Research
Recently, many scientifically-controlled studies have analyzed the immune system-enhancing properties of A. flos-aquae.
A recent double-blind, cross-over study at the Royal Victoria Hospital led by Dr. Gitte Jensen, discovered cyanobacteria uniquely support the healthy function of the immune system.
The following are brief summaries of other scientific studies:
- University of New Mexico - placebo controlled study. After eating AFA food supplement for a period of one month, intestinal function can improve. Another placebo-controlled study suggests that eating Aphanizomenon flos-aquae can stimulate specific areas of the brain for increased mental alertness.
Recently the first stage of an extensive research project carried out at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Montreal, Canada, studying the effect of A. flos-aquae on the immune and endocrine systems, as well as on general blood physiology, found that eating it had a profound effect on natural killer cells (NKCs). A. flos-aquae triggers the movement of 40% of the circulating NKCs from the blood to tissues.
