Aphanizomenon flos-aquae is a unique dietary product with scientifically demonstrated health-promoting benefits. It contains a bounty of natural, vital nutrients and antioxidants to help nourish and protect the body, including chlorophyll, carotenoids, omega-3 fatty acids and phycocyanin.

Scientific studies performed by well-known universities and research centers support and validate the numerous reported benefits of Klamath Lake blue-green algae. Used alone or blended with other nutraceuticals and natural food products, Aphanizomenon flos-aquae will promote greater overall health.

Desert Lake Technologies’ innovative methods in the collection and processing of wild microalgae have revolutionized the Klamath Lake harvesting business. Our on-site Refractance Window™ Drying Technology is a proprietary drying process that uses heat transfer technology and specific properties of water to gently remove moisture from Aphanizomenon flos-aquae while maintaining the maximum nutrient integrity of natural algae.

This technology is an innovative process unique to the Klamath Lake industry - no other harvesting company utilizes this method of drying. Studies performed at Washington State University’s Department of Biological Systems Engineering and Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition established the superiority of Refractance Window™ Drying Technology over all other methods of drying, including freeze-drying.
