Description

The new Algotene II capsules provide a more concentrated, salt-reduced Dunaliella salina natural medicine, with approximately double the beta carotene (and carotenoid) content, and approximately 2.5 times the protein (essential mixed amino acids) content. Dunaliella salina is one of nature’s richest sources of dietary carotenoid antioxidants that contains over 10 times the magnesium and beta-carotene content than spirulina. Two capsules can supply more beta-carotene than 1kg of carrots!

Dunaliella salina is a soft wall, easy-to-absorb, single-cell marine microalgae (phytoplankton) that sit at the bottom of the food chain. It is one of the most nutrient-dense, food sources known. Farmed in shallow saltwater lakes with pure sunlight for energy, the algae protects itself from the harsh conditions by producing high levels of mixed carotenoids. The rich combination of carotenoids and green chlorophyll gives Dunaliella salina its distinctive orange-red colour. It contains naturally occurring pro-vitamin A. The nutrients found in Dunaliella salina include vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids, electrolytes, polysaccharides and antioxidants.

Nutritionists and natural health practitioners agree that we need to increase the amount of plant based foods in our diet. The best foods are organically produced whole foods served with minimal processing. Marine phytoplankton is one such food. Although only a tiny single cell, Dunaliella salina is a whole plant that naturally contains a broad spectrum of macro and micronutrients.
