NannOcea® in
functional food

NannOcea® is a naturally nutrient-dense phytoplankton powder made from Nannochloropsis oceanica, one of Earth’s most resilient microalgae.
As a whole-food ingredient, it combines bioavailable EPA omega-3, complete plant protein, and naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in a single, minimally processed powder.

Whole-food ingredient: 100% microalgae, minimally processed

Nutrient-dense: EPA omega-3, protein with all essential amino acids, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals

Clean-label: Non-GMO, vegan, allergen-free, no additives

EU made & certified: ISO 9001 & ISO 22000, traceable supply chain

Micronutrients

Naturally present vitamins, minerals, and trace elements from a single, whole-food source

Science-driven functional
nutrition

NannOcea® combines two highly researched nutrition pillars in one ingredient: plant-based protein and
marine-derived EPA omega-3. Nannochloropsis oceanica naturally provides ~40–50% protein, essential
amino acids including BCAAs, and a concentrated source of EPA, alongside carotenoids, polyphenols,
vitamins, and minerals.

Emerging research supports its potential as a functional food ingredient. In pre-clinical models, N. oceanica biomass improved body composition and metabolic parameters when added as a whole-food component. Additional toxicology work on Nannochloropsis biomass and oil indicates high tolerability and supports its
safety as an ingredient.

Beyond microalgae-specific data, EPA itself is supported by decades of research linking intake to cardiovascular health, inflammatory balance, cognitive function, and aspects of immune resilience.
NannOcea® offers this fatty acid in a whole-food matrix that also delivers protein, antioxidants, and fiber - making it relevant for holistic, food-first nutrition concepts.

We actively partner with brands and research groups to design prototypes, generate stability and sensory data, and prepare science-backed dossiers for upcoming launches.
