Marine Phytoplankton: Truly, the Basis of Our Life, Health, & Our Future


For the first one or two uneventful billion years of our planets’ primordial evolution; our majestic deep blue orb, as presently viewed from space, was cooling and spinning; and ever so deliberately evolving towards something miraculous and sublime...Life. Suddenly, incredibly, it happened! Somewhere around 3 billion years ago, a single-celled micro-organism began this amazing adventure...Today, they are simple known as marine phytoplankton!

Some estimates claim with scientific validity that 70% of our worlds’ oxygen supply comes from this microscopic phytoplankton, and other algae. Their astonishing ability has helped profoundly shape our planet, and nearly all life forms within it. By way of photosynthesis, they are able to convert the sun’s rays, and the nutrients within the surrounding water they are suspended in; and create oxygen, as a by-product; without which life on our planet would not be possible.

Because of their key evolutionary position and longevity, much interest and science has been focused on these microscopic marvels; the least of which, by oceanographic explorers. For several decades now, the research has been developing at a feverish pitch. It is no longer just anecdotal evidence that touts the health benefits of using marine phytoplankton as a viable food source; mainstream science has also overwhelmingly proven this now indisputable fact!  

The findings are in...Incredible; Amazing; Miraculous; Life Saving; and Life Sustaining; these are just the tip of the ice-berg, in terms of praise and powerful health changing benefits!

 Advanced nano-molecular technology combined with spectroscopic nutritional analysis has given us the recent insight to see exactly what kind of ‘nutritional power’ these watery wonders contain. Not surprisingly, marine phytoplankton include an amazing array of our planets most potent and powerful biological substances, of great benefit to our bodies, our brain functions, as well as our world. 

These biological organisms are without equal in both the animal and plant kingdoms for their natural and organic effectiveness; factually, they deliver one of the highest vitamin, mineral, oil, and phytonutrient content per gram; of almost any other substance known!

These marine phytoplankton continue to Amaze and Inspire....

Astonishingly, they contain up to 60% protein by weight, compared to for example 22% for beef. Please note, that once beef is even slightly cooked, it contains half as much protein-11%! Heating, frying, or grilling, basically adding any high heat can destroy almost all of the protein content within animal and fish meats. 

This is one reason why we are over-eating on some forms of protein, particularly meats. We need to eat more of it, the more we ‘crisp’in-it’ by adding way too much heat!

Another marvelous fact about this magnificent microorganism is that they are also considered to be a ‘complete’ protein source. It seems that all nine of our essential amino acids; these protein building blocks, that we cannot produce in our own bodies; are also contained in great abundance in every cell of these marine phytoplankton. Including, almost every other element in the Periodic Table of Elements; each in proper balance, and totally bio-available to you, within seconds to minutes upon ingestion!

Biologically speaking, they are the densest and richest nutritional food source on the planet. Amazingly, people’s lives and health have been transformed and changed forever, when eating this simple yet powerful microorganism on a regular basis-every day.

So, why is it that we haven’t heard that much about them for our own health? Well for one, they don’t have as BIG a voice, or as DEEP a pocket, as the dairy, beef, pork, or poultry industries!

For another, these mighty micro-organisms don’t seem as appetizing or as friendly to eat. Most people prefer their critters dead before they eat’em; even if they are a ‘powerful and nutritious’ microorganism of the Sea. 

We live in a chemical world, confronted by poisons at every turn. These microscopic marvels do double duty as natural detoxifier and purifier within your body. For example, they can even eliminate metal toxins from deep within our bodies, tissues, and organs.

Today, because of our science and technology, we are finally discovering the truth about the Sea, and the true value of marine phytoplankton. They may just become our next ‘evolutionary’ food; while becoming our most effective disease fighting agent.

Marine Phytoplankton: For Optimal Health & Maximum Longevity



Marine Phytoplankton are the greatest super food on the planet for achieving optimum health and maximum longevity. They are called marine phytoplankton because they are ‘plankton’ (floating and suspended) and are found in the sea or ocean; hence the word ‘marine’; and lastly, ‘phyto’ refers to their ability to convert sunlight to oxygen. The word ‘plankton’ is the name we give these microorganisms that flourish in our waters; although technically, ‘jelly-fish’ are also considered a form of phytoplankton.

According to Wikipedia, there are about 5,000 species of marine Phytoplankton; and some have been around for nearly four billion years; making them easily one of the first forms of life on earth. Currently, their numbers in the Oceans have been dwindling worldwide. “A 2010 study published in Nature found that marine phytoplankton have declined substantially in the world's oceans over the past century. Since 1950 alone, phytoplankton concentrations in surface waters were reported to have decreased by about 40%, possibly in response to ocean warming”

There are far too many health benefits in using marine phytoplankton as a source of food to list here in this initial posting. This blog will therefore be dedicated to uncovering the truth and total health benefits of this amazing and versatile ‘oxygen creating’ microorganism.

The future of our health and ecological diversity both on land and within our Seas, will solely be dependent on this highly nutritionally dense phytoplankton. As my inspirational mentor Jacques Cousteau was always fond of stating, well over fifty years ago, “the future of nutrition is found in the ocean".

Without a doubt, marine phytoplankton are considered to be the world’s most nutritional and total food source; meaning, they have all the necessary nutrients your body needs to optimally utilize for maximum physical and brain function.  Your health, well being, and longevity could be dramatically improved, totally, and across the boards, with this one change in your diet.

Let me just briefly list some of the general health benefits of adding marine phytoplankton to your daily diet:

According to Shirley’s Wellness Cafe the list is rather long and impressive. Here is the link and copy of the list available from her website: http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/plankton.htm#rodier

Cardiovascular Health -Supports a healthy heart
Cholesterol -Clinically tested to reduce cholesterol
Blood Sugars -Stabilizes blood sugar levels
Neurological Support -Mental alertness, ADHD, Parkinson’s, and general dementia
Joint Health -Relieves pain and inflammation
Skin Care -Psoriasis ? Dermatitis
Vision -More effective than Lutein
Liver Health -Supports a healthy liver
Sleep -Promotes better sleep quality
Energy -Increases energy
More Omega 3 than fish oil, Antioxidants not found in other products, Phospholipids for cell membranes. It is also good alkaline -8 -8.5 PH

My purpose in keeping this blog going will be to focus on this ONE topic...marine phytoplankton; and truthfully examine their many health benefits; including, the present dangers to our aquatic life forms in our overly polluted and overly fished Oceans and Seas.

My personal opinion regarding this nutritionally enhancing life form is that it will mean the difference between life and death on this planet! Enjoy it's many marvelous health and heeling benefits while you still can. Our Oceans and Seas are being assaulted to death by our consumptive lifestyles and wasteful practices.

Please consider the planets' health, as you consider your own. We are all inextricably linked; nearly all life forms are totally oxygen dependent!

Here is a link to showcase just how much we use-up and waste in our daily lives...IT MUST STOP!
