E3AFA™

There's only one ingredient in E3AFA™, and that's 100% Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA for short), an edible freshwater plant. AFA is at the very foundation of the entire food chain.

Although it has been eaten for centuries by indigenous peoples, for the first time in history, AFA - nature's most basic food - is available in it's complete, vital, dried form.

Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA), (means invisible flower of the water) is a fresh water nutritional plant referred to as cyanophyta. Cyanophyta are living water plants that grow in nearly all droplets of sunlit water and in every gram of soil, on the bark of trees and the surfaces of rocks. It is estimated that there are as many as 50,000 species, including various seaweeds and plankton.

Collectively, cyanophyta are responsible for 90% of the Earth's oxygen and 80% of its food supply. Perhaps the most interesting of these unicellular plants are the cyanophyta community, of which there are about 1500 species--the Upper Klamath Lake, Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, or AFA for short, being one of them. AFA is a very special form of cyanophyta. All foods reflect the environment in which they are grown. The beautiful, unpolluted Upper Klamath Lake-one of the few remaining alkaline lakes on the planet holds the key to it's remarkable potency.

This lake has an astonishingly high mineral concentration due to a massive volcanic eruption that occured in the vicinity over 7,000 years ago, covering the area with millions of tons of mineral ash. Seventeen streams and rivers deposit into the 140 square mile lake an annual average of 50,000 tons of the mineral-rich silt from the surrounding 4000 square mile volcanic basin, making Upper Klamath Lake one of the richest nutrient traps in the world.

Much has been learned about this amazing food since it became available as a food source over 20 years ago. There are more benefits being discovered every day as this cyanophyta is introduced to the medical and scientific communities.

As with anything concerning your health, it is best to consult with your healthcare professional prior to consuming E3Live™ or E3AFA™ if you have any concerns regarding your health or a specific medical condition.

Both are 100% Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA) a freshwater plant harvested from Klamath Lake in Oregon.

E3Live® is the frozen/liquid form of the AFA which is superior to all other forms of AFA. E3Live is the only company to offer AFA in this fresh frozen form.

E3AFA® is the Hydro•Dri™ dried form of the AFA, which comes as either vegetarian capsules or loose powder.

Both are excellent foods. E3Live®'s live liquid form is closest to its natural high-energy state found in nature and is the ideal way to consume AFA. Our Hydro•Dri™ drying method retains much of AFA's original nutritional and energetic properties. We recommend our Hydro•Dri™ dried E3AFA® to further boost nutritional intake, as well as for your convenience at work and while traveling if refrigeration is not available.

E3AFA™ is a whole, organic freshwater plant found in the wild that has both discovered and undiscovered nutrients. These nutrients are 97% fully assimilated. Only a fraction of the vitamin content of more expensive "health food vitamins" are actually absorbed by the body. Man-made foods only contain what the formulators choose to include.

E3Live™ is the only AFA that is live, liquid and delivered to you closest to its natural state. E3Live™ is selectively gathered by our expert harvesters, and collected from only the deepest, most pristine waters of Upper Klamath Lake. We harvest only at peak times of optimal growth, when the AFA is the heartiest, healthiest and most vibrant.

Harvesting AFA is an art AND a science. We discovered that the strongest and freshest AFA possesses the highest life-force. The benefits of AFA are directly proportional to the quality of the harvesting source, and how the AFA is handled at every step of the process. We take pride in knowing that we bring you the most potent and powerful AFA in the world.

E3Live's superior harvesting and proprietary filtration methods ensure the absolute highest quality. Our AFA is selectively harvested so that only the purest, most vibrant blooms are gathered. Starting at our harvest site, E3Live™ is immediately chilled to preserve its natural vitality and highest nutritional value. We work hand-in-hand with the most experienced, conscientious harvesters and knowledgeable researchers in the world.

From the moment we harvest the AFA, to its final packaging, we work with only the most highly trained and qualified staff. We handle our AFA with such care from start to finish. Factors contributing to this quality include: where and how we harvest, keeping the AFA cold at all times, superior filtration and storage, and ongoing quality-control testing of all of our products. All E3 products are tested thoroughly by independent USDA certified labs for food safety, shelf-life and various other purity tests.

The benefits of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae are directly related to the care and attention given to sourcing and harvesting the product. Our quality care begins with the selection of the freshest AFA "blooms" from pristine Eagle Ridge. The harvesting is quickly followed by rapid chilling of the AFA to 34 to 37 degrees Fahrenheit. Next, our E3AFA™ is Further purified by careful centrifugation, leaving a product chilled and scrupulously clean. E3Live™ is handled more expeditiously from harvest to freezer than any competitive product. Our quality control parameters, coupled with our proprietary final processing, yields the Lake's most potent source of AFA.

Unless you know the source of your AFA, there is no guarantee of quality. E3Live™ and other E3AFA™ products are harvested by the most competent harvesting team, and staff of engineers in our industry.

Absolutely. In fact, both the liquid E3Live™ and our E3AFA™ Hydro•Dri™ dried form are favorites among veterinarians who successfully treat nutritional deficiencies in dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, horses, and other animals. Benefits are especially seen in older animals, bringing back youthfulness and a higher quality of life.

Horse owners love E3Live™ for the changes seen in hooves, coats and the overall health of their horses.

If you love your pet, you'll love E3Live™. There is no other pet food that dares to give an unconditional one-year guarantee that you will "See the Difference!" Read about other pet owner's experiences with E3Live™ in our "Success Stories" section.

Because people report AFA helps such a wide range of physical and mental symptoms, it's easy to fall into a "magic bullet" mentality associated with pharmaceutical drugs. AFA doesn't work that way. Aphanizomenon flos-aquae is an extraordinary food, not a drug or synthesized vitamin.

Artificial drugs are synthesized in the laboratory to produce specific effects on targeted cells, organs, or body functions. Though some drugs save lives, unfortunately, some drugs also create unwanted side-effects.

In contrast, Nature's innate wisdom works through AFA's full spectrum of over 64 perfectly balanced, naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, amino acids (protein) and essential fatty acids. AFA helps restore overall biological balance and nourishes the body at the cellular level. AFA is 97% absorbable by the body, compared to man-made vitamins which are only 5% to 25% absorbable. Without any toxicity or side-effects, this is how AFA can have so many beneficial nutritional and energetic effects throughout the body.

The beneficial effects of E3Live™ and E3AFA™ in your body can be subtle as it works to provide long-term protection and well-being.

Some people may experience noticeable changes within a few weeks of use - others may notice differences right away or, conversely, notice no effect whatsoever.

It is important to maintain a healthy diet and exercise regularly in order to reap the full, long-term benefits of AFA. And, while the benefits of consuming AFA may not always be visibly manifested, be assured its phyto-nutrients are working "behind the scenes" throughout your body's internal systems.

We recommend that pregnant or nursing women consult with their medical or healthcare practitioner.

This is a form of our algae in which a different energy field is used on our dried AFA. It is believed that this process may make the algae useful in the body.
