Blue manna, raw, no agro-chems, wild, vegan, powder, 50g bottle or 15g zip bag
Blue Manna is a water-soluble extract/concentrate derived from whole AFA. To produce a single pound of Blue Manna, five pounds of AFA are required. Unlike Crystal Manna (the whole AFA algae), Blue Manna contains a 50% higher ratio of amino accids per gram than Crystal Manna and a significantly higher concentration of two active compounds-Phycocyanin and Phenylethylamine (PEA) properties.
Blue Manna is a proprietary extract of AFA (Aphanizomenon flos-aquae) containing significant concentrations of Phycocyanin and PEA (Phenylethylamine).
Phycocyanin contains bioactive components that have antioxidant properties, and are loved by flexible people.
PEA is an endogenous brain compound found naturally in only two foods: chocolate and AFA. When taken consistently, PEA enhances concentration, attention, and creates a feeling of joy or well-being.
Blue Manna has so many great properties. However, due to UK law, we can't list them, so please do your research on the Internet and then come back!
Directions for use
Ancient Sun's Blue Manna is an unrivaled supplement that has many of the qualities of the fabled manna from heaven, a very special food. Today it enjoys a growing popularity as people discover how it makes them feel
Recommended use
Adults: As a dietary supplement, 1/3 tsp. or 2 capsules daily, or as otherwise directed by a healthcare professional.
Children under 12: Use 1/2 of adult recommendation.
These instructions for recommended use should be taken as guidelines only. Individuals will require different amounts for optimal results. If you have any medical questions, consult with your GP or healthcare practitioner.
Blue Manna was developed especially for individuals requiring ultimate nutritional support. Blue Manna is not a substitute for Crystal Manna--when it is used regularly with Crystal Manna the range of benefits is broadened and the effectiveness of both is greatly enhanced.
We also recommend that a good probiotic (including both Acidophilus and Bifidus) be taken along with Crystal Manna AFA to maximize the assimilation of nutrients in the digestive tract.
Additionally, drinking lots of water and exercising regularly is an essential part of maintaining good health.

What is Fresh-Dried?
Fresh-Dried is a trademark of Ancient Sun Nutrition, Inc. referring to an exclusive harvesting and drying process, unique to the manufacture of Ancient Sun products. Part of the secret of our advanced Fresh-Dried process involves our harvester's exclusive access to RefractanceWindow Drying? Technology to dry the algae immediately after harvesting, bypassing the normal freezing step which tends to damage the cell wall, creating a subsequent loss in nutrient retention and freshness. We believe this exclusive process confers a distinct advantage on those distributing or consuming Ancient Sun Products. View a comparison of Refractance Window vs. spray drying and freeze drying here.
The manufacture and processing of Fresh-Dried AFA involves various proprietary technologies allowing for the extraction of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae from the natural environment without damaging its fragile nutritional integrity. The result is fresher, premium grade, wild blue-green algae, having retained maximum nutrients, enzymatic activity, and potency.
Nutritional content of AFA
Aphanizomenon flos-aquae is a unique dietary product with outstanding properties. It contains a bounty of vital nutrients and antioxidants to help nourish and protect the body, including chlorophyll, carotenoids, omega-3 and many other polyunsaturated fatty acids, amino acids, minerals, vitamins and the powerful antioxidant-pigment phycocyanin.
Chlorophyll, a green pigment found in plants that is responsible for the transformation of light energy into chemical energy, is exceptionally abundant in AFA.
AFA is one of the richest sources of the carotenoid family of nutrients, providing a distinctive mixture of natural carotenoids not found in synthetic vitamin supplements. Research has found that a diverse selection of natural carotenoids work together synergistically and offer greater antioxidant protection than large amounts of a single carotenoid, such as vitamin A.
Nearly 50 percent of the lipid (essential fatty acid) content of dried AFA is composed of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Recent research has shown that the average British diet is highly deficient in omega-3 PUFAs. Dietary omega-3 PUFAs are beneficial to the immune, cardiovascular and nervous systems. Omega-3 PUFAs also have anti-inflammatory properties and help to maintain a healthy cholesterol level. A study performed at Massachusetts General Hospital, affiliated with Harvard University, revealed that the omega-3 fatty acids present in AFA are extremely well-absorbed by the body. The lipid content of dried AFA averages 5 percent of the dry weight and of this 5 percent, approximately 50 percent is omega-3 fatty acids.
A team of scientists at the Massachusetts General Hospital also identified in AFA a unique inhibitory activity that affect specific intestinal enzymes, delaying the absorption of sugars and reducing blood glucose. This makes AFA algae ideal for those wishing to bring more stability to their blood sugar.
