Marine phytoplankton is a single cell micro-algae, and the basis of the ocean food chain. In its ocean setting, phytoplankton is a vital aspect of our global ecosystem providing between 50-80% of the world’s oxygen through the process of photosynthesis.
Phytovive marine phytoplankton is nature’s most ancient and potent food source, and forms the basis of the ocean food chain. It is packed full of vitamins, trace ocean minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants such as beta-carotene, astaxanthin, zeaxanthin, violaxanthin and chlorophyll, and EFAs. In their (microscopic) individual form, marine phytoplankton are 5-7 times smaller than red blood cells, and as they do not depend on the digestive system for processing, they are a highly bioavailable source of nutrients, which can be directly absorbed into the bloodstream.
• Valuable source of vegan omega-3 and 6 fatty acids and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid)
• Source of antioxidants
• Source of a wide array of vitamins & trace minerals
• Helps to form red blood cells
• Helps in the normal function of the immune system
• Helps in energy metabolism in the body
• Helps to maintain the body’s ability to metabolize nutrients
• Helps to balance the body’s pH levels
Omega-3 fatty acid EPA is an essential fatty acid which is necessary for our health and as the name implies, is essential to gain from our diet as our bodies cannot generate this for ourselves. All EPA originates from marine microalgae, which is then consumed by marine fish such as salmon, tuna, and krill, and makes its way up the food chain. Marine phytoplankton is the only bio-available form of vegan Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and by going to the basis of the ocean food chain, we can receive the full benefits of this incredible food source. Plant oils such as hemp and flax do not contain EPA, and while they do contain other essential Omega-3 fatty acids in ALA form, these must be converted by the body into EPA. Phytovive marine phytoplankton is the most bio-available, vegan form of EPA for your essential fatty acid needs.
