Algae were some of the first organisms to emerge on our planet over three billion years ago. All subsequent life forms have depended upon these single-cell aquatic plants for their survival because algae generate 80% of the global oxygen supply. Being at the beginning of the food chain, algae are an incredible source of densely packed, broad-spectrum nutrition. Algae are approximately 60% to 70% protein, and unlike other plant-based protein, algae’s protein is complete and is thus ideal for humans. The only other source of complete protein, meat, is approximately 20% protein. Moreover, because algae supply enzymes, their proteins are easily digested and absorbed.

Algae also offer a full range of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients—they possess the densest nutrient composition of any food. They are the best food source of beta-carotene and provide both the cis and trans forms of this important antioxidant as well as the less commonly known carotenes xanthophyll and zeaxanthin. Additionally, algae offer remarkable amounts of iron and vitamin B12, making them very beneficial in a vegetarian diet.

Algae are photosynthesis powerhouses, containing more chlorophyll than any other source. This pigment’s cleansing and healing effects have been documented in a multitude of studies, and it is largely responsible for algae’s ability to detoxify heavy metals and other toxins in the body. Moreover, Synergy Production Laboratories’ (SPL’s) Pure Klamath Crystals™ and Pure Spirulina™ both offer an additional blue pigment, known as phycocyanin, which has reported anti-inflammatory and other health benefits. A variety of other phytonutrients in algae, including PUFAs, are believed to offer powerful support to the immune system.

Although the nutritional profiles of our three exclusive algae varieties, Pure Klamath Crystals, Pure Spirulina and Pure Chlorella™, are similar, each of these species has a special nutritional component to offer. Spirulina is one of the only food sources of GLA, the essential fatty acid precursor to PGE1. Chlorella contains CGF (chlorella growth factor) and is the richest source of nucleic acids, including RNA/DNA, available. And Klamath Lake algae metabolize nitrogen to produce peptide molecules that some consider to be precursors to neural transmitters.

SPL’s parent company has been involved in the production of Klamath Lake algae, spirulina and chlorella for over 25 years. During this time, we have helped create many of the proprietary processes that now define the highest-quality algae products. For example, our Synergized^® Algae products are certified organic or pharmaceutically grown, and kosher.

Over a decade ago, we helped to pioneer the use of custom-designed harvesting technology that ensured the purity and specificity of algae gathered on Klamath Lake. Today, we are an exclusive source of state-of-the-art Synergized^® Pure Klamath Crystals. These beautiful, emerald-like crystals contribute a noticeable iridescent shimmer to any dry mixture. Unlike other powdered algae, they also disperse quickly and easily in water and have a very mild taste. (For those preferring to work with capsules, we also offer a smaller crystal and a powder.) These stunning crystals are created by utilizing innovative Refractance Window™ drying technology, which prevents the degradation of Pure Klamath Crystals’ fragile nutrients. Studies have shown it preserves 20% more of the carotenes than the next best drying method.

SPL’s exclusive Synergized^® Pure Chlorella is likewise the purest and most unique chlorella available. Grown in hermetically sealed stainless-steel tanks in a pharmaceutical clean room environment, our Pure Chlorella is never exposed to the open environment, which completely eliminates the need for the common practice of using pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and other chemicals. Nearly all other chlorella products, which are typically grown in outdoor ponds, are treated with these harmful chemicals. At SPL, we control every growing condition to optimize our chlorella’s nutrition, purity and consistency. Synergized^® Pure Chlorella was developed for its unique soft cell wall, offering maximum absorption of all its beneficial nutrients. With its soft cell wall, our chlorella does not need to undergo harsh or aggressive cell wall fracturing processes, which can degrade and harm the highly valuable and sensitive phytonutrients. Synergized^® Pure Chlorella is very mild tasting and dispersible in liquids and is clearly the world’s premier chlorella product.

Synergized^® Pure Spirulina is the most extensively tested and verified spirulina in the world, with organic, kosher, USP, HACCP, cGMP and ISO 14001 and 9001 certifications. Synergized^® Pure Spirulina is custom grown and processed exclusively for SPL. Synergized^® Pure Spirulina was created over a two-year research and development project, resulting in proprietary growing and processing techniques that yield a 100% organic and nutritionally superb product with a very mild taste and easy dispersibility.

All our nutrient-rich Synergized^® Algae are harvested and processed according to the strictest specifications designed to protect their potency. Moreover, they all undergo extensive testing daily during the growth stage and after harvest to ensure that they are the purest, most potent algae available. The valuable antioxidant phytonutrients in algae, including carotenoids and pigments, are easily damaged by oxygen. To fully protect our Synergized^® Algae, we vacuum-package it in USDA-approved foil bags. In every step of algae production, from growing to harvesting to packaging, SPL continues to set unsurpassed standards for quality algae ingredients.
