Characteristic

Aphanizomenon flos-aquae is an unicellular blue-green alga (cyanobacterium) that spontaneously grows in copious amounts in Upper Klamath Lake (Oregon, USA). It is rich in phycocyanin (PC), a photosynthetic pigment with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In addition, it contains chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals (such as iron, calcium, magnesium), amino acids (such as tryptophan), fatty acids (omega-3 fatty acids) and other nutrients. This makes Aphanizomenon flos-aquae very beneficial for overall health. As a result, Aphanizomenon flos-aquae has been widely consumed as a blue-green algae dietary supplement in many countries around the world since the 1980s.
