Spirulina Platensis

Arthrospira platensis — Alkalophilic cyanobacterium

Spirulina Platensis is no ordinary algae: it is a cyanobacterium that produces oxygen via photosynthesis, concentrating it in phycocyanin — the blue-green pigment that characterises it and has demonstrated anti-ROS (free radical) properties superior to any synthetic antioxidant.

With 70% complete protein by dry weight (more than meat, fish and eggs), it provides all 9 essential amino acids in immediately bioavailable form. Non-haem iron is absorbed more easily in the presence of the vitamin C in fruit — the perfect combination with the Romeo Method morning protocol.

For city dwellers breathing pollution, Spirulina is the direct biological answer: it neutralises heavy metals, supports the liver in detoxification and increases cellular resistance to urban oxidative stress. A daily green transfusion.

Klamath Algae AFA

Aphanizomenon flos-aquae — Lake Klamath, Oregon

Klamath Algae AFA grows exclusively in the volcanic Klamath Lake in Oregon, fed by millennia-old mineral sediments. It contains over 115 micronutrients in organic and bioavailable form — a record unmatched by any other known food.

Its unique strength is PEA (phenylethylamine): an endogenous neuromodulator that the brain naturally produces during moments of focus and wellbeing. Klamath is the most concentrated dietary source in the world. It acts directly on the dopamine-serotonin axis, improving concentration, mood and mental clarity within 2–3 weeks.

AFA phycocyanins are neuroprotective: they reduce neural inflammation, support stem cell regeneration and protect neuronal mitochondria. It is the superfood for high mental performance.

Raw Maca Powder

Lepidium meyenii — Andean highlands, 4,000–4,500 m

Raw Andean Maca is not a supplement: it is an adaptogen. It does not force the hormonal system — it gives it the tools to self-regulate. It acts on the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, supporting the natural production of testosterone, FSH and LH without altering the negative feedback loop.

Its secret lies in macamides and macaenes: exclusive alkaloids found in no other food on Earth. They support spermatogenesis, bone density, libido and physical endurance at extreme altitudes. Clinical research shows significant improvements after just 8–12 weeks of use.

There are three varieties: Yellow Maca (general energy and mood), Red Maca (prostate health and bones), Black Maca (testosterone and spermatogenesis). Each has a distinct phytochemical profile.

Natural Medjool Dates

Phoenix dactylifera var. Medjoul — Origin: Jordan / Morocco

Medjool Dates are called "the fruit of kings" for a reason: they are nature's most complete natural caloric concentrate. A small amount provides immediate energy through native glucose and fructose — with no glycaemic spike thanks to their intact fibre.

They contain potassium, magnesium, copper, manganese and vitamin B6 — all essential cofactors for the production of serotonin and dopamine. Magnesium is a natural muscle relaxant. Potassium balances blood pressure and supports cardiac function.

Date fibre is an excellent prebiotic: it selectively feeds intestinal bifidobacteria, improving the microbiome naturally. In the Romeo Method they are the ideal afternoon snack, paired with Maca for a complete energetic synergy.

Fresh Bee Pollen

Pollen granules — Spring / summer harvest

Bee Pollen is one of the most complete foods in existence: it contains all 22 essential and non-essential amino acids, over 250 biologically active substances, live enzymes and over 20 antioxidant and anti-inflammatory flavonoids.

Pollen flavonoids (quercetin, kaempferol, isorhamnetin) inhibit NF-κB and cyclooxygenase-2 — the same mechanisms as ibuprofen, but without side effects. Pollen is also rich in provitamin D (ergosterol) and coenzyme Q10, essential for mitochondrial energy production.

In the Romeo Method it is used as a morning biostimulant: a teaspoon in the fruit breakfast amplifies micronutrient absorption and boosts the immune response. It is the natural "multi" — the one nature created before laboratories.

Organic Chia Seeds

Salvia hispanica — Mesoamerica

Chia Seeds are the world's most concentrated plant source of Omega-3 ALA fatty acids — with an Omega-3/Omega-6 ratio of 3:1, ideal for reducing systemic inflammation. In gel form (after soaking in water), they slow sugar absorption and increase satiety.

They contain 18% complete protein, more calcium per gram than milk, iron, zinc and antioxidants. The soluble fibre (mucilage gel) is an excellent prebiotic that nourishes the microbiome and regulates intestinal motility.

In the Romeo Method they are used as a base for an overnight pudding or added to morning smoothies. One tablespoon a day covers the plant Omega-3 requirement and provides a significant contribution to daily calcium intake without dairy.

Shelled Hemp Seeds

Cannabis sativa (industrial variety) — Certified THC <0.2%

Shelled Hemp Seeds are one of the few plant sources of complete protein: they contain all 9 essential amino acids in optimal proportions, with a protein percentage of 32–35% by weight. The main protein, edestin, has the structure most similar to human blood plasma proteins — exceptional bioavailability.

The Omega-3/Omega-6 ratio is 1:3 — perfect for inflammatory balance. They contain gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), a rare fat with anti-inflammatory action. The magnesium content is significant: a cofactor of over 300 enzymes and essential for deep sleep, protein synthesis and nerve function.

In the Romeo Method they are sprinkled on salads, coconut yoghurt or added to smoothies. Raw and shelled, they are consumed without cooking: the simplest and most complete protein solution in the Method.

RAW Pumpkin Seeds

Cucurbita pepo (seeds) — Origin: certified organic

RAW Pumpkin Seeds are the most concentrated natural source of bioavailable zinc: a mineral cofactor of 5α-reductase and aromatase — the two key enzymes that regulate testosterone and prevent excess oestrogens. Without adequate zinc, produced testosterone is converted into oestrogens or sequestered by SHBG.

They are rich in tryptophan — the precursor to serotonin and melatonin. A handful of pumpkin seeds in the evening supports deep sleep and nocturnal hormonal regeneration. They also contain magnesium, iron, phosphorus and unsaturated fatty acids in native form.

Cucurbitin (an amino acid exclusive to pumpkin seeds) has demonstrated protective effects on the prostate and natural antiparasitic properties. In the Romeo Method they are the protein-mineral snack par excellence — ideal in the afternoon with Maca.
