What is Fresh-Dried?

Fresh-Dried is a trademark of Ancient Sun Nutrition, Inc. referring to an exclusive harvesting and drying process, unique to the manufacture of Ancient Sun products. Part of the secret of our advanced Fresh-Dried process involves our harvester's exclusive access to RefractanceWindow Drying? Technology to dry the algae immediately after harvesting, bypassing the normal freezing step which tends to damage the cell wall, creating a subsequent loss in nutrient retention and freshness. We believe this exclusive process confers a distinct advantage on those distributing or consuming Ancient Sun Products.

The manufacture and processing of Fresh-Dried AFA involves various proprietary technologies allowing for the extraction of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae from the natural environment without damaging its fragile nutritional integrity. The result is fresher, premium grade, wild blue-green algae, having retained maximum nutrients, enzymatic activity, and potency.
