Euglena Powder, 2oz

Euglena Algae Firms Skin & Helps Sleep

Hey Everyone!

As you’ll see in just a moment, it offers some truly impressive benefits — from strengthening the skin and supporting the immune system to improving sleep in a meaningful way.

Our Euglena gracilis is cultivated on the pristine Ishigaki Island of Japan. It’s part of Okinawa Prefecture, which is one of the world’s five “Blue Zones,” renowned for its exceptionally high concentration of centenarians, with rates up to 68 per 100,000 residents, far exceeding global averages. The region’s clean subtropical air, abundant sunshine, unpolluted waters, and nutrient-rich environment (e.g., from coral reefs) contribute to this longevity.

What’s unique about Euglena is that it’s an Algae that is loaded with bioactive polysaccharide beta-glucans, which is the same component in mushrooms that is responsible for boosting the immune system. Normally, we would have to turn to mushrooms in order to get beta-glucans, such as Reishi or Chaga. However, with the discovery of this new Algae called Euglena, we can now get the highest amount of beta-glucans ever seen in any single food.

What’s crazy is that Euglena has a beta-glucan content greater than 45%! This means that when you take our Euglena, at least 45% of that powder that you ingest, is literally beta-glucans. This is unheard of. We literally just take the bulk Euglena ingredient, and throw it in a jar with zero other ingredients (fillers). The majority of other companies don’t do this with their products.

On top of that, research shows a digestive absorption rate on Euglena at 93.1%! That digestive absorption rate is absolutely insane, and that is why so many people are getting such absurd results with the Euglena as you will see further below. What’s absolutely crazy is that researchers found that Euglena gracilis has a cell wall made of paramylon beta-glucan granules, not cellulose, which makes it easier to digest compared to other mushrooms and algae’s like chlorella or spirulina (which have tough cell walls). It is the only species of micro-algae, whose cells have a cell membrane instead of a cell wall, and that is one of the reasons why it has such a high absorption rate.

So, Euglena is an extremely bioavailable nutritious algae that has 59 types of nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, all of the amino acids, and unsaturated fatty acids.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big fan of using Mushrooms in order to get these polysaccharide beta-glucans. However, we’ve found something that I feel is miraculously more effective, within the Algae Species realm.

One of the main reasons that people cherish our Euglena Powder is for what it does for our Skins immunity, which I have never even heard of happening with a mushroom. In fact, in Japan, they have made an entire industry of Euglena Beauty Skin Products due to this.

At the clinical study here, Euglena was added to skin fibroblasts through immune support pathways. When the euglena activated the immune cells, it was responsible for significantly increasing the gene expression of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is one of the moisturizing ingredients necessary for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. These results indicate that Euglena extract may boost immunity and, through it, maintain good skin firmness and elasticity.

In laymen terms, they are suggesting that the Euglena has the potential to improve the skins firmness, tightness, and elasticity, through the activation and the production of Hyaluronic Acid.

That is insane! It’s all done through our skins immune system pathways.

If you remember, we had a testimonial from a woman with Red Head Skin, who talked about the miraculous impact Euglena had on her sensitive skin when she took it internally. Here is that testimonial below:

The Euglena is nothing short of a miracle for me. I bruise very easily. The gentlest touch causes me to have purple bruising and torn skin on my hands, arms and legs. I have redhead skin and the older I get the thinner my skin has become. I have had sores that don’t heal as a result. The Euglena has Stopped the bruising completely. The Euglena is healing the wounds on my hands, arms and legs. The Euglena is making my skin thicker like it used to be long ago. The Euglena has improved my circulation as well. I’m not so cold this winter as I have been before. This is Huge! for me. I can’t be without it Ever! It’s improving the quality of my life everyday I take it. So Grateful. Lastly, it gives me instant energy that endures for hours, I’m not craving sweets any more, and it calms my nerves and helps me hold focus on any task I’m doing. My dogs like it too. Happy New Year to you and all at Team “Raw Food”. Blessings to all.”

Also, in another testimonials, a person said it suppressed their appetite, similar to how the woman with the red head skin said she doesn’t crave sweets anymore.

Talk about Euglena being an awesome beauty algae!

Euglena doesn’t only boost your skin immunity, but obviously your entire immune system extremely well.

In the clinical study here, Euglena, containing greater than 45% Beta-Glucans, just like ours was used. The endurance-trained participants reported fewer sick days, fewer upper respiratory tract immune challenges, fewer symptom days, fewer episodes, and lower global severity measured as area under curve for Upper Respiratory Tract immune challenges symptoms per person compared to placebo. At the same time, other studies have found it helps to lower inflammation in the lungs of influenza unwanted microbe-infected subjects; coupled with its ability to lower unwanted microbe load.

Many other clinical studies show immunity markers spike in charts when taking the Euglena, activating immune signaling pathways.

Furthermore, Euglena builds a strong fortress in our gut. 70% – 80% of our immune cells are found in the gut, and a lot of the immune cells are localized at areas in the small intestine known as the Peyer’s Patches. Peyer’s Patches house a variety of immune cells, including macrophages, dendritic cells, T cells, and B cells. Robust and vigilant Peyer’s Patches defend us against microbial and bacterial immune challenges. In March 2020, Prof Adachi of Tokyo Medical and Dental University, found that Euglena enhanced the Peyer’s Patches and increased the activities of the immune cells in our intestine. Peyer’s Patches decline rapidly with age so this finding offers a valuable insight into how we can maintain a youthful and robust immunity.

If you have sleep issues due to being wired at night, then our Euglena may be just what you are looking for.

At the study on Euglena here, they researched its impact on sleep quality in men under stress. Researchers actually measured brain wave patterns to track sleep depth (light, deep, and REM) and analyzed heart rate variability to evaluate autonomic nervous system balance. The results were remarkable: those taking Euglena experienced a significant increase in the number of measured deep sleep occurrences, and greater overall satisfaction with their rest, with benefits reversing once intake stopped. The heart rate variability that was monitored showed that Euglena intake helped regulate the balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, which is often disrupted during stress. Scientists believe this improvement stems from Euglena’s ability to support the autonomic nervous system, reducing irritability and tension that interfere with restorative rest. A secondary factor may also be Euglena’s role in enhancing beneficial gut bacteria, which can influence circadian rhythm and sleep regulation.

On top of that, the studies [1, 2, 3, 4], Euglena has been shown to relieve symptoms in joint discomfort, attenuate atopic dermatitis-like skin lesions by down-regulating both Th1 and Th2 immune responses, lower inflammation throughout the body, and suppress carcinogenesis — including lung abnormal growth formation triggered by tobacco smoke and ovarian abnormal cell growth — through slowing abnormal growth cell growth, modulation of gut microbiota metabolites, and supporting natural cell death pathways. Together, these findings highlight Euglena’s bioactive polysaccharides as central to immune balance, inflammation reduction, and abnormal cell growth risk mitigation.

Lastly, as seen in studies [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], and [11], Euglena’s benefits extend even further. It’s been shown to support weight management by reducing white adipose tissue while improving glucose tolerance and fat metabolism, help regulate blood sugar in blood sugar imbalance models, reduce inflammation throughout the body, protect the liver against fatty liver and fibrosis, promote healthier gut microbiota, and even provide protective effects against certain forms of abnormal cell growth including colon. This remarkable algae not only boosts immunity and skin health, but also strengthens nearly every major system of the body.

While most Algae’s have a dark green color, the color of our Euglena actually has a light green tint. The chlorophyll content in Euglena is much lower compared to other algae’s, but the purpose for taking Euglena is for its profound high level of absorbable bioactive beta-glucans. Chlorella and Spirulina, for example, don’t even contain beta-glucans. Interestingly, Euglena is much easier for me to digest compared to any other algae. It’s so easy on the system and you can mix it into water, juices and smoothies—or just take it straight off a spoon like I do.

Thanks everyone for your support!

Sincerely,
Matt
