If chlorophyll is so well-preserved with the new drying process, why doesn the algae look more green?
We want to assure our customers that there have been no changes to the formulas for any of our products that contain Super Blue Green® Algae (SBGA). However, you may have noticed color changes. Although SBGA will always have small variations in color simply because it is a natural wild-crafted product, the more recent color variations are due to changes in our freezing and drying processes. The color (or reflectance) of dried SBGA is influenced by the crystalline formation that takes place during the freezing process. For example, flake freezing creates a different crystalline formation from slab freezing. Prior to changing from flake freezing to slab freezing, we conducted several studies that involved top algae scientists and pigment chemists. The results proved that the amount of chlorophyll in a light green flake-frozen sample is the same as that in a dark green slab-frozen sample. One can even take a light green flake-frozen sample, thaw it, and then refreeze it in a slab, and it
