Klamath Lake Algae: Wild-Harvested Nutritional Powerhouse for Optimal Wellbeing

*Special offer while we clear some extra stock*

Klamath Lake algae is a unique and highly nutritious wild food harvested from Upper Klamath Lake in Oregon, USA. Unlike cultivated algae like chlorella and spirulina, this blue-green algae is naturally occurring and thrives in the pristine conditions of the lake’s mineral-rich waters.

Key Features

• Wild-Harvested: Klamath Lake algae is the only wild algae collected for human consumption, offering a rare and powerful source of naturally occurring nutrients.
• Pure and Untouched: Sourced from the secluded Cascade Mountains, the lake acts as a nutrient trap, fed by 17 rivers and streams that deliver rich volcanic minerals and silt, creating an exceptionally pure and nutrient-dense environment. Locals refer to them as 'The Rivers of Light'. 
  
• Minimal Processing: To preserve its nutritional integrity, Klamath Lake algae is best when flash dried, ensuring its delicate bioactive compounds remain intact. Algae that has been overheated or frozen may lose its valuable enzymes and nutrients.

Nutritional Benefits

• Rich in Trace Minerals: Provides essential minerals such as boron, calcium, chromium, cobalt, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorous, potassium, sodium, zinc, and vanadium — supporting cellular health, bone strength, and overall vitality.
• Comprehensive Vitamin Profile: Contains a full spectrum of B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12), vitamin C, vitamin E, and essential nutrients like choline, biotin, and folic acid.
• Complete Protein Source: Contains all eight essential amino acids in a highly digestible form — 85% assimilable, compared to just 20% for beef.
• Enzyme Powerhouse: Packed with thousands of live active enzymes, vital for digestion, energy production, and metabolic processes. These enzymes are easily destroyed by heat, making raw algae a potent way to replenish your enzyme intake.
• Highest Source of Chlorophyll: Known for its potent alkalizing properties, chlorophyll supports detoxification, helps correct overacidity, and promotes vibrant health.
• Rich in RNA/DNA: Provides nucleic acids essential for cell repair and tissue regeneration.
• Essential Fatty Acids: Offers important fats that are often lacking in plant-based diets, supporting brain function, hormonal balance, and skin health.
• Natural Source of Beta-Carotene: Provides one of the highest known natural concentrations of beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant and precursor to vitamin A.

Klamath Lake algae is regarded as one of the most complete natural food sources available, providing virtually every nutrient the body requires for optimal function.

This completeness is what sets Klamath Lake algae apart from other nutrient-dense foods like spirulina and chlorella. While those are highly nutritious, Klamath Lake algae's unique wild-growing environment and rich mineral content result in an unparalleled nutritional profile.

Its remarkable density of bioavailable nutrients makes it a powerful yet efficient food source — you only need small amounts to gain a wide range of benefits, further enhancing its value and accessibility.
