Premium bioactive compounds from microalgae.
Pharma-grade ingredients cultivated through 100% circular, carbon-negative production — powering nutraceuticals, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
High-value bioactive portfolio
Six premium compounds extracted from proprietary microalgae strains, serving pharma, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries.
Fucoxanthin
Powerful carotenoid with proven anti-obesity, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties. Found exclusively in brown algae.
Photosynthetic Proteins
Novel fluorescent proteins with applications in medical diagnostics, bioimaging, and advanced research tools.
Omega-3 (EPA/DHA)
Plant-based essential fatty acids supporting cardiovascular and cognitive health. Sustainable alternative to fish oil.
β-Carotene
Natural provitamin A and powerful antioxidant. Used in supplements, food coloring, and skincare formulations.
Lutein
Essential carotenoid for eye health and macular protection. Growing demand in aging population supplements.
Vitamin E (Tocopherols)
Natural antioxidant protecting cells from oxidative stress. Premium ingredient in skincare and health products.
