Marine Microalgae (Phytoplankton)
Spring Bloom
Marine microalgae, also known as phytoplankton, comprise hundreds
of species of photosynthetic, unicellular organisms belonging
to the Kingdom Protista. Temperate coastal waters, such as
those along British Columbia (BC), are highly productive and
support a diverse array of microalgal species from numerous
Classes, including the primary producers called diatoms (Class
Bacillariophyceae). Every spring, when conditions of light,
nutrients, and mixing are optimal for growth, diatoms grow
rapidly in the euphotic zone (upper 20 m). This event is known
as the “spring bloom”. During this period, many
species take advantage of the enhanced conditions but generally
three diatom genera are the most successful – Skeletonema,
Thalassiosira, and Chaetoceros. Essentially, spring bloom conditions
are reproduced by Unique Sea Farms in a controlled environment,
and this diversity of species is represented in the product
UMAC-CORE.
Core Benefits
UMAC-CORE is powerful because our extraction process combines
the benefits of phytonutrients with a natural and balanced
composition of sea minerals. Phytonutrients are natural plant-based
chemicals that promote proper metabolic functions. Many of
them exhibit potentially promising effects in human physiology:
- immune system enhancement
- antioxidant protection from cancers and degenerative diseases
- cholesterol modulation
- anti-inflammatory effects on membranes
- blood pressure control
- cell wall improvement through increased permeability and
flexibility
- detoxification through metal chelation.
The second component of UMAC-CORE’s unique profile is
a suite of elements and electrolytes almost tailor-made for
the human body. It’s no coincidence that the composition
of human plasma is similar to that of seawater. We arose from
the sea and our internal bodies reflects this. Over-reliance
on land-based food sources often leads to deficiencies in micronutrients
and trace elements. Our bodies need these elements to perform
as nature intended. Left to its own devices, the human body
has a marvelous system called homeostasis which keeps all systems
in balance. Take away some critical component and the body
experiences malfunctions that cause suboptimal performance.
Too many malfunctions cause disease.
Stop to think for a moment about the power of combining phytonutrients
and a balanced set of elements, all from the photosynthetic
base of the ocean’s food web. Think of the diversity
of life on Earth that owes its existence to these incredible
microalgae. Almost every person taking UMAC-CORE balance. Take
away some critical component and the body experiences malfunctions
that cause suboptimal performance. Too many malfunctions cause
disease.
Almost every person taking UMAC-CORE notices a beneficial
change in their bodies. People living for years with chronic
and sometimes debilitating conditions have found relief after
exhausting all avenues of medical advice. This may not be surprising
given the rich, non-genetically modified source of our product,
but it’s exciting and it’s marvelous.
