Six species, three industries

A marine microalga known for its high content of the omega-3 fatty acid EPA.

• Rich, natural source of EPA (omega-3)
• Widely used in aquaculture, among other things to enrich live feed (rotifers) for larvae
• Interesting as a plant-based alternative to fish oil in nutraceuticals

The best-known food algae in the world, with an exceptionally high protein content.

• Up to 60–70% protein — one of the most protein-rich natural sources there are
• Rich in phycocyanin, iron and vitamins
• Widely applicable: food supplements, functional foods and a natural blue colorant

A marine microalga with a high content of the omega-3 fatty acid DHA.

• Important DHA source, essential for cell development
• Widely used cultivation feed in aquaculture (among others, shellfish and shrimp larvae)
• Supports healthy growth in hatcheries worldwide

A green marine microalga, approved in the EU as a novel food since 2014 and as a food supplement since 2017.

• High content of superoxide dismutase (SOD), a powerful antioxidant enzyme produced by the body itself
• Legally approved for human consumption in the EU — an important advantage over many other algae species
• Traditionally used as cultivation feed in aquaculture (shellfish and molluscs)

A blue-green algae (cyanobacterium), traditionally wild-harvested from lakes, now also grown under controlled conditions.

• Very high in protein (60–70%), with natural phycocyanin and phenylethylamine (PEA)
• Our controlled cultivation in closed systems avoids the quality and contamination risks of wild-harvested AFA
• Popular in the food supplements market

A freshwater microalga and the richest natural source of astaxanthin.

• Astaxanthin is one of the strongest natural antioxidants known
• Widely used in food supplements, cosmetics and fish feed (pigmentation in salmon)
• A natural alternative to synthetic antioxidants and colorants
