Neurotoxins and E3live

Regarding neurotoxins in the water, the blue-green algae harvested from Klamath Lake
and currently sold on the market is 100% Aphanizomenon flos-aquae. This blue-green
algae from Klamath Lake is absolutely non-toxic, as demonstrated by many years of
extensive testing. During a few weeks in the summer, Microsystis, a co-occurring blue-
green algae capable of producing the toxin Microcystin, is found as a minor constituent
of the Klamath Lake phytoplankton community. This phenomenon is not recent and
Microcystis has always been present in very small amounts in Klamath Lake. Despite its
presence, Microsystis is not a problem, since KAPs (Klamath Algae Products aka
E3Live) will not harvest while any Microsystin is present in the lake.

Of course, we hold the quality of our product in the highest regard and offer extensive
testing which has been outlined below!

Professor Fun Sun Chu is a member and scientific associate of the Food Research
Institute and Dept. of Food Microbiology and Toxicology, Univ. of Wisconsin-Madison.
Dr. Chu has worked more than 25 years with some of the most potent toxins known,
and is recognized internationally for tests he has developed that allow scientists to
detect extremely low levels of natural toxins in foods, plant and animal tissues, and
environmental samples. One test that Dr. Chu developed, which is conducted on every
batch of algae that is harvested, is an antibody test, specifically a sensitive enzyme-
linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA) test. Another test, high-pressure liquid
chromatography (HPLC) is also conducted on each batch of algae that is harvested.
Every batch of algae must fall BELOW the acceptable established limit, which is set by
Oregon State and Federal Dept of Agriculture, and their respective food safety divisions.
That limit is less than 1 part per million.

Earth's Essential Elements Aphanizomenon flos-aquae products test as non-detectable

or less than 1 part per million for toxin. We have a certificate on file for every batch of
algae that is processed and bottled.

We are frequently asked about the water quality and testing that we do, as a harvester
of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, coming from Upper Klamath Lake in Southern Oregon.
Below is information to address these concerns.

The water quality of Klamath Lake is monitored by state and federal agencies including
U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife. These results are a matter of
public record. As a harvester and supplier of AFA blue green algae, we monitor water
quality throughout the year. First, we have access to test results from Federal and State
agencies, and during our harvest season we perform heavy metals and pesticide
residue tests on the water and in our products. We use standards and guidelines that
are set for drinking water. This is done by approved independent laboratories
specializing in food and water quality.
At our harvest site, we use all food grade equipment, and stainless steel cooling tanks.
During harvesting, we immediately chill the algae to preserve the chlorophyll and
nutritional content. We immediately filter the algae to remove everything but the
Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, thus ensuring a pure product. This all takes place before
we transport the algae to our land-based site for transport to the freezers.

Our AFA products are tested for standard food safety. We do aerobic plate counts
checking for bacteria, and we also test for E.Coli, Coliforms, S. Aureus, Yeast and
Molds, and Listeria. As with all food products, there are standard limits set by FDA and
Dept. of Agriculture, which we must meet for basic food safety. We meet and exceed all
of these standards.

We test for toxins of algal products. The standard tests are Mycrocycstis, Anatoxin,
Saxotoxin and Neurotoxin. The Dept. of Agriculture and the FDA have set allowable
limits, and we must fall below these levels. We meet and exceed all of the limits.

Independent laboratories specializing in food safety and algal toxins perform both our
basic food safety and our toxin testing. We work with the top experts in the world to
ensure that we bring you only the best and purest AFA algae.
