Detailed List of Nutrients in BAC

The following list, though detailed, remains partial and estimated. It is based on the available value of the "plain" algae at time of writing. "Plain" in this text means that they are standard or common. One can easily grow a "plain" nutrient poor small and yellowish tomato in the desert of Colorado or one can grow a "super" nutrient rich large juicy red tomatoe in a protected and rich soil. The same goes for algae, except that with algae, because of their density, the difference can be gigantic.

The algae in BAC are not "plain". For example, they are grown in a rich "soil" or "base" with an extraordinary rich offerring of trace elements and other required conditions. The difference between an Hawaiian volcanic region, an Australian volcanic region or a Siberian volcanic peninsula is a world apart when it comes to the availability or not of a large number of trace elements, the stuff that life is made of.

As mentioned previously, there is no attempt to list all the nutrients and their exact amount or quantity, for this task is impossible and the list would change with each batch. With naturel foods, even with the best of growing, harvesting and blending technology, one can never achieve standard delivery of nutrients and certainly not on the microscopic level. And that's the way nature is... Actually that's the way our bodies are too... not one of us has the same biochemical make-up and needs.

The values used are quantitative by weight, by units or in proportion to the overall weight. They are not in proportion or in relation to the RDAs. Some value listed as "n/a" are either not available, not applicable, or not present, or not researched by the author. In some cases, I have listed the average of a range rather than the range.

Looking at the nutrients that BAC provides, a well-informed nutritionist can only stare in awe: these are ALL of the nutrients needed by every human body, in near-perfect ratios! It's almost as if Mother Nature herself reached down from the heavens and said, "Here's the perfect food for all human beings..." and gave us micro-algae. They're that impressive.

The only thing that's not impressive about these superfoods is their publicity: thanks to the fact that pharmaceutical companies can't profit from them, the true healing benefits of these superfoods are virtually unknown by Western medical professionals. As you'll see in the sections that follow, this is an extremely unfortunate situation, since the use of BAC in patients can not only prevent millions of cases of serious disease each year, it can actually help the body reverse conditions like cancer. It can even be used as an adjunct "complementary" therapy to help those who choose the Western medicine route and allow themselves to be subjected to chemotherapy, for example.

But before we get into the medicinal uses, let's take a look at how BAC awakens the Genius within!
