Marine PhytoPlankton - Whales Eat It Why Not Us?
Phytoplankton — the original food source — is now available for human consumption.
400 times more energy than any plant source on earth!
NASA scientists theorize that some 3 1/2 billion years ago, the world was changed forever. The appearance of tiny organisms with the ability to convert sunlight, warmth, water and minerals into protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and amino acids marked the beginning of life.
Phytoplankton — single-cell plants – are the basis of all other life forms on planet earth. They are the ‘vegetation’ of the ocean.
Through photos from space, NASA has shown that Marine Phytoplankton are responsible for making up to 90% of Earth’s oxygen.
A University in Spain researching bio-fuel sources determined that Marine Phytoplankton also contain 400 times more energy than any other plant source on earth
Phytoplankton are the food utilized by the world’s largest and longest living animals and fish. Blue Whales, Humpbacks, Baleen Whales and more all eat phytoplankton and live between 80-150 years while maintaining great strength and endurance and are sexually active until they die.
This food source has eluded mankind until a sea farmer in Northern British Columbia created a 30 million dollar facility, on the edge of the Northern Pacific Ocean, to grow phytoplankton year round to feed his shell fish. He has a patent pending process that recreates the “Spring Bloom” of phytoplankton 365 days a year in an open air environment on the edge of the ocean.
His process is extremely environmentally friendly. When harvesting the marine phytoplankton, Mr. Harper drains the million gallon tanks and recycles the ocean water back into the sea. In this process, he is replacing 4 to 5 times more marine phytoplankton back into the ocean. He is replenishing the oceans with a very viable food source that consumes CO2 and emits oxygen. When he developeda serious health challenge whereby doctors gave him only months to live, he decided to begin eating “his phytoplankton”. He thought “if it is good for my fish, why not me?” Needless to say, his health challenge is no longer.
Phytoplankton is the perfect nutrition for our cells. Dr. Jerry Tennant, M.D., from the Tennant Institute of Integrative Medicine, states “There are very few products that provide all, or even most of the raw materials to make new cells and sustain the existing ones. The problem is that we need all of them at the same time for things to work. One of these rare products that contains almost everything you need for life (and rebuilding healthy life) is phytoplankton.”
Phytoplankton is Mother Nature’s most perfect and complete nutrition. It contains all the essential amino acids, great source of Omega 3’s Vitamin A, Selenium, Iodine….and much, much more. The elements in phytoplankton are essential for the human body. It is no coincidence that the composition of human plasma is similar to sea water. With our over-reliance on land based food sources, we have developed deficiencies in micronutrients and trace elements. Jacque Cousteau stated “The future of nutrition is found in the ocean”.
How can we easily access this nutrition? A environmentally friendly company, ForeverGreen makes an exclusive product called “Frequensea”. It is a pleasurable tasting bio-available liquid that contains not only marine phytoplankton but water soluble frankincense, rose, ginger, Astaxanthin, pure fruit concentrates and more with no artificial preservatives.

Fish Oil Supports Healthy Hearts, Brains Joints and More
A flood of scientific evidence about fish oil points to a startling conclusion that taking high-dose fish oils, which are very rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids, helps support a healthy heart, a healthy brain, a healthy immune system, healthy joint movement, healthy kidneys and much more.
Each grade of fish oil is distinguished from the other by its purity and concentration of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. Crude fish oils are the least expensive and could contain some levels of contaminants including PCBs, DDT and organic mercury.
When choosing a high dose fish oil remember that knowledge is power and not all fish oils are manufactured the same. Some fish oils may even be dangerous when taken in high doses.
With many choices of fish oil available, and with so many pro and con opinions written about each, it is easy to become confused. So when it comes time for you to choose a fish oil make sure you do your homework and choose wisely so that you get the maximum health benefits.
When choosing a fish oil that you will be ingesting in high doses it is crucial that you choose one that is pure and free of contaminants, toxins, and mercury. How can you, the consumer, tell the difference?
Currently there are three grades of fish oil available on the market today:
- Cod Liver Oil
- Health-food grade fish oil, and
- Pharmaceutical-grade, ultra-refined fish oil
Cod Liver Oil
Cod Liver Oil is the lowest quality fish oil and like the name implies it is manufactured from the livers of Cod fish. It has the lowest concentration of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids and may contain the highest levels of contaminants such as organic mercury, PCB’s, and DDT. Cod Liver Oil may also contain a high level of Vitamin A.
Cod Liver Oil is not recommended for high dose consumption. A typical serving of Cod Liver Oil contains 500 mg. of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids.
Health-food Grade Fish Oils
Most health-food grade fish oils are manufactured from fish body oils. Fish oils can be manufactured from a single fish species or from several fish species.
Fish size and their relative rank in the food chain can help us understand the level of contaminants that may be found in health-food grade fish oils. Small fish, such as sardines and anchovies, don’t live long so are less prone to accumulate environmental pollutants. Larger fish, such as salmon and mackerel, are predatory species that live longer so they could contain higher levels of pollutants. If the label says it comes from a particular species of fish, such as salmon, then you can be sure that it probably is health-food grade fish oil.
A slightly more purified type of health-food grade fish oil is available which includes oils that have been subjected to a limited amount of molecular distillation to remove some of the cholesterol. These types of fish oils are usually labeled as “cholesterol-free”.
“Fish Oil Concentrate” is yet another type of health-food grade fish oil. Fish oil concentrates consist of ethyl esters of the fish oil that have been subjected to fractional cooling. The solidified saturated fats are removed leaving behind a more concentrated solution of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. A typical one-gram capsule of thermally fractionated health-food grade fish oil contains up to 500 mg. of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids.
Typical health-food grade fish oils may contain varying amounts of contaminants. In addition, the fractional cooling method does not necessarily remove all the PCB’s or the long-chain monoene fatty acids that may give rise to gastric distress. Due to the varying amounts of contaminants that could still be contained in health-food grade, it is questionable as to whether it is safe at high levels. A typical one-gram capsule of health-food grade fish oil contains approximately 300 mg. of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids.
Pharmaceutical-grade Fish Oil — the newest generation of fish oil.
Pharmaceutical-grade fish oils start with thermally fractionated health-food grade fish oils. These oils are then distilled, using a highly complex refining technology, into fractions rich in long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. According to manufacturers, it typically takes about 100 gallons of health-food grade fish oil to make one gallon of pharmaceutical-grade fish oil.
Individual fractions are then combined to provide a 2:1 ratio of Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) for the finished fish oil product. Scientific studies conducted with pharmaceutical-grade fish oils that used a 2:1 ratio of EPA and DHA reported significant clinical benefits.
Pharmaceutical-grade fish oils are exceptionally low in long-chain monoenes, PCB’s and other pollutants. Pharmaceutical-grade fish oil is believed to be the safest to take in high doses. A typical one-gram capsule of pharmaceutical-grade fish oil will have a minimum of 600 mg. of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids.
Pharmaceutical-grade fish oils are a fairly new product and a good-quality source may be difficult to find. In addition, pharmaceutical-grade fish oils definitely cost more – sometimes twice as much. This increased cost is an outcome of the complex process used to remove impurities. Each step in the refining process adds additional production costs.
For instance, SeaLogix Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil from Trilogy International, starts with health food grade fish oil which then goes through nine additional steps to make it pharmaceutical grade quality. Pharmaceutical-grade fish oils generally taste better and the amount of long-chain monoenes, which cause gastric distress, are dramatically reduced.
