Superfoods are (natural) food sources with a high concentration of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and amino-acids, all nutrients that are essential for your health and well-being!

Many people eat too little fruits and vegetables, meaning that they are not having enough vitamins and minerals (micronutrients) on a day-to-day basis. Micronutrient deficiency can possibly lead to all kinds of health issues including illness, weight problems and fatigue. Adding nutrient rich superfoods to your diet can therefore significantly help increasing the intake of micronutrients, which have a positive effect on your health and wellbeing. 

Marine Phytoplankton is known to be one of the most nutrient-dense superfoods available. It is a natural whole food that supports your day-to-day diet. It contains phospholipid Omega-3's, all essential amino-acids, 55+ minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and pigments. 

We often recommend people to combine our Marine Phytoplankton with the Algae Oil Vitamin D3. Why?

- Complete Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA from Phytoplankton & DHA from the D3)
- Complete Vitmin D3
+ You benefit from different nutrients that are present in Marine Phytoplankton.

In case you prefer just a Omega-3 supplement, then we would recommend our Algae Oil Omega-3 EPA+DHA, which offers you a complete Omega-3 supplement with just 1 capsule.

Our premium-quality Marine Phytoplankton is grown in ancient seawater (130.000 year old seawater), which is free of contamination and heavy metals. Furthermore, the production is environmental friendly and no pesticides or herbicides are used. The photobioreactor system in which the algae are grown are fully controlled by PhD microbiologists.

Yes, the microalgae is grown under the HACCP based ISO22000 certification. This certification guarantees that our algae products meet quality standards and are safe for food consumption. 

The EPA in our Marine Phytoplankton is present as phospholipid. These polar lipids optimizes the bioavailability / absorption of EPA into the body. The total amount of polar lipids is not found in any other commercial available micro-algae. 

The recommended dosage (4 small capsules) contains 29% (RI) iodine. Please check whether you take any other products that contain iodine and make sure that you don't surpass the recommended intake (RI).

Omega-3 comes from algae, not fish! Marine Phytoplankton is the actual source of Omega-3 fatty acids. It is therefore a better, vegan and sustainable alternative to fish oil. Our Marine Phytoplankton offers the purest available Omega-3 EPA. 

Yes! Not only our Marine Phytoplankton is vegan, also our capsules are made out of HPMC (cellulose-based). 

We believe that Marine Phytoplankton is a natural multivitamin for now and the future. Instead of taking a traditional multivitamin that is sythetically produced and unnecissarily high dosed, we prefer that people take a natural supplement that combines perfectly with a varied and healthy diet. That is what we offer with Marine Phytoplankton.

No, we would always recommend to supplement B12 next to Marine Phytoplankton.

There is limited research that shows whether it is safe to use algae supplements during pregnancy and/or while breastfeeding. Therefore we recommend to consult your health practioner.

Yes! So far as known, our algae is free of allergens. Please do make sure to always stick to the recommended dose and in case of any (allergic) reactions, directly consult a doctor. 

To compare Chlorella, Spirulina and Marine Phytoplankton, we have highlighted a few things:

- Both Chlorella and Phytoplankton contain high amounts of Chlorofyl, a natural pigment that can be found in plants and algae.

- All algae species offer a wide range of essential vitamins and minerals.

- Spirulina contains the highest amount of protein (60-70%). Marine Phytoplankton contains 50% protein, including all essential amino acids.

- Marine Phytoplankton contains, unlike the other algae species, high amounts of Omega-3 fatty acids.

- Our Marine Phytoplankton is sourced in The Netherlands and offers a 100% pure product. Other companies often choose for algae products that are produced in Asia. We prefer to source local products.
