If you follow wellness trends, you’ve probably noticed that new superfoods seem to pop up every week. Greens powders fill entire shelves, adaptogens get all the buzz, and every influencer has a different “must-have” supplement. Yet even with all of that noise, one nutrient-rich powerhouse stands in a category of its own: Aphanizomenon flos aquae, better known as AFA or organic Wild Microalgae™.
AFA is not just another plant-based ingredient. It is one of the most nutrient-dense foods found in nature and a natural superfood that supports whole body wellness in a way few ingredients can match. It is the reason New Earth has used AFA in every single product for decades, and it continues to be the foundation of everything we create.
Whether you are trying to improve your daily energy, support your gut health, nourish your brain, or simply give your body more of the essentials it needs to thrive, AFA belongs in your routine. Let’s take a closer look at what makes this blue-green algae so remarkable and why it deserves a permanent place on your wellness shelf.
What Exactly Is AFA?
AFA is a rare blue-green algae that grows wild in only one known location on earth. It forms naturally in Upper Klamath Lake in southern Oregon. This unique ecosystem allows AFA to flourish in clean mountain water that is rich in minerals. Unlike farmed algae, this variety grows without cultivation and is harvested with care to preserve its purity and potency.
At its core, AFA is a complete whole food. It contains a uniquely balanced profile of proteins, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, pigments, and phytonutrients that work in harmony with the human body. When people call AFA one of the most nutrient-rich superfoods in the world, it is not an exaggeration. Gram for gram, its nutritional content is truly astonishing.
Nature’s Most Balanced Source of Plant-Based Nutrition
Many superfoods focus on one specific area of nutrition. Some offer antioxidants. Others are rich in protein. Others contain a specific compound like chlorophyll. AFA stands out because it naturally contains a wide spectrum of nutrients your body can put to use immediately.
Plant-Based Protein
AFA provides a complete profile of amino acids that the body uses for everything from muscle repair to hormone production. This makes it an excellent plant-based complement to an active lifestyle, daily movement, and overall performance.
Essential Fatty Acids
Although algae is most often praised for micronutrients, AFA also delivers important fatty acids that help support healthy cells and consistent daily energy.
Natural Vitamins and Minerals
AFA contains a wide range of bioavailable vitamins and minerals. Because these nutrients come directly from a whole food source, your body recognizes and utilizes them with ease.
Pigments and Phytonutrients
The pigments in AFA do more than just give it its blue-green color. Compounds like chlorophyll and phycocyanin provide nourishing support for your cells and overall vitality.
This rich nutritional spectrum is one of the reasons AFA is often considered a foundational superfood. Instead of trying to cover gaps with a dozen different supplements, adding AFA to your routine can help you boost your overall nutrient intake in a natural and efficient way.
AFA And Whole Body Wellness
AFA is widely loved because of the way it supports the body from the inside out. People often feel a difference in their daily energy, clarity, and general sense of well-being because this powerful algae nourishes systems throughout the entire body.
Gut Health Support
A healthy gut absorbs nutrients more effectively and supports comfortable digestion. AFA provides gentle nourishment to the gut environment and pairs beautifully with probiotics, enzymes, and fibers found in New Earth products.
Brain and Mood Support
The nutrient profile in AFA offers natural nourishment for the brain. Many people notice benefits in clarity, calm focus, and overall mental sharpness. This is one reason AFA has remained a staple among students, professionals, and anyone looking to support balanced cognitive health.
Daily Energy And Vitality
Because AFA is rich in readily usable nutrients, many people describe feeling a steady, natural sense of energy when it becomes part of their daily routine. This is not a stimulant spike. It is the feeling of a well-fed body functioning at its best.
Immune Support
Whole food nutrition naturally supports a responsive immune system. AFA delivers key compounds that help the body stay strong through seasonal changes and everyday stress.
This broad range of benefits is one of the reasons AFA stands apart from trendy greens powders or single-ingredient supplements. It is a natural, whole food source of nourishment that complements your body’s own design.
