Blue-green algae, also known as cyanobacteria, are a type of aquatic microorganism. The term 'blue-green algae' can refer to many different types of algae, including Arthrospira genus, which is known as spirulina, and Aphanizomenon flos-aquae, commonly known as 'Klamath', as it is found in Klamath Lake, Oregon. Blue-green algae contain several different nutrients, including vitamins A, B6, B12, E, and K, iron, manganese, zinc, sodium, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, copper, selenium, and chromium. Blue-green algae have been shown in some samples to be contaminated with several types of toxins, including microcystins and heavy metals, so it is important to only take supplements that are properly tested, processed, and produced.

Barley, a widely used grain renowned for its high fiber content, serves both as a staple food and an ingredient in brewing various types of alcoholic beverages. Research suggests that barley's dietary fiber may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Studies indicate that daily consumption of 3-12 grams of barley can help lower total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels in adults with hypercholesterolemia. A key component of barley is beta-glucans, a soluble fiber known for its health benefits. Barley also contains tocopherols and tocotrienols, forms of vitamin E with antioxidant properties that further enhance its nutritional value. Moreover, barley contains hordenine and lunasin, compounds under study for their potential health-promoting effects.

Ascophyllum nodosum is a species of brown seaweed that inhabits the shorelines of various regions including the Canadian Arctic, Greenland, Iceland, Europe, the northeastern United States, and the eastern coast of Canada. In many areas, this seaweed has become a protected species in an effort to prevent overharvesting. Ascophyllum nodosum boasts a rich nutrient profile, containing polysaccharides like fucoidans and laminarin, and an array of vitamins and minerals, including iodine. Furthermore, this seaweed is notable for carrying phlorotannins, a substance found exclusively in brown seaweed, as well as a variety of fatty acids. These include oleic acid, saturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids of both the omega-3 and omega-6 varieties.
