This tiny aquatic plant offers 60% all-vegetable protein, essential vitamins and phytonutrients such as the antioxidant beta carotene, the rare essential fatty acid GLA, sulfolipids, glycolipids and polysaccharides.
Its deep green color comes from its rainbow of natural pigments - chlorophyll (green), phycocyanin (blue) and carotenoids (orange) - that harvest the sun's energy. Easy-to-digest so nutrients are absorbed quickly.
Here is some info on it....Wondering if anyone here has taken it or knows anything more on it ???

I take it regularly. I notice a lot more energy. I hate the taste so I put it in capsules. Some people have been known to be allergic, so try a small amount first and watch for reactions.
