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 mainly hear from our customers that this product offers energy benefits, and helps to relieve intestinal and skin complaints. Check out the reviews here.

We recommend 4 capsules (2 grams) of Marine Phytoplankton per day.
In terms of intake, it is especially important that you choose what is most comfortable for you. It does not matter whether you choose to take the capsules/powder at the same time or spread them out over the day. However, we do recommend taking Marine Phytoplankton with a meal for better absorption.

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.

Marine Phytoplankton contains about ⅓ of your daily requirement of Omega-3, but only the EPA variant.

This is why we often recommend combining Marine Phytoplankton with our Algae Oil Vitamin D3. This way you get a full profile of Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA from Phytoplankton & DHA from the D3), plenty of Vitamin D3 and benefit from all of the nutrients (75+) from Marine Phytoplankton. All this with just 2 wonderful algae products in your home. 😊

Is you are especially looking for an Omega-3 supplement, we recommend our Algae Oil Omega-3 EPA+DHA, where you get your daily Omega-3 with just 1 capsule.

Yes. Marine Phytoplankton is one ingredient and a natural source of Omega-3-EPA, iron, iodine, vitamin B1 and all essential amino acids. These nutrients are valuable to supplement in a vegetarian or vegan diet. We do recommend supplementing with a B12 supplement. This is because it has not (yet) been researched whether there is an active form of B12 in Marine Phytoplankton. We hope to have a clear answer to this question in the near future.

The powder and the capsules are exactly the same product. The only difference is that the capsules have a casing. We offer this option because the alga has a rather specific flavor (Umami; the 5th basic flavor).

The capsules are made from HPMC (hypromellose). This is a polysaccharide (carbohydrate) extracted from plants & wood. It is the most common way to make plant/vegan capsules. HPMC is known to be highly absorbable capsules.

On the product page, scroll all the way down under the "Nutritional Value (2 grams)" section. It is a good source of Omega-3 EPA, antioxidants, minerals (iron, iodine), amino acids and more.

Store Marine Phytoplankton in a sealed packaging and avoid exposure to light and air for long periods of time. Be sure to always close the package tightly after opening. The product should be stored at the recommended room temperature. On our website, we also offer a beautiful violet glass storage jar. Violet glass offers optimal protection for algae products. By the way, you get this jar for free when you take out a subscription.

The suggested dosage of Marine Phytoplankton, which consists of 4 capsules, provides 29% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of iodine. It's important to verify whether you are consuming other products containing iodine and ensure you stay within the recommended daily intake. Therefore, you may want to consider reducing your daily intake to 1 gram (equivalent to 2 capsules). If you're uncertain, it's advisable to consult with your healthcare provider or family physician.

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 it is safe for children. We do recommend to take 2 capsules / 1 gram for children from 2-6 years old. Children older than 6 can take the normal dosage.

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. 

Also, our products are free of shellfish and crustaceans. However, if you are allergic to these foods, we do always recommend starting with 1 capsule per day and seeing how your body reacts to it since algae also comes from the sea. Although we do not expect any problems, it is wise to be careful with this.

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.

Algae oil is a plant-based alternative for fish oil to get your essential omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. In fact, algae (plankton) are the source of these essential fatty acids. Fish eat algae which gives them their Omega-3. By consuming Omega-3 at its source, you get the pure form of these fatty acids. And that without having to catch a single fish for it!

Oil from the microalgae Schizochytrium sp., rosemary extract, antioxidant (natural mixed tocopherols, ascorbyl palmitate), sunflower lecithin, modified corn starch, glycerol, carrageenan, acidity regulator (sodium carbonate).

Our algae oil is extracted from the microalgae Schizochytrium sp. This specific microalgae is known to be rich in both EPA+DHA.

The Schizochytrium is produced in closed, sterile fermentors under controlled conditions. The patented technology ensures ultra stable oils.

Preferably during or after a meal to enhance the absorbability. However, if you suffer from acid reflux symptoms, take the capsules just before a meal. By doing so, the oil gets quicker in the stomach.

The recommended daily allowance of DHA and EPA differs per health organization. The Dutch Nutrition Centre recommends adults to intake a minimum of 200mg Omega-3 fatty acids per day. This means that our Omega-3 product fulfills you daily requirement with just one capsule.

1 capsule contains a minimal of 250mg DHA and 50mg EPA

Yes, you can cut the capsules with a scissor, knife or pierce it with a needle. We would recommend to mix the oil with juices, smoothies, or with a yoghurt bowl for example. This keeps the taste neutral.

The shelf life is 2 years after the production date. The best before date of your product can be found on the backside of the pouch.

Please note that is essential to keep the product at ambient temperature (15-25 celsius) in a closed and dark area.

It is recommend to preserve the algae oil at ambient temperature (15-25 celsius), without prolonged exposure to light and air. Make sure to always close the packaging properly after opening.

Preferably not. If you store the algae oil in the refrigerator, the oil might become cloudy, because the oil crystallizes.

Yes. In some cases, therapists recommend a higher dosage of Omega-3. Furthermore, the EFSA (European Food Safety Association) recommends consumers to take a maximum of 5 grams (5,000mg) of Omega-3 per day. For example, by taking 2 capsules of our Algae Oil Omega-3 EPA+DHA, you get 600mg of Omega-3.

Our product is 100% non-GMO. Modified corn starch is used to make the gel capsule. This corn starch is not genetically modified but just modified to function as a stabilizer for the capsule. Modified corn starch is therefore not a genetically modified corn starch (not GMO).

Yes. All of our algae products are 100% plant-based.

Yes. the algae oil is free of allergens. You can also take the capsules when you are allergic to fish and/or shellfish, as our product is 100% plant-based, thus fish-free.

Yes. Omega-3 fatty acids are in fact essential for children. We would recommend 1 capsule a day (same as for adults) for children older than 2 years old.

1 capsule contains 250mg of DHA, 2mg EPA and 20mcg Vitamin D.

Yes! Check out our Algae Oil Omega-3 EPA+DHA.

Preferably during or after a meal to enhance the absorbability. However, if you suffer from acid reflux symptoms, take the capsules just before a meal. By doing so, the oil gets quicker in the stomach.

Yes. Both Omega-3 fatty acids and Vitamin D are in fact essential for children. We would recommend 1 capsule a day (same as for adults). for children older than 2 years old. Especially for children up to 2-4 years old it is recommended to take extra vitamin D. The maximum amount of vitamin D for young children is 50mcg (2-4 years old).

Absolutely. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for good health. Not only for you, but also for your child. An intake of 250mg of DHA support the development of the eyes and brain of a child. Therefore, we would definitely recommend pregnant and breastfeeding women to make sure to get adequate amounts of Omega-3. If you take more than just 1 capsule, please keep in mind that our Immunity Caps also contain a high dosage of Vitamin D.

Magnesium, is involved in more than 300 body processes. Among other things, Magnesium contributes to protein synthesis, muscle function, energy-delivering metabolism, concentration, clear mind and much more.

For people with an active lifestyle, a busy schedule or a diet low in magnesium-rich foods such as leafy vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grain products or cocoa, a magnesium supplement may potentially be beneficial.

Most magnesium supplements are linked to a protein through a chemical compound to improve absorption. After checking with a nutrition scientist, we came to the following conclusion: Despite several studies suggesting that certain forms are indeed better absorbed, the evidence is not conclusive. In addition, the differences are certainly not always significant.

We have therefore deliberately chosen Magnesium from a natural source. In this case from an alga: Ulva Lactuca, better known as sea lettuce. Important to increase the absorbability to add proteins + fats. For example, by taking it during a varied meal or with Marine Phytoplankton.

Good to know that the form we offer is the same form as Magnesium you get from your normal diet.

Ingesting 2 grams of Marine Phytoplankton will give you about 10 mg of Magnesium. This is only a small amount. For this reason, we recommend taking a Magnesium supplement with it in case you need it.

Yes. Magnesium is an essential mineral also for children's health and development. We recommend, as with adults, 1 capsule per day for children 10 years old and above.

We recommend taking 1 capsule of Magnesium per day during a meal (with protein + fats) or other algae such as Marine Phytoplankton to increase absorbability.

Our magnesium is extracted from an alga: Ulva Lactuca, better known as Sea Lettuce.

It is picked organically at low tide in Brittany, northern France and dried by solar energy. The crushed alga is used for the final product which consists of 25% natural and organic magnesium.

Astaxanthin is one of the most powerful antioxidant extracted from microalgae. Astaxanthin belongs to the carotenoids, natural colorants responsible for the yellow, orange and red color in fruits and vegetables. It has strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory functions. It is therefore known as a skin supplement. There is evidence that Astaxanthin provides protection against UV radiation, skin aging and contributes to clear skin.

Preferably during or right after meals to optimize absorption.

Our Astaxanthin is responsibly grown and concentrated from the green microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis, known for its high yield of pure astaxanthin. We grow Astaxanthin sustainably in pure Icelandic water, which is free of heavy metals and pollution. In doing so, we exclusively use renewable geothermal energy (known as geothermal heat in the Netherlands), resulting in a CO2-neutral production process.

One capsule contains 4mg. We recommend a maintenance dosage of 8mg, 2 capsules daily.

We recommend storing Astaxanthin at room temperature (15-25 degrees Celsius) in a sealed container without prolonged exposure to light and air. Please store dark and always close the package after opening.

Our product Marine Phytoplankton also contains Astaxanthin. We just don't know exactly how much. We know that 2 grams of Marine Phytoplankton contains 63 mg of Carotenoids, including Astaxanthin, but also other carotenoids such as Zeaxanthin, Lutein, etc. We therefore have a product pure of Astaxanthin.

Yes. All of our algae products are 100% plant-based.

No, it is not recommended that you use Astaxanthin if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. This is because there is not enough research yet on the safety of Astaxanthin in pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Our Astaxanthin is suitable for children over the age of 14.

Astaxanthin can be safely used in combination with most supplements and medications. However, if you are taking other medications, consult your doctor before taking Astaxanthin to avoid possible interactions.

The seaweeds used are grown locally and sustainably in the Netherlands, in the Oosterschelde. 

As a seasoning it offers more than salt. Seaweed contains
a large amount of minerals, vitamins and dietary fiber. Wakame for example is a good source of
calcium and Royal Kombu of iodine. In addition to its richness in nutrients, it
also provides an extra flavor dimension, often referred to as "umami". If you look for a healthy, delicious and sustainable enricher of any dish, our seaweed seasonings offer a great option.

With the plnktn Wakame and Royal Kombu, you can add seaweed to your everyday dishes in an easy way.

You can use it to flavor salads, sprinkle over rice or noodles, upgrade your avocado sandwich, or even on your boiled or fried egg.

The plnktn seasonings offer more than salt. It contains various minerals and vitamins, including calcium, iodine and vitamins A, E and K. Wakame is a good source of calcium and Royal Kombu of iodine.

Wakame has a slight sweet mineral flavor and is often described as slightly umami.
Royal kombu, also known as sugar weed, because it has a sweet & salty taste. It has a stronger umami flavor.

Both seaweeds are excellent seasonings for everyday dishes.
