Does wild blue green algae contain beta-carotene and glycogen?
Yes! Wild blue green algae is abundant in beta-carotene, which the body uses to produce its own vitamin A. Because the body converts beta-carotene to vitamin A only as needed, there is no threat of toxic build up. Current medical research of beta-carotene indicates further benefits from this nutrient in the area of preventative care. Glycogen, which is the reserve energy stored in our livers, is already present in wild blue green algae. Glycogen is readily converted by the body into glucose for quick energy.
