We produce high-yield strains of Isochrysis galbana<\/em>. Cultivation takes place indoors<\/em>, in tubular reactors and under specific conditions, to produce high-value microalgae. <\/p>

  • 100% European, sustainable and traceable production:<\/span> Cultivated using seawater from the Bay of Biscay \u2014 without the use of fresh water or competition with agricultural crops.<\/li>
  • Optimised strains and processes:<\/span> Isochrysis galbana<\/em> adapted for consistent bioactive profiles and high industrial yield.<\/li>
  • Consistent and reproducible production:<\/span> Year-round controlled indoor<\/em> cultivation using standardised processes and digital monitoring.<\/li>
  • European certifications and standards:<\/span> GMP, COSMO, non-GMO, vegan and eco-friendly production, in accordance with EU regulations on quality, safety and sustainability.<\/li>
  • Innovation platform:<\/span> A bridge between scientific research and the commercialisation of new European natural ingredients.<\/li><\/ul>

    We also harvest and dry the biomass at our facilities, using centrifugation and dehydration. Once the processing is complete, the biomass is ready to be packaged and shipped.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    It is a miracle molecule<\/b> for health; a functional carotenoid with applications in animal and human health, cosmetics and advanced nutrition.<\/p>

    • Fucoxanthin is a natural antioxidant<\/b> and fat burner<\/b>. It has anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective and anti-tumour properties<\/b>, which have been validated by scientific studies. <\/span><\/li>
    • It can only be obtained from brown macroalgae and marine microalgae<\/b>: there is no viable synthetic alternative.<\/span><\/li>
    • Today, 90% of the world\u2019s fucoxanthin comes from Asia, sourced from macroalgae, with poor traceability and unsustainable production processes.<\/span><\/li>
    • Europe does not produce fucoxanthin on an industrial scale.<\/span><\/li>
    • The European market is fragmented, consisting of a small number of small producers who are unable to provide a continuous and stable supply throughout the year. <\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
