Summary of Research Information:

Gesundheit Phytoplankton was tested in an independent third party laboratory for its total antioxidant capacity as reflected by ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity). This test is an indicator of total antioxidant capacity.  

Gesundheit Phytoplankton was found to have an ORAC reading of 95, a comparable antioxidant level too many anti-cancer foods with higher ORAC levels such as cauliflower, broccoli, and red peppers.

Antioxidants counteract oxidative stress in the body thereby slowing down the damage to cells, tissues, and organs thereby preventing and slowing down the development and progression of chronic disease.  

It has been speculated that the very high cellular assimilation of phytoplankton may contribute a much stronger and more direct antioxidant effect at the cellular level.

The remarkable testimonials with those consuming phytoplankton may be attributed to these antioxidant dynamics.

Phytoplankton is another plant food that may be important for preventing many degenerative disease states. If this foods cellular assimilation is indeed better than other plant food; that may explain some of the remarkable testimonials claimed by many with its supplemental use.

Future clinical studies are warranted to explore the antioxidant potentials of phytoplankton. In addition, intervention trials are required to further assess its health benefits before conclusions can be made.
