Klamath Blue-Green Algae (Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, or AFA) has quietly sat at the heart of The Really Healthy Company since the beginning.
Back in the 1990s, our director Nancy began importing it from Oregon and famously called it “the Rolls-Royce of algae.” In her view, it left chlorella and spirulina behind — not through hype, but through substance.
At the time, Klamath was embraced by the early wellness movement in LA, long before health became a global industry. Today, despite a market saturated with bold claims and flashy trends, this wild, intelligent algae has faded from the spotlight — even though its quality remains unchanged.
Unlike spirulina or chlorella, Klamath is wild-harvested from Upper Klamath Lake in Oregon, a mineral-rich, volcanic ecosystem shaped by intense sunlight and ancient natural rhythms. It grows as nature intended, not in tanks or factories.
Its naturally complex profile includes around 60% protein, essential amino acids, B vitamins (including natural B12), chlorophyll, phycocyanins, and phenylethylamine (PEA), delivered in a highly bioavailable form the body recognises.
Modern research has shown that Klamath algae may support the body’s natural repair processes, including increasing circulating stem cells in as little as 48 hours.
Gently harvested, low-temperature dried, and rigorously tested for purity — Klamath doesn’t chase trends.
It simply continues to do what it always has: quietly supporting the body’s innate intelligence.
