It is the best pre-workout. And chlorella, I'll tell you now, is great as a post-workout because it pulls out all toxins, including lactic acid. So your recovery is much faster. So anyways, that's sort of the backdrop of why athletes should be using this. Now, on the protein question, when you eat animal protein, and I do, you know, I'm not a vegan.

So anyways, that's sort of the backdrop of why athletes should be using this. Now, on the protein question, when you eat animal protein, and I do, you know, I'm not a vegan.
I just select my protein very carefully, grass-fed beef and organic free-range eggs. But animal protein is all bound up, and your body can't absorb it that way. And so it has to break it down into amino acids. before it can be absorbed. And animal protein can take up to three days for that to occur. Then you have what's called peptides, which collagen is an example of that.

They're clusters of aminos. So they get absorbed a little faster. But algae, the aminos are already in individual aminos. So again, nothing for your body to break down, whether it's spirulina or chlorella. But spirulina gets absorbed faster because there is no cellulose wall to slow it down. So very... bioavailable protein.

Now, in terms of, and by the way, it has 18 of the 20 aminos, including the nine your body can't make. So it is a complete protein. By the way, if there's any carnivores listening, there's no lectins or oxalates. A lot of people go carnivore because they've had autoimmune issues, and a lot of it may have come from eating kale and spinach, which are very high in lectins and oxalates.

Zero in algae because it came from the ocean, it's not a land plant. So very bioavailable, all the aminos that you need to build and restore muscle. By the way, a protein is needed for everything, even in the DNA. There's what's called folded proteins. It's necessary for everything. Athletes, you also want protein. We know you want high protein, but you may not be aware that

when we talk about mitochondria, the third one to fourth highest concentration of mitochondria is in your muscles. And you're going to find out that spirulina has nutrients in it that protect your mitochondria.

So not only is a protein important for building your muscle, the spirulina and other nutrients like this antioxidant called superoxidismutase is important to protect your mitochondria that are in the fourth highest concentration in your muscles. So it will prolong your career as an athlete, whether you're a professional or not, or unprofessional. So a bioavailable instant access for the protein.

Now, in terms of how you measure the protein, I'll give you a little bit more backstory. Generally, a fist amount of chicken, let's say, is about 50 grams of protein, which is a nice portion.

Your body needs factors and cofactors to break down the protein so it can absorb the aminos. And most of us do not have all those factors and cofactors. And maybe athletes are a little different, but your average person doesn't. And it may take three days to get through all that process. So very often...

50 grams of protein only turns into 5 grams of aminos because sometimes you only absorb 10% as aminos because it's a very inefficient manner in which it's absorbed. But 30 tablets of spirulina, which is what we sell, spirulina and chlorella, 30 tablets have 5 grams of protein and 5 grams of aminos because you absorb all of it instantly. It's bioavailable.
