Phytoplankton has been around for nearly 3 billion years, and is the basis of all life formed on earth. Transforming CO2 into oxygen, it is responsible for creating the earth’s atmosphere, and allowing life to flourish. This powerful microalgae is bursting with all the nutrients needed to sustain life on the cellular level. Every life-giving molecule that makes up the entire planet can be found in different strains of Marine Phytoplankton. The nano-sized nutrient particles are easily absorbed by the body, and quickly ready for use on the cellular level. The Sunfood Difference Using the latest technology and after years of natural selection, we’ve developed an ALL NEW FORMULA of Oceans Alive® Marine Phytoplankton. This advanced formula contains more SuperOxide Dismutase (SOD) than ever before. SOD is an incredibly potent antioxidant enzyme produced by virtually every cell in the human body; it reduces free radicals formed during normal metabolic cell processes, and protects against oxidative damage. SuperOxide Dismutase (SOD) Oceans Alive® 2.0 is loaded with SOD - an incredibly powerful antioxidant enzyme. Naturally occurring in the human body, SOD protects virtually every cell from harmful free radical toxicity and may also act as a powerful anti-inflammatory. SOD has been known to defend against oxidative damage in cellular, cardiovascular, mental, and immune systems caused by oxidative stress. Unlike antioxidants found in food, which are ingested to seek out and eliminate toxins, SOD works harmoniously with the body's systems and the antioxidants which naturally occur in it to prevent potential contamination. Dark Glass Bottle Packaging Marine Phytoplankton may be taken either on the back of the tongue or sublingually, two or more times each day, beginning with 2 drops at a time and building up to one dropper full (1/4 tsp). You may also mix it into your favorite beverage. Some people who have fragile health can feel a big benefit from just one single drop and should slowly ramp up the amount consumed. Most people use 15 drops per day for maintenance. Others who are looking to overcome a health issue will take up to 75 drops in a day. Pregnant women will also take large amounts of Marine Phytoplankton to help support a healthy baby. Most people enjoy taking Marine Phytoplankton when it is added to a glass of coconut water, their favorite juice or a small amount of water. Some people who are used to concentrated green foods will take it directly under the tongue; however for most people, this is quite strong. The more you spread the consumption of Marine Phytoplankton throughout the day, the more benefit you enjoy but it is easiest to take once in the morning on an empty stomach. It is important to consume it within a few minutes when you are adding it to juice. The sooner you consume it, the more benefit you will enjoy.
