Common Questions
These are the most common questions we have regarding our phytoplankton. If you have questions, please reach out to customer service.How long should I take phytoplankton?
This is a life-long wellness asset for you and your family to take aily for life.
What is phytoplankton for?
The philosophy is simple. If you are experiencing a health issue rooted in malnourishment, then by absorbing pure nutrition directly into the cell the body could heal itself. The most notable improvements have been digestive disorders, fibromyalgia, migraine headaches, chronic fatigue, sleeping issues, erectile dysfunction, acne, and eczema.
We understand this is broad, but nutrition is broad, and again, if the cause is nutritional, then it’s logical that nutrition is the solution.
Has there been adverse reactions or allergens?
No. Phytoplankton is free of allergens. It is the plant food for Shellfish; it is not shellfish. People with shellfish allergies can have phytoplankton. The only complaint we have had from customers is that in rare occasions there is some digestive disruptions which in most cases are an increase in bowel movements which can cause concern. This usually subsides in a week, and we consider this a detoxification.
Are there any concerns with toxins or heavy metals found in the ocean?
Absolutely not. We use real Atlantic Ocean water and military-grade filtration, which takes out anything and the result is the cleanest, greenest form of pure nutrition on the market.
Can I take phytoplankton if I am a professional athlete?
Yes! This is food. It is not a controlled substance. We have many customers who are professional atheltes. Also, there is research behind helping muscle recovery.
