Rediscovery of a 3.5-billion-year-old immortal lifeform Spirulina, a cyanobacteria (also known as blue green algae). Beginning 3.5 billion years ago, spirulina evolved giving rise to an oxygen atmosphere so other life could form. Since then, these blue green algae have helped regulate our planet’s biosphere.
The perfect food to restore our health and our planet. This immortal descendant of the first photosynthetic lifeform was designed by nature billion years ago. Spirulina is the evolutionary bridge between bacteria and green plants. It contained within it everything life needed to evolve. This immortal plant has renewed itself for billions of years, and has presented itself to us in the last 30 years. Spirulina has 3.5 billion years of evolutionary wisdom coded in its DNA.

When life began on Earth, the carbon dioxide level in our atmosphere was probably 100 times greater than it is today. Life began in a greenhouse atmosphere, and cyanobacteria played the central role in transforming this inhospitable planet into the beauty and richness that makes up life today. How this occurred is particularly relevant in view of our concern with global warming. Scientists believe the Earth formed about 4.5 billion years ago, and the first life forms appeared 3.5 billion years ago. There is some controversy about how life was created on this planet. Because the young sun was 25% cooler at the beginning of life, the greenhouse effect kept a cooler planet warmer. Earth’s nitrogen atmosphere, without any oxygen, was rich in greenhouse gases (like carbon dioxide and methane) absorbing and trapping radiant heat, with the infrared radiation rising from the surface. The oceans were filled with iron, sulfur and other compounds in solution because there was no free oxygen. These substances reacted with and removed oxygen, so the Earth had a great capacity to prevent the appearance of free oxygen. The first living bacteria, the prokaryotes, consumed chemical nutrients as food, but some adapted the energy of the sun to make their own food. The first photosynthesizing prokaryotes, called cyanobacteria, used light energy to break apart the abundant carbon dioxide and water molecules into carbon food compounds, releasing free oxygen. Fossils dating back 3.5 billion years, show filaments of these single cells stacked end on end. The shape unmistakably resembles spirulina. Spirulina continued to release oxygen for over a billion years passed.
Spirulina has a long history of safe human consumption, known to be safe and nutritious. Hundreds of published scientific studies over the past thirty years have documented no toxicity.
