We sell the purest and healthiest phytoplankton available. Benefit from this exceptionally powerful, nutrient-rich microalga.
Marine Phytoplankton may well be the healthiest food in the world. Phytoplankton is a saltwater microalga that, like spirulina and chlorella, belongs to the single-celled algae. Yet it is no ordinary alga: it is the source of all life on Earth. The Earth is around 4 billion years old, and marine phytoplankton is thought to be around 3 billion years old. This alga gave rise to the first life in the oceans, which then began to develop on land too. In this way, it formed the foundation for life as we know it on Earth.
Even today, Marine Phytoplankton accounts for a quarter of all vegetation on Earth and provides us with 90% of all the oxygen on our planet, more than all plants and trees combined. An interesting fact: Marine Phytoplankton is the main food source for whales, the world's largest mammals, which live to between 70 and 200 years old. It is remarkable that such a single-celled microorganism is responsible for the long life of the world's largest mammal.
Why is it so incredibly healthy?
Marine Phytoplankton's position at the foundation of life and the food chain is thanks to its exceptionally high and wide-ranging nutritional value. The alga contains a complete range of amino acids, chlorophyll, enzymes, vitamins, trace elements and minerals. More importantly, it contains extremely high amounts of the omega-3 fatty acid EPA. Below is a complete list of the nutrients in Marine Phytoplankton:
- Protein (over 60%!)
- Chlorophyll
- Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, C and E
- Polyphenols
- Minerals (calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium)
- Trace elements (selenium, iodine, zinc and iron)
- Polysaccharides
- All 9 amino acids that the body cannot produce itself
- All essential fatty acids (Omega-3 and -6)
- Long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids (E.P.A.)
- Nucleotides
This composition means that Marine Phytoplankton delivers a complete package with the right amounts of nutrients. It does so in a unique way. Because its molecules are 5 times smaller than a red blood cell, it does not depend on digestion or the liver for absorption. As a result, Marine Phytoplankton is 100% absorbed by the body, allowing it to enter cells directly. This makes Marine Phytoplankton unique.
Out with the fish oil!
Marine Phytoplankton is the world's most versatile source of omega 3 fatty acids. Think about it: where do krill and fish get their important omegas? That's right, by taking in Phytoplankton from the water. With krill or fish oil, you are therefore getting second-hand nutrition. At each step in the food chain, the omegas lose some of their nutritional value. With Marine Phytoplankton, you get the original source and the complete package of nutrients.
Many scientists also advise avoiding fish oil altogether, given the rising levels of mercury and other toxic metals found in many cold-water fish (source). Choose a plant-based supplement such as Marine Phytoplankton instead, which contains all omega 3s in exceptionally high amounts and has a higher bioavailability than any other omega 3 source.
Marine Phytoplankton from Morgen is Nu
When we set out to find our own Marine Phytoplankton, we first looked for the best natural source. Unfortunately, we soon discovered that a natural source is not actually desirable. This is because of the increasing levels of heavy metals in seawater. So we looked for a producer that cultivates it in the best possible way. And we found one!
Of the 40,000 species of phytoplankton, only a few are suitable for humans. Research shows, however, that one particular species stands out for its nutritional profile: nannochloropsis gaditana (source). This is the Phytoplankton we sell. The microalga is grown in technologically advanced photobioreactors. These bioreactors consist of a transparent, closed system of tubes in which sunlight and natural photosynthesis allow the phytoplankton to grow freely, without competition from other algae.
Our Marine Phytoplankton grows in ancient seawater (130,000 years old). This water is extracted from deep underground. It is therefore guaranteed to be free from contaminants and heavy metals. The production system is environmentally friendly, and no pesticides or herbicides are used. Every production batch is continuously checked for quality and compliance with all strict European requirements.
A useful extra: we use Miron violet glass for our Marine Phytoplankton. This glass acts as a natural filter, allowing only the light rays that protect and benefit the contents to pass through. The glass blocks all visible light except violet light. This provides optimal protection for the contents against the harmful effects of visible light, preserving shelf life and effectiveness.
Various sources, including scientific sources, show that Marine Phytoplankton works well in synergy with MSM, particularly by enhancing the power of the antioxidants. Get extra benefit from this product by combining it with MSM.
