Super Phytoplankton Rx represents the
first time a food like this has been available to the public. Now
this miracle nutrient can be used by everyone to experience the
remarkable restorative powers of the planet's 'first food'
WHAT IS PHYTOPLANKTON?
Plankton can be broadly divided into phytoplankton (plants or photosynthetic
organisms), zooplankton (animals) and bacteria. Phytoplankton carries
out photosynthesis and is the base of the food chain in the ocean.
Zooplanktons are heterotrophic consumers. Bacteria decompose organic
matter into its non-living constituents.
Phytoplankton, often called the grasses of the sea, is microscopic
marine plants. The fact that they are called "plankton"
refers to the drifting life-style. If they were swimming, then the
term "nekton" would be used. "Phyto" refers
to "plants", which are autotrophic. Autotrophs generate
organic matter using external energy. This represents the first
step in the food-chain, and the autotrophic organisms are therefore
called "primary producers". This contrasts with heterotrophs,
which gain energy by breaking down, organic matter (secondary producers
and higher trophic levels).
Phytoplankton, collectively known as micro-algae, is a designation
given to all algae that are too small to be seen with the naked
eye. (The special strains of phytoplankton in Super Phytoplankton
contain 108 billion cells per ml as measured by a special microscope
called a hemocytometer. This is equivalent to 3.6 billion cells
per single capsule). The other groups of algae that inhabit the
seas are the macro-algae, the kelps and fucoids. Phytoplankton provides
the origin of life and nourishment along with sea vegetation in
the world's oceans. Through the process of photosynthesis (photo=light;
synthesis=build), these microscopic, single-celled plants nourish
the entire food web of the oceans. The lives of all animals that
live in the sea depend on phytoplankton for energy and minerals.
Phytoplankton supplies our atmosphere with 90 percent of its oxygen.
Phytoplankton has the unique ability to transform sunlight, inorganic
minerals and carbon dioxide into protein, carbohydrates, essential
fats and countless other phytonutrients into 'Natures Perfect Food'.

THE LIFE AND DEATH OF PHYTOPLANKTON
Phytoplankton forms the basis of the food chain (predominantly
by photosynthesis) on earth. Like their land-based relatives, phytoplankton
requires sunlight, water and nutrients for growth. Because sunlight
is most abundant at and near the sea surface, phytoplankton remains
at or near the surface. Also like terrestrial plants, phytoplankton
contains the pigment chlorophyll, which gives them their greenish
color. Chlorophyll is used by plants for photosynthesis, in which
sunlight is used as an energy source to fuse water molecules and
carbon dioxide into carbohydrates-plant food. Phytoplankton (and
land plants) uses carbohydrates as "building blocks" to
grow; fish and humans consume plants to get these same carbohydrates.

Super Phytoplankton Rx®
Since the early 1980's the concentrations of micro algae have declined
in the oceans in the northern hemisphere causing concern. The scientists
at the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration claim that the
warmer temperature and wind change could be affecting phytoplankton
production. We are fortunate to have discovered a sustainable plankton
food source. The advanced technology used in the manufacturing of
Super Phytoplankton Rx duplicates the Earth's natural processes
while at the same time eliminating any possible contamination from
toxic algae which can occur when an 'algae bloom' occurs or when
the sea water becomes contaminated with heavy metals or toxic compounds
such as PCB's, dioxin or pathogenic bacteria or viruses.
Marine phytoplankton is not a seaweed or marine plant - marine
phytoplankton is a single celled organism." It is the start
of the genetic code on earth (3 billion years old) and the start
of the food chain. Zooplankton feeds on phytoplankton; whales and
other marine creatures feed on zooplankton.
It is also very alkalizing - well beyond what you can do by eating
lots of vegetables People that are on a high protein diet (including
fish) are moving the body into an acidic state. Being acidic makes
it more conducive for diseases to take root. Super Phytoplankton
Rx® helps restore the body's natural acid/alkaline balance.
In addition, it appears to be oxygenating from the inside out (again
marine phytoplankton is responsible for 90% of the earth's own oxygen
production). Also, a key factor in creating an environment within
the body that is not conducive for diseases to take hold and spread.

ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS
Super Phytoplankton Rx contains specific strains of phytoplankton
to provide the optimum nutritional profile for human needs. There
are more than 10,000 different strains of phytoplankton which have
been identified; each with its own unique nutritional profile. Not
all phytoplankton provide the balance of nutrients which is ideal
for human development, especially the lipid profile.
Enerex's unique combination of specific strains of marine phytoplankton
provides over 50% protein containing 22 amino acids, and 24% total
lipids providing:
- 16% EPA and 9% DHA (omega 3)
- 12% palmitoleic acid (omega 7)
- 10% oleic acid (omega 9)
- 7% linoleic, gamma linolenic and arachidonic acid (omega 6)
Super Phytoplankton Rx provides a superior fatty
acid profile including improved bio-availability over fish and vegetable
oils.
Back to the Top
LIPID UPTAKE / BIOAVAILABILITY
EPA and DHA are important constituents of membranes where they
are in the phospholipids portion of the lipids. Phospholipids are
needed for the transport of dietary lipids. Thus EPA/DHA in phospholipids
(algae) is more efficiently used (crosses the blood/brain barrier)
than EPA/DHA in oils or triglycerides (artificial enrichment products).
In other words the organic transfer mechanism is much more efficient
with micro algae. In their natural environment fish larvae feed
on plankton whose lipid is predominately phospholipids. Thus the
EPA/DHA in algae may be more useful than EPA/DHA in fish oils because
the larvae need the phospholipids for transporting and using lipids
in their diet.
Super Phytoplankton Rx represents a significant advancement in
algae production over traditional sea water facilities.

GROWING PROCESS
Super Phytoplankton Rx is grown using sealed photo-bioreactor technology,
preventing any type of contaminants from entering the systems. The
advantages of photo bioreactors over conventional open ponds include
lower contamination, higher biomass concentrations, and better process
control.
The obvious drawback of open-culture systems is the contamination
from competitors, pathogens, and predators. In addition, there are
difficulties in control because of large variations in physical
and chemical parameters. Thus, for the production of high-value
products from a plethora of potential micro algal species, which
cannot be cultured reliably in open-culture systems, incorporation
of efficient photo-bioreactors is indispensable.

SECURE LOCATION
The Super Phytoplankton Rx growing facility is many miles from
any type of fish, shrimp, or shellfish operation and so there are
no opportunities for aquaculture pathogens to be introduced. The
site is used exclusively for growing plants and uses organic techniques,
prohibiting any type of chemical insecticides.
SAFE WATER SOURCE
The water at the facility is NOT ocean water. A well on-site brings
up fresh water from 200' feet. The water is sterilized at 160 F'
(71 C') for 20 minutes, then salts, trace nutrients, and vitamins
are added to create artificial seawater. There are no vectors for
seawater pathogens or heavy metals.
STATE-OF-THE-ART TECHNOLOGY
A variety of technologies are used for cleaning and sterilizing
the water. These include micron filtration, UV light irradiation,
and ozone gas saturation. These will effectively kill any type of
virus or bacteria in the water. All of the water at the facility
is 100% re-circulated and passes through the sterilization process
on a constant basis. A custom designed computer monitoring system
maintains all of these systems to ensure complete sterilization
of the water.

CENTRIFUGE
The Super Phytoplankton Rx cells are harvested using large centrifuges
that generate over 5,000 gravities. This does not damage the cells.
This process ensures that the algae will not be contaminated by
a new living species such as from an algae bloom, which can occur
when phytoplankton is produced direct from sea water.
VIRUS AND BACTERIA FREE
Super Phytoplankton Rx is certified free from virus and pathogenic
bacteria. Vectors for contamination are eliminated by "state-of-the-art"
technology, the site's location, and the growing process. Super
Phytoplankton Rx® is not axenic (100% bacteria free). Algae
cultures have a symbiotic relationship with certain types of bacteria
which are necessary to break down key nutrients; however none of
the bacteria in the algae is harmful to animal or marine organisms.
DRYING
The centrifuge stage produces algae 'paste' containing about 30%
algae. This 'paste' is then sent to a 'state-of-the-art' GMP compliant
drying facility where the moisture content is reduced to less than
6% without the use of heat or solvents. The resultant algae are
now in a powdered state and ready to be blended with kelp or other
foods.
Back to the Top
BLENDING WITH KELP
Enerex's proprietary formula blends the Super Phytoplankton Rx
with Pacific Kelp. Pacific Kelp is another of natures 'super foods'
Pacific Kelp is a superior source of organic trace minerals. Sea
plants, most notably Ascophyllum Nodosom (kelp), have long been
recognized as a superior source of vitamins, minerals and other
essential nutrients. Kelp contains over 60 essential minerals and
trace minerals and being a sea plant, these nutrients are in the
most bioavailable form possible, making kelp the finest source of
organic minerals on the planet. Organic minerals are the only form
of mineral that the body can incorporate directly into the cells
and tissues, and organic minerals are only provided by plants, with
kelp being the most potent and most complete form.
When our special strains of phytoplankton are blended with kelp,
the result is the most advanced 'superfood' possible. The important
cellular nourishment provided by this unique formula will dramatically
assist the body's ability to heal itself and should become a regular
part of a healthy diet for long term good health.
