Vegan Phytoplankton - Nannochloropsis - 100 grams
What is Nannochloropsis?
Nannochloropsis, or Marine Phytoplankton is a microscopic plant that is at the very bottom of the food chain. Since a billion years ago, all living things, both in the ocean and on land, have been directly dependent on phytoplankton. This plant from the ocean supplies about 70% of all oxygen on earth. Like land plants, phytoplankton perform photosynthesis, using sunlight to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen. This oxygen production is vital for maintaining the respiration of many marine organisms and contributes to the oxygen level in the atmosphere.
Marine Phytoplankton is also the food from which fish derive their high omega 3 content. Small herbivorous organisms, such as zooplankton, feed on phytoplankton. In turn, these herbivores are eaten by small fish, which pushes the food chain further up. In this way, phytoplankton indirectly provides many marine animals with food.
A lot of research is currently being done into the plant because of its rich nutritional profile.
This Marine Phytoplankton powder contains 120 mg EPA per 2 grams of powder.
The Marine Phytoplankton has been tested for traces of pollution.
