Vitakruid Marine phytoplankton with klamath, wakame extract, among othersMarine Phytoplankton: powerful plankton supplement
Combination of micro- and macroalgae
Algae are among the oldest life forms on Earth and have formed the base of the ocean's food chain for millions of years. They are masters of photosynthesis, converting sunlight, water, and minerals into nutrients. Within this versatile group, we distinguish between large macroalgae (seaweeds) and microscopic microalgae, which are often part of plankton.
Algae provide essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. Additionally, they are rich in phytonutrients, antioxidants, and bioactive compounds, making them a natural and versatile food source.
Marine Phytoplankton: pure, standardized, and transparent
Marine Phytoplankton combines the power of four carefully selected algae: Chlorella, Spirulina, Klamath algae, and Wakame.
The power of this plankton supplement lies in the synergy between the algae and the quadruple standardization. Each alga is standardized for active pigments such as phycocyanin, chlorophyll, and fucoxanthin. These pigments give the algae their striking blue, green, or brown color. These natural colorants are not only beautiful to look at but also form an important part of the algae's rich nutritional profile. Standardization ensures that these valuable phytonutrients are present in the same amount in each dose.
All algae originate from controlled sources and are free of unnecessary additives. Furthermore, kombu, such as royal kombu (Saccharina latissima), has deliberately not been added. Kombu contains a lot of iodine. This choice keeps the iodine content of Marine Phytoplankton low and safe to use.
The four algae in Marine Phytoplankton
Chlorella (Chlorella vulgaris)
Chlorella is a green freshwater alga known for its high nutritional value. Thanks to efficient photosynthesis, it grows quickly and is exceptionally nutrient-rich. Chlorella also contains a high content of nucleic acids (approximately 10% RNA and 3% DNA) and the unique Chlorella Growth Factor (CGF) – a complex of nucleic acids, peptides, amino acids, polysaccharides, vitamins, and minerals found only in Chlorella.
2.5% chlorophyll
For Marine Phytoplankton, it is cultivated under strictly controlled conditions and standardized to 2.5% chlorophyll.
Spirulina (Limnospira platensis)
Spirulina is a blue-green microalga that naturally grows in warm, alkaline lakes and has a particularly nutritious profile. This alga consists of 60-70% high-quality protein. In addition to proteins, Spirulina is rich in vitamins and plant-based phytonutrients.
18% phycocyanin
Spirulina in Marine Phytoplankton is standardized to 18% phycocyanin, the pigment that gives this alga its deep blue color. This standardization guarantees quality and purity.
Klamath algae (Aphanizomenon flos-aquae)
Klamath algae grows in Upper Klamath Lake in Oregon. This is a pure and mineral-rich lake fed by volcanic ash and surrounded by clean air and sunlight. Here, the algae are wild-harvested under optimal conditions. In the world of algae, Klamath is often seen as a particularly complete food source – partly due to its rich nutrient profile.
5% phycocyanin & 4% chlorophyll
In Marine Phytoplankton, Klamath algae is standardized to 5% phycocyanin and 4% chlorophyll, the natural pigments characteristic of this blue-green alga.
Wakame (Undaria pinnatifida)
Wakame is an edible brown seaweed that has been a staple in Japanese, Korean, and Chinese cuisine for centuries. It is rich in minerals, vitamins, and fiber and is valued worldwide in traditional diets.
1% fucoxanthin
For Marine Phytoplankton, a rare standardized extract with 1% fucoxanthin has been chosen. This pigment is characteristic of brown algae and makes Wakame a natural source of marine bioactive compounds.
The production process: nutrient availability
Many nutrients in algae are locked within the cell, protected by sturdy cell walls made of a compact polysaccharide structure. These walls are naturally difficult to digest and limit absorption.
Broken cell wall
During the production process of Marine Phytoplankton, the cell walls are therefore carefully broken, so that the bioactive substances are released and become more absorbable. This increases bioavailability and helps the body optimally utilize the nutrients.
