salt and how much? that all being said i do love spirulina i thought however that spirulina already has all that stuff without more nutrients being added to it... seems kinda weird Re: spirulina AFA comparison

Date: September 22, 2014 02:02AM Spirulina is not as absorbable as AFA. I generally don't take it because l feel the absorbability is lower than claimed by companies, and now people like Dr Clement is saying the same thing.
The AFA has more blue pigment in it for brain function. The AFA has EPA long chain fatty acids. The AFA has highly bioavailable omega 3 ALA, and when combined with a food with a saturated fat background (coconut oil) and the meal is kept low on omega 6's the conversion of EPA/DHA long chain fats are greatly enhanced. Imo the AFA is greatly superior, but the real issue is that the lake it comes from is widely reported to be toxic.

The bioavailability of what? I would imagine that using coconut oil with spirulina and chlorella would enhance bioavailability as well. Phycocyanin, which offers some of the major benefits of spirulina is water-soluble so that should be easily absorbed. The chlorophyll, carotenoids, and other fat-soluble phytochemicals are likely less absorbed, but that brings me back to the idea of using coconut oil with the algae's. Edited 1 time(s).
