Last week I told you all about organic blue-green algae: how it’s good for your immune system, how it acts as one of the most complete multi-vitamins ever created, how it’s an excellent source of essential fatty and amino acids, and even how it was actually responsible for transforming our planet into the oxygen-rich, life-supporting place that it is today. And there’s so much more to share about it. When consumed internally and topically applied, it’s incredible for your skin, hair, nails, and teeth. It’s one of the most powerful beautifiers there is.
What makes Blue-Green Algae so Beautifying?
As I mentioned last week, Blue-Green Algae is one of the most nutrient-dense substances on the planet. It’s highly bioavailable, with 96-98% of the nutrients being easily absorbed by the body (in contrast to the average supplement, which is only between 5 and 25% assimilable). It’s also the one food on Earth that contains Phycocyanin, a powerful antioxidant and immune booster, and the actual pigment in the algae that gives it a unique blue-green color. Blue-Green Algae consists of about 65 vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids. It’s rich in calcium, beta-carotene, vitamins B12, B1, B3, B5 B6, C, and E, and Folic Acid. It also contains many trace minerals, including selenium, zinc, manganese, iron, copper, chromium, boron, magnesium, and sulfur. This includes the important skin, hair, and nail nutrients, silicon and biotin. Blue-Green Algae is a good source of nucleic acids, the building blocks of DNA and RNA, and it contains the same eight essential and ten nonessential amino acids as the human body. Not only that, it has the highest amount of chlorophyll and the highest concentration of protein by weight of any food in existence.
Since Blue-Green Algae is such a rich source of highly active bioavailable protein (and hair and nails are made of between 95 and 97% protein) this makes it ultra-nourishing for hair and nails. All of the vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients also contribute to it’s being such a high-caliber beautifier.
Here’s what the nutrients in Blue-Green Algae do for beauty:
- Create healthy skin cells, hair, and nails.
- Improve blood circulation and deliver oxygen to the tissues of the body.
- Stimulate growth of hair and nails, as well as new skin cells.

- Fight free-radicals and remove toxins from the body.
- Help regenerate damaged tissue.
- May help with weight reduction.
- Overall anti-aging effects both inside the body and outside.
Ways to Beautify with Blue-Green Algae
Consuming Blue-Green Algae internally is the best way to receive all of it’s goodness. Last week, I mentioned the best ways to consume Blue-Green Algae. Some of the favorite full-spectrum Green Superfood Formulas that contain Blue Green Algae are Vitamineral Green and Billy’s Infinity Greens. Blue-Green Algae can also be applied on skin and hair for extra nourishing and beautifying effects.
The best way to deliver its nutrients into the skin in a fun and nourishing way, is by applying a Mask. This wonderful Blue-Green Algae Mask is soothing and hydrating.
Also, Morrocco Method Shampoos and Conditioners are the only shampoos and conditioners I use. One reason I love them so much is because they include one of my most favorite ingredients ever, Blue-Green Algae.
Blue-Green Algae is also wonderful for teeth and gum health. The incredible Oral Care Elixir, Oralive, contains Blue-Green Algae.
Blue-Green Algae is miracle food that I love to enjoy daily in food, drinks, and in my skin, hair, and oral care products. It is truly one of the most wonderful beauty foods on the planet.
