PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Nannochloropsis Powder is derived from a single-celled marine microalga, classified under Chlorophyta. These cells are typically round or oval, measuring 2-4μm in diameter, and possess a thin cell wall. Known for its rapid proliferation and rich nutritional profile, Nannochloropsis is extensively utilized in aquaculture as an excellent feed source for arcidae, shrimp, crab, and rotifers.

Our premium Nannochloropsis algae are cultivated in advanced closed photobioreactors, adhering to rigorous GMP and HACCP standards. The microalgae undergo a gentle dehydration and spray-drying process. Its fine particle size and high purity make this powder ideal for nurturing fish and shrimp larvae in green water cultures, as well as for feeding zooplankton and filter feeders.

Nannochloropsis is a genus of algae comprising six recognized species. Originally documented by Hibberd, these species are predominantly found in marine environments but also inhabit fresh and brackish waters. Characterized by their small, non-motile spherical structure, these species lack distinct morphological features and are indistinguishable through light or electron microscopy.

APPLICATIONS

(1) Source material for Eicosapentaenoic Acid (C20:5 n=3, EPA);
(2) Natural health food component, including infant nutrition, dietary supplements, and natural colorant;
(3) Feed additive for poultry, aquaculture, and livestock;
(4) Ingredient in natural cosmetic formulations.

KEY BENEFITS

  • Comprehensive Superfood: Furnishes over 40 essential nutrients, such as Omega-3s, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants, to foster holistic health and vitality.
  • High Bioavailability: The nutrients in marine phytoplankton are readily absorbed by the body, ensuring peak health benefits and metabolic efficiency.
  • Natural Energy Support: Promotes sustained energy levels throughout the day without the jitteriness or energy crash often associated with caffeine.
  • Pure Single-Source: Unlike multi-ingredient superfood blends, marine phytoplankton offers a singular source of super greens, ensuring consistent quality and purity.
  • Ocular Health Aid: Abundant in zeaxanthin and astaxanthin, potent antioxidants that safeguard eyes from damage and bolster visual acuity.
  • Immune System Boost: These superfood tabs contain Vitamin C, Zinc, and Selenium, which are crucial for a robust immune system and aid in warding off ailments.
  • Sustainable and Eco-Friendly: Cultivated with minimal land and water usage, marine phytoplankton supports environmental stewardship through practices such as water recycling and natural fertilization.

Product Information: "Nannochloropsis Algae Powder"

Our highest quality Nannochloropsis algae is produced in controlled closed photobioreactors, adhering to GMP and HACCP rigorous standards. The microalgae undergo gentle dehydration and spray-drying. Given its small particle size and high purity, this powder is optimally suited for raising fish and shrimp larvae in green water cultures and as feed for zooplankton and filter feeders.

DISTINCTIVE QUALITIES

  • Gently spray-dried, retaining a high content of highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA), particularly EPA.
  • Nannochloropsis gaditana biomass, cultivated in photobioreactors under GMP-compliant conditions.
  • Soluble in water, enabling the creation of a uniform green water culture.
  • Suitable feed for Artemia, rotifers, shrimp larvae, and SPS hard corals.
  • 25 g of powder is equivalent to 50 l of concentrated phytoplankton solution.

PRODUCT CONSTITUENTS

  • Nannochloropsis powder packaged for aroma protection.

RECOMMENDED FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS

First, mix the powder with water in a sealable container to form a concentrated solution, then add it to the culture. For green water cultivation of shrimp and fish larvae, an optimal dosage is 1 g per 100 l. For feeding corals in saltwater aquariums, we advise a daily dosage of 0.5 - 1 g per 100 l. For plankton such as Artemia and rotifers, 0.5 - 1 g per liter should be administered. Additional powder should be introduced if the culture noticeably loses its green coloration.
