Expert Verdict

Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (blue-green algae/cyanobacteria) carries inherent risk of microcystin and other cyanotoxin contamination if sourced from wild-harvested material; Monascus fermentation can produce citrinin mycotoxin if not controlled; microbial stability of filtrate must be assured. AFA is a nutrient-dense cyanobacterium; fermentation with Bacillus/Monascus on rice bran is designed to enhance bioavailability of algal metabolites and generate antioxidant peptides
