Marine Phytoplankton The Power Packed Nutrient Solution for the 21st Century

Ethos Marine Phytoplankton

The Power Packed Nutritional Solution for the 21st Century

An incredible breakthrough in human nutrition has astonished medical experts:

"When you give the body everything it needs to build healthy new cells then you get well."

Where does Ethos Marine Phytoplankton come from?

Ethos Marine Phytoplankton begins its life as live cultures, and then it is reduced down to a paste form, which is further freeze-dried to completely dehydrate it so that there's absolutely no moisture remaining in it whatsoever. It is then in its new form of a highly concentrated 'Super Food' as a dry and completely stable powder. The quality and integrity of all of the nutrients in the algae remain uncompromised as there is no heat or chemicals used in this very special refining process. Compared to most other foods, only a relatively small quantity of phytoplankton is required in order to provide a significant amount of broad-spectrum nutrients which are essential for a truly healthy and balanced diet.

For over three billion years phytoplankton has supported virtually all living creatures in the ocean. It contains a unique combination of life-sustaining nutrients including; Omega 3 essential fatty acids (EPA and DHA), protein, chlorophyll, amino acids, vitamins, minerals and essential trace elements. It makes up one quarter of all vegetation (both land and sea) and, according to NASA, it provides up to 90% of the oxygen in the air that we breathe. The latest scientific research also indicates that it is the most important food source on Planet Earth.

So how do we grow Ethos marine phytoplankton? Not in the Ocean as you may initially think, but on dry land using closed Photo-Bioreactors, PBRs, (pictured here). These culture systems replicate the natural growing conditions found in the wild, but with the added benefit that we can restrict the exchange of gases, water and contaminants between the culture and the outside environment. Photo-Bioreactors have several advantages over open pond systems for the cultivation of micro-algae:

Higher biomass concentrations due to shorter light paths
Greatly reduced contamination
Much better control of physico-chemical culture parameters

For some applications these advantages justify the increased cost of such systems compared to open ponds. Open ponds do not provide conditions necessary for high density algal biomass production because of the variation in light intensity and temperature throughout the seasons of the year. Chen (1996) states that enclosed PBRs have the following advantages over open pond production;

Better control of algal culture
Large surface-to-volume ratio
Better control of gas transfer
Reduction in evaporation of growth medium

The answer was so simple it was staring us in the face all the time!

Have you ever wondered why people who are perfectly healthy at birth go on to suffer critical illnesses or disease, long before they reach the end of their normal natural life span? Medical Doctors now believe inflammation is directly implicated in many of the modern ailments that are causing millions of people pain, disability and premature death.

Inflammation is thought to be caused by constant attack from free radicals and toxins, together with a chemical imbalance in the body. These imbalances (or deficiencies) create physical stress that can lead to damage of the brain, the nervous system, the cardiovascular system, muscle tissue, joints and other vital body organs. The average Western diet contains far too much hydrogenated fat, refined carbohydrates and sugar, refined salt, artificial preservatives and white flour. All these 'foods' are totally alien to the human body. For example, Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease were quite rare conditions until the turn of the last century. Table salt is considered to be a toxic and dangerous cocktail of chemicals that food manufacturers include in almost all of their processed food. Many health care professionals claim that this total disregard for human health verges on criminal negligence.

We suggest that your body is now crying out for the right nutrients, in sufficient quantities, so that homeostasis (balance) may again be maintained. Perhaps some of the complex elements you were born with are missing from your normal diet.
