E3Live blue-green algae

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Does anyone regularly take some kind of blue-green algae like spirulina or the

new E3Live? I got a free sample at a health food store yesterday, and it seems

like a great supplement, but it's really expensive (it comes as a liquid in a

large vitamin bottle for $25 I think). I haven't done any research into this

and my net connection has been so flaky lately as to make any research very

difficult, so I thought I'd ask if anyone here knows more. If it's somewhere in

the archives, I guess I'll have to wait until my DSL is fixed E3 certainly

looks to be great, but then I'm just reading their marketing materials.

Complete Nutrition From E3 Earth's Essential Elements

The discovery of this ancient strain of blue-green micro-algae Aphanizomenon

flos-aquae (AFA) has led to a new Super Food that contains more protein and

chlorophyll than any other food source. Primitive as algae may appear, most are

highly efficient photo synthesizers, even more so than plants. Algae utilize

light energy from the sun, carbon dioxide from the air, and hydrogen from the

water to synthesize proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. E3 Earth's Essential

Elements grows only in the wild and is far superior to any other algae on the

planet. It is nature's perfect food.

E3 Earth's Essential Elements is unique among all food grade algae's in that it

also metabolizes molecular nitrogen from the air to produce its proteins and

other nitrogen containing bio-molecules. The AFA cell is truly awe inspiring.

Although hundreds of times smaller than the cells of the plant or animal

kingdoms, its wide range of sixty-four micro-nutrients is remarkable and

unsurpassed by any known food. It should be no surprise that the nucleic acids

of AFA algae also bio-stimulate the immune system.
