Food as Medicine: The Role of EnSoil Algae™

Research & Development: Moving Food as Medicine Forward

Scientific support for “Food as Medicine” is gaining ground, with EnSoil Algae™ playing a noteworthy role. While common sense suggests that eating healthy foods and reducing toxins is better for us, there has been little concrete scientific evidence to show exactly how food can act as medicine. That narrative is now changing, as new studies are clarifying the mechanisms by which food contributes to health and well-being.

Food as Medicine is now supported by growing research.
EnSoil Algae™ is positioned within this emerging science.
The health impact of food is now being proven, not just assumed.

How Can Food Be Medicinal (Nutraceutical)?

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, the root of most heart attacks and strokes, is deeply tied to inflammation and oxidation in the body. Decades of research show that both infections early in life and inflammation later in life spur a process that leads to dangerous arterial plaques. Medications work in part by reducing inflammation, and now it’s becoming clear that the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory micronutrients—phytochemicals—naturally found in plant foods can also deliver these benefits. Remarkably, ranchers in Montana and Kansas have observed that cattle grazing on grass grown with EnSoil Algae™ are healthier, as the plants they eat are richer in phytochemicals. The health benefit comes not from feeding algae directly, but from boosting the medicinal quality of the plants themselves.

ASCVD stems from inflammation and oxidation.
Many heart medications also reduce inflammation.
Foods rich in phytochemicals (like polyphenols and flavonoids) bring similar benefits.
EnSoil Algae™-grown forage has been linked to healthier livestock thanks to increased phytochemical content.

EnLife Algae: A Core Ingredient for Healthier Food Systems

A next-generation, live cell algae concentrate for functional foods and nutraceuticals.

At The Live Cell Algae Group, we believe that better food begins with better ingredients - and that starts at the root. Our proprietary EnLife Algae is a live cell, green algae concentrate derived from Chlorella vulgaris. When used in agricultural applications, it invigorates soil health, boosts plant vitality, and enhances nutrient content in crops (See EnSoil Algae). For manufacturers and growers, EnLife Algae becomes a powerful building block in producing foods that truly support health - a natural input for creating “Food as Medicine” products, from functional beverages to nutrient-dense produce.

The Power of Algae in Food and Medicine

Companies are increasingly turning to algae as a source of bioactive compounds that deliver real health benefits. Algae are packed with antioxidants, anti-inflammatory agents, and essential nutrients like protein, omega-3s, vitamins, and minerals. Not only do algae enhance the nutritional value of foods, but they also bring unique functional properties—such as fiber for gut health and compounds that may fight inflammation, chronic disease, or even certain viruses. As a sustainable, eco-friendly ingredient, algae are at the heart of the fast-growing nutraceutical and functional food markets.

What Makes Phytochemicals in Plants?

Soil rich in microbial mass and diversity produces more phytochemicals in crops. Regenerative Agriculture is known for fostering these changes in the soil but results from Montana and Kansas show that simply adding EnSoil Algae™ can trigger the same effect—even without full regenerative practices. EnSoil Algae™ consistently enhances soil biodiversity, and our research confirms that crops grown in such enriched soil deliver more phytochemical content. This is central to how food truly becomes medicine.

✔ Soil biology is the source of phytochemical richness.
✔ Regenerative Ag and EnSoil Algae™ both increase beneficial soil microbes.
✔ Research confirms higher phytochemical levels in EnSoil Algae™-treated crops.

A Prediction: The Coming Marketplace for Phytochemicals

It’s becoming possible to measure the polyphenol content in food—and this may soon be a key selling point. As evidence accumulates, consumers and grocers will look for clear markers of healthiness, such as antioxidant scores or phytochemical content. This shift will reward growers who embrace practices that reliably boost these beneficial compounds, including the use of EnSoil Algae™.

Polyphenol content will become a measure of food’s health benefits.
Expect produce and meat to be labeled for phytochemical content.
Growers using EnSoil Algae™ may receive premium prices for nutrient-rich food.

EnLife Algae as Medicine?

Currently, there’s no evidence supporting EnLife Algae as a medicine, but the potential is attracting research interest. While processed green algae (like Chlorella) is already a popular dietary supplement, scientists wonder if live algae could provide even greater benefits by continuously releasing phytochemicals and growth signals that favorably impact the gut biome. Still, EnLife Algae products from The Live Cell Algae Group are not formulated for human or animal consumption and should not be ingested. Research is ongoing, and new partnerships are encouraged.

No current evidence for live EnLife Algae as a medicine.
Live algae may offer ongoing release of beneficial compounds.
The Live Cell Algae Group products are not for consumption; research continues.
